Haha, the story and the bugged parts are great.

Really cool story! Glitching through the matrix was a really interesting intro setup for everything.

Panic PlexReally enjoyable game, the story and the mechanics are really really good. It would have been so nice if the game was longer, just to show off more of the mechanics (there could have been some interesting puzzles with that press-shift thing) and to develop a bit more the story. But in general you did a good job, nice!

Liquid DreamsThe idea/story was very fun and charming! I also liked the mechanics of switching between the different states of the world and how it looked :D
Interesting ending as well, wasn't expecting it!

Fake to EscapeThe first thing, which impress you on this game is its funny name. This was only original reason why i played it, but when I started to play I saw, that this game has lot more to offer me. In addition to the funny name, the game has a interesting mechanics. On the other hand, design is not a strong part of the entry. I know that not everybody (including me) has artistic talent, but you should find some artistic references to follow next time. Then you'll see, that you can do better art.

Unreal DungeonOoh man what a sad end for all of us heroes of the bug killing! LOL
Congratz on the awsome game idea!

Pixels in BlackSuper cool concept! The story was pretty well done and told in a cool way. I did encounter a bug, spoiler...
After fixing the game and going on the second run, if u die at the lake area, it would send you back to the "This jump is impossible sequence" and had to replay through the whole falling down into the code sequence
Overall, cool game! Would love to see the story get more developed.

Illusionwow this was such a neat and unique game! I loved your take on the theme and that bug vision was seriously awesome. Amazing job!

Birds are RealAs stated by others here in the comments section, you nailed it at the "bug vision" feature. Not only this was very innovative but it also fits the theme so much. I just missed the SE's and BGM's.
Also, I saw in the comments that you made this whole thing in just two days, which impresses me a lot. I made mine in 4, and the game isn't nearly as big as yours! Nice job!

Fake GameI really liked the "view the code to see the bugs" mechanic, that was super neat. It was a neat interpretation of the "it is not real" theme as well. I thought the story could use some more, but considering it was a week long jam, it was really good :) Congrats!
