I can't figure out what to do once I get to the BACKGROUND part. Non of the commands seem to work

Oh, if the screen still said “Press any key to continue” then you might have gotten trapped in the debug console.

Pressing either Esc or ~ keys should get you out of the console input.

That was one of several small annoyances I would have fixed about the debug console if I had the time; Most terminals let you click away from a text bar to release focus on it. :(

Thanks I'll try it!

Ok what do I do with the sprig on the about screen... I'm very confused

Developer

Sorry about the delay, It plays a part in one of the unexplained puzzles. If you found it early on, just ignore it until Debug-Me gives up

Submitted

Ok lol

Pretty clever idea and nice easter eggs. Good job :D

Nice job, I've only seen a couple the game is missing games in this jam so far. It's very meta and funny.

Excellent job with the theme. I was surprised more people didn't do "the game itself is missing", but maybe that's cause people were drawn to the oregano wildcard. And I love the meta humor. I feel like you have potential for more games with meta like this.

I enjoyed this game. Can see it's definitely hard to pull this off in just a week, impressed you got as much done as you did. Very meta though, and I love this type of game, so was pretty fun.

It was fun trying to find what was missing, and the easter eggs! Some things were maybe happening too quickly for the player to realize

Developer

Thanks! I definitely would have completely redone the “fake Me” text to be player based if I were to do it again. That bugged me too.
