Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- Music can really create a different mood for a game! A simple platformer, but so relaxing while listening to the songs.
How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
The game is a platformer and has some pseudo-bug tricks such as teleportation underground after pressing certain keys. Also, some parts of the levels can only be passed by using one of the bugs. In addition, the game has a small lore and the concept of bugs is written into it.
Did you include a fake publisher splash screen at the start of your game?
Did you use the Audius API in your game?
How did you use the Audius API in your game?
Audius API is used for a unique background music player that is activated via a specific NPC and plays 5 random tracks from the site for the player to choose from. The genre of the track also has a slight influence on the environment.

You did pretty good actually for a 3 days long jam! The levels were cool and I found funny the way you added background music! I just had some problems with the dash not working and the difficulty to use the infinite jump trick (sometimes won't work and you can't really change direction doing that). Finally, it could have been good to have some logical explenation of the glitches rather than key combinations, but I would say it don't really matter for a jam game with a short window. Keep the good work!
Great game!
For some reason, I wasn't able to work out combinations like Shift + A/D but I loved the funny interactions :)
cool idea i did like how the environment changed for the music. I kept dying later on I wasn't that good at it. :)
