How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
You take the role of a "QA guy" and have to find bugs in a game coincidentally also called Space Buggers.
We think this fits very well with theme since finding errors in a fake game becomes the main feature of the real game.
While developing it, we found ourselves debugging our own intentionally-added bugs, which was hilarious!

This was great, loved the idea, it's like a microcosm of QA testing gamified! I can totally see this idea being expanded, especially to other retro games.
I’m not sure if this was one of the bugs intended for the jam, but when I try to interact with the console, for some reason I can open the credits menu and restart the game.
I really liked the aesthetics.
i even found the 8th bug) if you die while outside boundaries the controls stay inversed and sometimes it causes crash) but in overall the game has great retro artstyle, matching audio and interesting gameplay
