- Perfectly thematic and flawlessly executed (though I did end up softlocked at the end when the pixelated wall blocked all the shots from coming in or out)
How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
This game is a broken version of a retro classic. It starts out normal, but gets more and more chaotic.

Gave feedback live in the Jamlytics VC- hope some of it sticks for future updates / jams.
Simple, but really enjoyable! Music is so good.
You remade one of my childhood games into a buggy mess and i loved it! You took such a simple concept gave it this much complexity with the theme of the jam and you did all this perfectly. Great soundtrack and i loved to hear it change when you are out of the play area. Great job on every aspect!
This was a wonderfully buggy release. The retro theme was well integrated to the art, and glitches looked good. I could almost smell the smoke rising from the arcade machine.
Perfect! I love how this simple game can adopt the theme perfectly. The glitchy art also amazing, you must be a pro, it is not something a newbie like me can achieve.
Great implementation of space invaders! I love how the start and glitch messages were implemented. It adds an interesting twist on space invaders, which I think thematically is a great pick because of it's place in history as the original "The bug is a feature" game. :)
Great work!
Amazing game! Very polished, great art direction, and awesome music. Maybe you could improve the game’s cover art to make it more appealing.
Really nails the retro with a twist vibe! Super well executed. The twists are fun and get better and better.
I enjoyed this game, a lot of it thanks to the visuals and music. I was kinda bad at the actual gameplay tbh haha. I thought the controls are a bit too janky, not sure if that was intentional or not, especially on early level like level 2, where the game just feels like it slows down and not very responsive. On top of that I also encountered a bug where it prevented me from shooting.
Innovative and fun, but maybe controls could be improved.
Glad you enjoyed our Game!
Could you explain what lead to the bug? Where was the player located when the bug happened?
If you want you can also give feedback on how to improve the movement.
It's great, i wish it didn't fully restart on death. Meybe you could do something with infinite lives, but hits reduces your final score? Have mercy on terrible gamers like me :)
We will include a baby-mode in our future games :)
This is really cool, some of my favorite games from this jam have been retro-glitched games, and this is one of the reasons why. Simple gameplay loop, but the glitches make it feel fun and fresh. Everything felt polished and had great feel. Nicely done!
I got recommended by someone in my jam team as being excellent, and they were right! Fits the theme perfectly, polished, great idea. Love it
Fantastic. Took me a minute to figure out the twist om level two, but the whole thing was really great!
Masterclass
This is another 10/10 from me! I really liked how you made the classic atari space invaders game and give it some twist to fit the theme! Ngl I had fun with this one even though I died for few times but finally I managed to complete the game! You guys did a really great job!
Yeaaahhh, broken retro game squad💪💪💪
Fantastic job! :D
That's a perfect for me: you made a great remake that fit the theme!
I also don't know how i ended the game but I did it ! xD
it's going to become one of the winners
Cool game! I really liked the combination of graphics and music, everything is done very nicely. Also, the new mechanics introduced with each level keep it from getting boring. The only thing is, my reaction time isn't good enough to hit that last alien :D
Really cool and fun twist on space invaders (and I'm very happy it's not yet another platformer). The music and vfx was bangin. My only wish is some checkpoints. I gave when I died the second time on the same level, don't feel like starting over from the beginning again.
