The art is so simple yet polished, and the animations of the player make him feel so alive. The character controls also felt great, fun mechanic and great job!!

How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
We started from the concept of turning framerate dips into a core mechanic. Initially we thought of it as a way to slow down platforms and obstacles to help with timing, but by making the player unaffected by the reduced FPS and by tying the FPS drops to the dash, one of the player's main movement abilities, we found really interesting emergent behaviours. Plus, by intentionally incorporating a common programming mistake--forgetting to include delta time calculations in some of the objects--we fully leaned into the chaos by making some objects slow down when the FPS drops while others zip around the screen.
