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.

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!!
Very cool! Perfect base for raging with friends!
super creative idea! love it
The game is very beautiful and smooth and that flash platform is very fast lol, please rate my game too if you can, thanks.
Very nice! The way the theme was implemented is really clever. If I have one little improvement area, it would be the level design of the end part. I found it a little chaotic. Anyway the art and music were really good and I had a lot of fun so thank you!
I love the art, the music, everything! But i don't really understand how the theme is integrated in this game
Love the art style and the mechanic is so cool.
Character movement felt great and the main mechanic was awesome !
I knew that this would be a great game from the cover art and it did not disappoint. I felt your mechanic was super unique and I wanna see more Lagum!
Clever idea, doesn't outstay its welcome. Well done. I think some of the platforms move too quick even with the slowdown but other than that it was fun.
Love this. Very clever idea and it has been my favourite interpretation I've seen of the theme so far.
gameplay feels smooth and the art is cute.
i liked the game it has a unique mechanic but i felt sad when i reached the end so shortly
The concept is insane!
Very smart to use a fake framerate bug to affect the world time, this is very fun to play and discover the various mechanics!
Amazing idea to use low memory and fps to your advantage. I would love to see some more levels tbh. too short. Overall awsome work!.
Thank you!
