How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Our game embraces the theme “The Error is the Feature” by turning a classic bug into a core gameplay mechanic. Normally, when a game starts and collisions fail to activate, players fall through the floor—a frustrating error. In our game, we make this a feature: the player can toggle collisions to phase through platforms.

It’s designed like a rage game, in the spirit of Getting Over It or Peak, where making mistakes—and the chaos they create—is part of the fun. The frustration caused by errors becomes a gameplay tool, turning challenge and chaos into an entertaining experience.

I was plat forming I thought the flow at first even with the tiny screen was cool, but I was playing on desktop, maybe I lost something in translation from whatever you where playing on?

The movements of the main character were maybe a bit too fast, but overall the collisions mechanic was very fun! Maybe some visual clues for the collisions being turned off would help this game, anyway, fun entry :)
