How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
I've taken the theme incredibly literally and you're explicitly playing with the word "Error", allowing you to solve puzzles using letters from the word and by forming other words.
Did you include a fake publisher splash screen at the start of your game?
No
Did you use the Audius API in your game?
No
If AI was used in your game, let us know how you used it.
None.

Brilliant! The concept is unique and level design is great, we need more levels!
In case you want another type of puzzle game, check out mine!
Interesting idea and great implementation. Took me a little bit to undestand how it works as I never played BABA IS YOU, but when it clicked it was fun!
please rate I found the concept interesting, I'll see what surprises me the most, my game too if you can, thanks.
This game was an unexpected little brain teaser that I actually enjoyed! The right mouse click to move was giving me a little bit of trouble in the browser, but outside of that I thought this idea was really fun and unique. Well done!
Fun, but I feel like LMB doesn't work properly
very much could be, as I just did some jank to make it work and allow me to share the click action for both selecting a word or subtracting a letter from the word- can't tell if I just got used to it, or if it's actually jank
however, if you're talking about double-clicking letters and them not activating, they will not activate unless they have AT LEAST an orange letter in their composition, so that's intended
still, thank you very much for taking the time to play!
Great idea!
Please put a big text with camera controls text at the top of the description :)
Started playing, got a bit confused then worked it out, but still unclear. Good game idea and implementation
Clever little word game. I'm not sure I fully understand it, but mixing and matching letters to spell new words and then move those words around through the level is a really promising concept. I got stuck here, though:
I think it's right but I can't click on executable to activate it for some reason.
I think with a bit more refinement this could be a really fun word puzzler.
Thanks for taking time for playing!
So, this is one thing that I didn't have a chance to properly implement, which is an actual "reset" function, that causes the level to run again from the beginning.
Long story short, this breakdown is intended, as you basically will always end up with an "EXE" with 1-orange:2-blue combination; If there was a chance to make more levels and think things more thoroughly, the concept of "only words with an orange letter can be moved" would've stuck.
Consequently, this is a trap that was explicitly designed, because if you take the blue E from "EXE" to stick into "EXECUTABLE" instead of the orange "E" from EXE, you're hard-locking yourself out of solving the level, because "EXECUTABLE" now can never be activated, as it only has blue letters, and you cannot swap letters without a space available, so you're locked out of the solution.
Im a bit clueless on how to play the game. I did manage to put the word "OPEN" and it opens up a gate and then from there I have no idea where to go.
it's not explicitly described inside the main game, apart from F1 for Help, but you can drag the camera around using the right click
from there, you'll basically use the words you're forming/generating (if applicable) to continue the conversation - basically you'll find a sentence with a missing spot and you just put whatever word you feel it's applicable in the sentence by walking
