How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
The gameplay is centered around causing errors in the code (with the help of a bug!) in order to complete levels. Since the errors disable different parts of the code, some wonkiness is expected

Great game! I think it may be my favourite of the jam so far, well done! I found it a bit too hard but the concept is great and fits the theme so well. plus makes a really unique platformer

This was an awesome idea!  it's difficult at first, I was devising ways I could do the bug disruption, like, should i drag the mouse from the top or bottom or side, and how will that mess with my coordination as i am moving from left to right.  it was a good practice of dexterity.  The concept is really innovative, I thought it was just a platformer, until i noticed the bug moving on the side of the screen , then i realized it was following my mouse, i chuckled when that happened.  overall great job this was a fun experience and unique idea!

The bug mechanic was tiny hard to get used to. I really liked the art style and corrupting the code!

Thanks, happy to hear our core vision is appreciated, even if the controls are a bit wonky

I found that controls a bit hard but very creative and fun game!

Thanks! We felt a bit unsure about the controls, but I'm glad you still liked it
