This was super cool and the art was nice. I think there is a lot of potential. One thing that made me frustrated and quit eventually was that last puzzle and the random jump variation. I think you need to make that a lot less random because I would try over and over and sometimes my jump would be super short and other times it would be fine. After like 30 times trying to create and jump on the path to the phone. Maybe half of those were randomly failing from the second box to the third box (sometimes the jump would work other times it would be a pitiful jump). It also seemed like looking up made the jump longer? which meant that I could not always see which direction I was initially jumping to.

Thx for playing! i think the path was on the trailer on youtube, was only 1, on the rigth, eventually you can use the boxes to create another path, but i agree, i could improve that putting a color if you jumped 1 time over the rigth one, but was too late to added in the jam haha, overall, thx again for playing and you comment!

Ah man! should have watched the trailer lol... I tried to jump on 2 of the cloud things and fell through and I saw the boxes and thought you wanted us to use those based on the previous puzzle.

interesting environment and situation. I liked the "interference" screen effects when i right clicked :)

Nice game! with lots of glitches :) I got stuck at the platforming puzzle, I could not figure out the way to the red phone, I thought I tried everything...

Developer

Thx for playing! the good path on the platform was the one of the rigth, the mecanic was the try, fail and don't go again to that platform haha

Really fitting the theme, very interesting freeze-time mechanic. Even if there should be another level, very polished.

Developer

thx for playing! :D

it's a good game, like the sound and effects, but i didn't understand what i shoud do?

Developer(+1)

Thx for playing! you need to make the opposite that the normal games, you have to fail 3 times, then fail the jump, you will break the code made for the programmer who did that game(into the game). In the Street "broken" you need to break again the code, using the boxes to create a stair and reach the white zone(into the building near you, a bit up the boxes zone). Then you will see a door, who will break more and more the code, and you will reach finally a red phone, and you will discover the truth of the game, everything was made by a programmer, your player was not real, but the programmer was. (Second cliffhander, the programmer does not know he was created too, it's like a matrix with origin shit i thinked haha)

I like that the dash is just long enough to jump across the building 3 times and then fall... Also the glitch effect is really cool, but unfortunally i don't know what to do after you fell (i noticed that you can freeze boxes on air, but what do i have to do with it??) :/

Developer(+1)

Thx for playing! you need to make a stairs with the boxes and reach the white building with a door (it's over the boxes, the building near the one you want to jump). and when you reach the door, all the scenario will change

I like the music and the glitchy visuals!
Great job!

Nice game! The graphics were awesome. I was confused at the start but managed to figure it out. Overall great job! :D

fun graphics, maybe a little bright, gameplay was interesting, love that it was a glitchy and crazy after falling off the building, I'll admit I got stuck on the platforming, but failing more and more would have lead to success :)

Fun music, fun gamepplay, simple, and sticks to the topic, the more you fail the more you know the right way. I was stuct at first with the puzzle a bit, but i figured it out so its good i guess :)

Bonus points for POLYGON city pack as i used the same one in my game, Feel free to drop by :)

And the easter eggs, bruh, THEY KNOW!
