What a funny concept. I included it in my compilation video series of the ‘So Bad It’s Good’ Jam, if you’d like to take a look. :)

If you have implemented the modifier, how have you done so?
I added a mini-game that used to be called the impossible labyrinth... Also, the modifier is part of the story.

Yep, this game is impossible.
I can't really say I had *fun* playing it. It was more a mix of anger, frustration and confusion. With that said, I like the backstory, and I think it's a great premise. Funnily enough, in one of my previous SBIGJam games, a big part was on solving Captchas. I think this executed the concept much more deeply though!
Well done!
A very catchy spot-on game title and idea. I understand all the fuzz about the game. Congratulations. One of my favourites.

The StreakI love the theme and the premise of the game. The music and sound effects make it tense right away. Good variation in tasks to do.
Nice job!

Patty Hawk's Pro (Impossible) BurgerThis game is original, but hard as nails. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but your Modifier score is through the roof! :D

The Perfect GameI've decided to try using a standard format for all my feedback this time around. Please excuse me if I come across as overly curt or miss something important about your game. I'm writing these all quite hastily as there are a lot of games in the jam this year!
What I liked
The style and presentation of this game fits together fantastically. It reminds me of some of the Flash games from back in the day.
What I didn't like
The gameplay. It reminds me of those "impossible maze" kind of Flash games, which I've never been a fan of. It's not bad, necessarily, but really not my thing.
Did I think it was so bad it was good?
Oh, yeah.
My thoughts on the modifier implementation
It took me a while to figure out how it was woven into the backstory but once I did, I was like, yeah, that's pretty cool.
Verdict
Not really my cup of tea personally, but I can appreciate the style of it and it's definitely a good fit for this jam.
If you have any questions, comments, queries or concerns, please reply and I'll do my best to get back to you.

RiftBreakI think that the game wins the "Modifier" category..

The last Trip of the Magic BusHAHA
I had fun with this one. I think it's the only game I have been able to finish playing less than 15 minutes. The concept is promising, I would like to see a next episode.

Delivery BoyHaven't made it past the maze level. Oh man, those gunshots...

An Adventure HappenWow.... this game is pretty intense for something about CAPTCHAs. I like how the backstory is read by a robotic voice! Also the intense music really adds to the atmosphere. I never knew trying to pass the captcha test could feel so life threatening, I literally jump the moment I hear the gun shots and Jerry's death sound. This really has an intense plot, it feels like a really good game, hardly any bad in it, but the plot of captchas makes it ridiculous--the idea really is so bad, it's good! Congrats on managing to make a simple concept so deadly. Also, I keep dying in the "simple maze" section, so the impossible factor is in there as well. I hope to pass that level at some point.
