A cryptic puzzle game about being a bad coder. Also ducks. · By BobboDev

Imo, level 9 feels out of place.

Since levels changed around, to clarify, I mean the level where the floor has random collision.

All other levels are about clever problem solving, but once you figure them out, you're pretty much done, just needing to walk a little to reach the end. Level 9 is different, most of the effort comes from navigating the level itself instead of problem solving, after you know the solution you could very well be stuck in it if you're not patient enough, specially if you want the golden bug.

There could also be a bug, the first time I tried the level I just couldn't reach the golden bug at all, I tried many times and there was no path, even tested if maybe some "0s" close to the golden bug actually had collision... they didn't and that made me just quit the game. Today I reloaded it and noticed the floor pattern changed, that it's random. This time I got the bug first try very close to the start of the level. Not sure that's good design.... or maybe you could incorporate the randomness by strongly hinting at it so people know to reload for easier patterns.

Yeah I quit the game at this point lol its very obvious what you have to do but its just boring and painful to do it

Yeah I also quit the game at that point, the idea is boring and the level is really annoying to navigate

Literally came here to see if there was some better way because:

But seriously I love the rest, some really impressive work especially considering how little time was spent on it.

I had the exact same issue as above, love the concept of the game and had gotten the bug for every prior level but this one just feels so out of it, especially with the camera moving on its own and making everything 10x harder. Amazing game apart from this level though!
