Nice Game! I really enjoyed the type of art style you used in the game and I enjoyed how the game connected to real life with the programmer and the designer. It was almost like we were apart of it some how which feels good as a player. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was the music, maybe make it a bit longer, besides that you did a great job!

Very simple game but still have good details! Easy to understand. Fits to the theme. Rated!

Don't forget to check my game and rating it, please.

I had a lot of fun with this! Easy and smooth to move the character around, and I like how you used that dialogue within the game to explain the jam theme to the player. It is a game that can actually stand alone on its own outside of the jam!

The difficulty progression is awesome, had fun being introduced to a new "bug" each level to keep it interesting and it was actually challenging to encounter them all at once, so it felt good when I finally beat it. Only suggestion I'd make is to change the exit portal to be more visible, I just baaarely saw it. White on yellow made it a little hard to see. Luckily when I finished a level all I had to do is kill myself and I'd respawn at the exit. lol!  But maybe a different colored exit with particle effects on the outer edge could be something to consider. 

Really great entry!!! Awesome work! :D

Thanks for the comment - means a lot - you're right about the portal and ill make sure to make important objects more visible in my future games :)

Played and rated! I really enjoyed. One of the best controls in this Jam! Concept is also so nice. But last stage made me angry haha, Well done!

Please, don't forget to play and rate my game, thank you!

thank you so much

I enjoyed the fourth wall break of planning for the Game Jam, but it actually detracts from the theme. If you had said the programmer has squashed all bugs, and then let the player figure out what was broken, it would have fit better. I also noticed that after a minute or two the bug simply stopped happening, more than likely to help the player finish a stage. Still, fun concept overall. Good job!

Submitted

Ok the last stage is frustrating but I had to make it to the end for my pride ahah

The idea for the game is funny, I liked that fourth wall break with the developers explaining what's going on in the game.

I didn't completely get how the "disappearing colors" stage works, it seems that after some time it stops working to actually make the game easier for the player.

Even if I think the idea is interesting the result is probably more frustrating then fun for the player.

Also I didn't get the theme of the jam in this game, the developers tell me what's going to happen and that's exactly what happens.

The graphics are nice, the music is fine but a bit repetitive.

Submitted

Good game !!! Jump is smooth and idea is great. Dialogue between design and programmer gives context to get more immersed in the game !!! Good job. 

In v4.0 it was really hard for me to take the last color on the top right :( 

Submitted

Awesome game! I liked how each version got progressively harder. It was confusing though that there was no end scene but instead brings you to version 3.0. Unless, if that wasn't the end and I didn't know.

Developer(+1)

There are 4 versions - the last version was all the bugs together - Maybe i should have made it more obvious - that's fine -  there is a final cut scene after v4 :)

Submitted

Fun Idea, a little but also a little bit frustrationg when all the bugs came together ;D

The game was fun, but I didn't really get the theme in it.

Submitted

Fun (and a little frustrating) game! Good concept/story, I liked the interplay of the designer/developer. The level where all the bugs happen at once was absolute mayhem haha. I like the graphics you applied to the 'glitch'. Nice work :)

Submitted

Good controls! I liked the game a lot. So much frustration haha.

Some critical feedback:

  1. Mouse disappearing in the main menu for WebGL  is disorienting. If they should use only keys, then there should be text for that.
  2. The art seems like a great follow-along from BTP. I've seen many learning developers try to emulate what he does from YouTube videos, but they rarely pull it off. I had to do a double-take of your username to make sure it wasn't one of his games! It is great that you did so, but maybe for the next jam, try to branch out and develop your own style! I actually give him that feedback for a lot of game jams since he tends to stick to his Edmund McMillen-inspired comfort zone. Push yourself into new styles! The art should support the gameplay. Don't slap the same artwork on every game.
  3. Confused what happens when I got all of the colors. I respawned a couple of times before it went to the next scene.

Overall, great job with your game! I loved the music and artwork.

Congrats on your entry!

Hi, thanks for the feedback, everything you said there was true. I did take inspiration from BTP and will try to branch out in my following games - at the moment i am not too good of an artist and emulating his art style seemed the easiest option for a game jam. Feedback is always appreciated :)

Submitted

The controls were amazing! The art was very fitting to the game! And it was pretty funny too, I laughed really hard in the CSS part xD!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback - it brought a smile to my face :)

Submitted

cheers

Submitted

I had so much fun! I couldn't get too far tho! lol I was laughing the whole time and also so frustrate jajaja! Good concept, great art, the music could be a bit better that's all, the game overall is fantastic. Really good work. I enjoy playing your game :)
