Nice game, simple but clever idea.
Enjoyed getting rid of those bugs because I couldn't make that with my game 😎
There are some minor bugs but they are not a big deal. Btw poor princess but at least you are not the "hero" thats nice.
Great job mate.
it was a cute story actually, but I didn't wanna kill the princess :(
Great work! The pixel art is very cute!
I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^
Great Work, I Rated it!, can you help me with my jam entry?, It would really make my day if you rate mine too!
Thanks in advance!
Here's mine!!!: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1415313
That was funny, I liked playing in the Matrix ;)
Nice job
Really simple and efficiant game ! Love the story and the idea !
I was instantly hooked on the story. The way it was told was brilliant. Wonderful implementation of the theme on more than one level. And I loved realizing that i was killing bugs. :-) Very well done!
Really enjoyed it playing !!! Sometimes player got stucks otherwise its really fun awesome game ! All the best
Cool storytelling, and neat idea with killing the game bugs to fix things in the world. The only feedback I have is that the movement feels a little weird, especially the jumps. Good job, keep it up!
This would definitely be a fun Idea to expand on.
I really loved it ! The idea is great and fits very well with the theme and the narrative tone you gave the game ! Really great !
(It reminded me a little bit (only partially but I don't want to spoil any potential reader (narrative side not gameplay)) Life Goes On (Life Goes On: Done to Death)
Thanks for your work, I'd love to play the sequel if you keep evolving it ! <3
I love the shift-key mechanic - a really fun game!
Nice game about murdering cows.
Haha, the story and the bugged parts are great.
Really cool story! Glitching through the matrix was a really interesting intro setup for everything.
Wow, really fun and engaging story, there were some bugs but it was great. I would never guess the the end. Good job.
The story is fun and I really liked the Matrix effect. Nice job.
I liked it: the theme fitting and concept is impressive!
Good job c:
Very creative, I really liked the underworld scenes and shift mechanic -- nice work!
Really enjoyable game, the story and the mechanics are really really good. It would have been so nice if the game was longer, just to show off more of the mechanics (there could have been some interesting puzzles with that press-shift thing) and to develop a bit more the story. But in general you did a good job, nice!
