Cool way to fit the theme!
Very cool game! I was really impressed with the shifting feature and the story was intriguing. If I had to give criticism id say maybe add music to it to set atmosphere. Could even bug the music out in the shifted world?
I wanted to add audio unfortunately it was too late and I was too tired to work on Audio😂
but if I plan to do something after the jam ends, it's adding audio to the game. I also wanted to add some polish or camera effects for getting into and out of the "code" world but working shaders isn't my strongest suits 😂
The story is cool and the twist is great. Its cool that its nod a long game.
This was a really cool idea and I love games when it turns out you're the "bad guy." I also like that you're killing bugs which resemble bugs in the code in order to fix the world. Great job :)
Cool game, I like the story and the glitch effects are nicely done!
Maybe you could add that you have to press space to progress the dialog, I was stuck for a minute because I thought it had to be one of the controls you listed.
oh, forgot to say Space was also an input 😂
I was super sleep deprived and forgot all about it while doing the itch page😂😂
I totally feel you 😂. Sleep and gamejams don't go well together
It is a very interesting game and it was a lot of fun.
It's a fun idea and the graphics are whimsical. Somehow, I was always jumping, without pressing any button, is this intended?
I liked how there was a little story, and the first time you enter the matrix was a cool surprise.
I had fun.
"It's not a bug it's a feature"😂
It wasn't really intentional but the entire basis is that the game is buggy and was left aside so maybe it could be?😂
space key moves forward the dialogue but is also a jump button which is why you jump after every dialogue, but not sure if there were other bugs that had the player jump randomly😂
