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!

Already played the game and loved it :)
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!
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.
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 :(
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.
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 :)
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.
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 :)
Good controls! I liked the game a lot. So much frustration haha.
Some critical feedback:
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 :)
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!
Thanks for the feedback - it brought a smile to my face :)
The controls feel confortable, I like the humor in your cut scene, cute art style !
I encournter a sneaky platform that disapeared when I respawned xD but overall I had a good fun playing your game !
cheers
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 :)
Interesting concept and levels xD I liked the feel of the jumps and movement a lot as well. Good work on the game <3
it is funny. Good job.
Great game! Hard, but great and funny :)
I really enjoyed this, the cutscenes are hilarious!
Really liked this! The dialogue, graphics and audio were all great! Good controls, the only issue was that sometimes if i was too far on the edge of the platform, my jump wouldn't reset. Great job!
