I liked the concept of needing to figure out the bugs in each room... I got stuck on the 404 screen unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a way past that level.

The music was pretty grating, the loop is short and kinda annoying. The graphics are pretty weak, but there's a charming aspect to them that fits with the idea of the game breaking down.

Very unique idea, I'd love to see more of it!

I was very amused by the 404 level, and had fun trying to figure out what are the specific bugs to exploit and go to the next level. However, I'm confused with the level with Morpheus (?) and the coathanger level, what were the bugs in there? Was I just supposed to skip through? Anyways, I saw the credits section of this game, and hats off to you for doing everything!

Glad you liked it! In the coat hanger level, there was a section in the top right corner that would let you go out of bounds. The other level was just like the 404 level, where you had to skip to the next level. The character was actually supposed to be like Agent Smith, not Morpheus ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh ok, good to know! Though in my defense, I've never watched the Matrix so I just took a shot in the dark.

Interesting weird game. I couldn't figure some levels so had to skip. I really liked that in one levels the controls are flipped and you discover it by experimenting. Nice ! 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. Glad you liked it!

I got stuck at the level with the door I couldn't reach (second level), how do you get there?

Developer

The trick is that you can jump infinitely, which is how you would get up there.

Interesting game! I couldn't figure out a bunch of the levels, but I'm glad the skip-level key exists! :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Quirky, but fun! I think it's really clever how you tied in the game with your animations from your YouTube channel. I like how the player has to work around various types of bugs to complete the levels.

I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get this to work on a Mac, but that's not your fault. Following the directions on https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/ worked for me.

Very weird game but I liked it. The weird photoshop at the end made me laugh. I'm happy you included a skip level button because I got completly stuck at the 404 level (was I supposed to skip?).

For other players: make sure to check the game page to see the controls because it doesn't get explained in the game.

Developer

Glad you liked it. Yes, you were supposed to skip the 404 level. I added that level just to incorporate the skip button. Sorry if it was confusing.
