The title alone was enough to make me check this out. Funny, and sadly a little relatable! I liked that the files moved into different folders between fights so it didn't get stale for the duration. The little jabs like "programmer forgot to implement" and "heavy_staff_final_final" also made me chuckle.

Very beautiful game! Enjoyed the experience in its entirety and was laughing at the results of the options chosen!
Got to the boss, but died due to not having (or finding?) Light axe attacks, haha. Very good theming, and hopefully people will learn from this that a good project file & folder structure is very important in projects!
Really unique concept and love the critique on filenames. Definitely a topic I can relate to. I think the game is really well balanced and a nice length for a jam.
the concept is unusual and interesting, I liked it!
sometimes it is a bit too vague which file does what exactly, maybe a bit more learning about that before the boss comes would be helpful :)
Clever concept! I got tripped up by the naming changes in the boss room, but I think with a better memory I coulda beet the boss.
very fun Idea! But sadly it afer a little while it becomes a bit tedious.
A fun take on the theme, my only wish would be for more information as to what each file did, and what constituted a bug. There were several times a file clearly didn't do what was intended (i.e. debug attacks), but didn't cause a bug.
nice take on the theme, but do any of the files do what the player wants the program to do? regardless, fun game
I was so confused and when I started to get it I had almost lost so I scaped by my first fight with 2 bugs and 10HP XD but the second fight was still too much for me...
Very fun concept!
Such a clever game. I may not be smart enough to grasp it, but I am sure it's great :D
