Superb game idea !! Collect the Code. I only think that the speed of the code is either too fast or I am too slow, lol. But still Had a fun playing it....

Also request you to check out my game and rate it, Thanks.

Thanks for feedback.

Funny idea

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

The idea is very unusual.

Developer

Thanks, I suppose that is a good thing.

Submitted

A very fun game with a good context) For the implementation of the garbage collector and with # a separate like)

Developer

Thanks. Nice to hear that you had fun playing.

Submitted

You definitely checked your Garbage collector when you made this game. Well done, like the visuals!

Developer

Thanks for playing

Submitted

Original, well executed and fun to play game!

Developer

Thanks

Very original implementation of the theme !
Love the exceptions thrown when the bad code makes it to production :D

Also wish the code was a bit more legible. I tried making screenshots to see if the bad code was actually bad code, but most of them were illegible. Two I could read were a while(true) loop instantiating new objects and a constructor that constructs itself, so well done on the actual bad code implementations :D


Developer

Thanks for playing. You've got 2 of 5 bad codes. There were also other like calling function from null object and assigning wrong types.

Submitted

Nice theme approach!

Developer

Thanks. I had to think for a little bit to come with something original.

Submitted

very good idea, fun to play too.

Polished and fun! Some of the broken code were hard to see, but the error messages whenever I missed one is a nice detail.

Currently, this game is the best one ive seen so far. Really good interpretation of the theme, vibe, and gameplay. I think the only thing i would've improved would be to add more function for bouncing the good code, and making the movement feel a bit more smooth.

Developer

Thanks, I wanted to add powerups (maybe after x amount of bounces) but didn't have time. About the movement I thought that fast sharp movement would be more skillful.

This game is satisfying to play and is such a creative idea!  I love how the difficulty increases the more you get errors.

Nice to hear, that you liked this game.

First of all- I see what you did there :) Kudos for the c# reference. I almost wish, you went further with it. It could be that bouncing the red code would add a generation (like an actual .net GC). Nevertheless- I liked it! 

At first, one thing wasn't clear for me though. Since game displays both time and score, I wasn't sure which one I was going for.

Additional kudos for null references, when passing red code :)

Developer

Thanks for feedback, unfortunately I only briefly know how GC works (i have to dive more into this topic) so it was hard to make more references. About displays the time survived would add points to the overall score, but later I decided that time will only make the game progressively harder (with points multiplier) and forgot to delete the timer.

Submitted

Quite the idea! Nice game, just ran a bit choppy on my machine for some reason

Developer(+1)

Thanks, maybe that's because of post-processing. I wondered if I should add a button to toggle it on/off, but I didn't have enough time.

Submitted

I feel you, I was right up against the time with my game too

Submitted

Love your game and concept! Really well executed too!!

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

That was such a clever wll done idea! Even the concept makes me laugh, well done!


Please check out mine if you have the time!

Developer

Thanks for feedback. Of course I will check out your game
