Really cool idea - especially the review screen at the end. Playtesting a broken game like that is surprisingly fun. Might have been a good idea to tell the player the objective at the beginning of the game a bit more clearly. "You have 3 minutes to find all bugs." and go and then just let me playtest for a bit. A run can end a bit too quickly when walking to the left for example. If not that then at least a way to restart the game from the review screen would have been great. Overall a super fun and enjoyable idea. Had a very good time with it. :)
Thanks Jonas :) I managed badly my time and at the middle of it I was "yes... hmm it gonna be a not too great experiment, I not gonna make it" but I did and I am proud for this and for the fun I had making it. Unfortunately not that proud for the overall game itself.
Thanks for the gamejam itself, for the time you pass helping everybody and for your precious feedback :)
See you !
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWIIIIE !
Pretty fun game! Good classic touch here. Some squashed bugs after death would be nice to see.
The quiz at the end was a really good a idea... i had to play it three times to find all correct answers.
Nice job you did there.
PS: if you have any time check on my game too
The quiz is a super awesome idea! Checking for comprehension ~ Great job submitting a game for the jam, pls check out mine if you can.
Wait, the bugs seem to be random? That's actually better than I had expected! Now, I agree with the points made by Believing Gamedev. You often don't make it to the end of the level, so than there's no way of knowing all of the answers (not that it matters, since the result is always 3/6). Another issue is that there is no feedback in the results tab, you don't even display which answer I've selected for each question.
Indeed they are : Music, Sfx, Clouds, Sky, Platform, Ennemies, Holes, Coins and Start/End transparent Walls can be Not Bugged / Low Bugged / Medium Bugged or Highly Bugged !
The problem is that I did not have too much time for the jam so I implement quite a complex generating machine for a not too great/complex experiment ^^"
The quizz at the end should not be like this but I did not have that much time left !
Hey nice game, the player looks italian :-) Maybe the game could win some charm if I woud not have to restart the game after each round (witch alt f4 and reclick on exe :-P)
:D cool bootleg mario game and nice idea with the quiz/bug report at the end!
Nice little game!! Love the music and sound effects.
The intro song is so goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
Oh my god, you killed me with the video ahahah.
I register the last day in something like 5 minutes and I had a lot of fun.
Please remember, I heard it a bajillion of times and my only neurones left are not that much
Super original idea! Having to find the bugs is really interesting, well done! :D
Very creative game and super funny hahaha :3 Good job
Cool game, very intuitive :)

Nice. I love the "Mario music" :D
Love it,
couldn't remember the answer for the quizz at the end tho lol
That sound....
"Gastoooooon.... Gastoooon.... Gastoooooon" ahhaha I love it
Great idea. Nice sounds and the bug report at the end is funny :D
Nice concept, great art! I just recommend you making the level bigger next time ;D
Super nice concept!
A very funny game , the audio is amazing , the game is very meta one thing i would change is that you don't know what you selected when you are telling if you found bugs.
The principle is simple, you are a Bug Finder and you are thrown in a standard SuperMarioBros-like randomly bugged (each new game comes with differents bugs) and you need to interact with as much things as possibles to note where there are bugs.
Once you are dead, you will have to send your analyse to developer and you will get a result depending on if you saw the bugs and did not invent ones (indeed the result will always be 3/6 due to the lack of time).
A 1.2 level would be another ''well-known-game-like" (tetris, minecraft, zelda, ...) where other bugs are inserted and so on.
This was my first jam and I was alone on this one from scratch and I finish it at 3am ahaha : 1st day on the ideas as I did not have the opportunity to code. 2nd day coding some hours and drawing assets. 3rd day rushing code, music and finally publishing the game !
