Hey, thanks! :)

I saw the assets on opengameart.com and I didn't know how I felt about the game but then I played it and wow was it creative. Check out my game if you get the chance I mean you are  a Caterpillar with a handgun what's not to like!?!

Really creative use of the topic! :D
I loved the moment the game first glitched out, the screen transitions were great! Some puzzles did feel a bit like trial and error, which felt frustrating at first. Backgrounds would have been good as well, although it's understandable that you have to cut stuff for game jams.

Developer

Hey Kadable, thanks for the feedback.

Very great idea! The boss was quite easy. I passed it on accident, but the other levels were great :D I like the main theme of this game. I would appreciate if you could check out my game too :)

Developer

The boss is really easy haha. Thx for feedback

I  really loved your sound effects and music! I do wish that the game had told me that "F" opens the developer menu since I just had to try every button and see which one worked, but otherwise this was a great game!

I liked how getting the item would cause a background screen to come up which basically let you edit the level. Had a few spots were it seemed like you had to know what changes to make… or the exact moment to trigger the editor to come up to actually get through the level.

with some polish, this could be expanded into a more complicated game.

This is a wonderful jam entry. The game is very much in the spirit of the theme and I love the "Developer UI Interface" that pops up. It reminds me of the Matrix. Good job on your entry

Developer

The game overall is pretty solid! The creativity and the topic are the strongest points of it, the art style is good and the music is decent, it's pretty fun and fits well the topic, I like it a lot!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind words :)

The art is nice (good choice) and the music is fitting, though the glitch sound isn't great. The idea is good, but in the backend it isn't obvious what part of the level will change when you press the toggle switch. I made it to the level after the spinning ladder, but then couldn't get to the exit before and after changing the backend.

Developer

Thanks for feedback, we thought about making the object shine when it was being changed, but there was no time, sorry  :,(
