I've been trying to beat level 4 with the bug for a long time. I just can't figure it out!
A cryptic puzzle game about being a bad coder. Also ducks. · By
Hey! This is actually a new level and I'm already wanting to take it out, it's not the best puzzle. Basically rotating the camera left scales the duck down, right scales up. You have to make the duck small and push it under the gap. Then you scale it up and walk over it to get to the folder.
Happy to spoil this since as I said, it sucks and I'm replacing it :D
I'm a game programmer and I figured this level out after analyzing the code hint. Shame you're replacing it, I think it could work with a better hint. The hint is legible to a programmer, but it doesn't read like a "sentence" as well as some of the other hints.
I'll admit it was annoying how much you have to rotate the camera, a mouse sensitivity setting would help with that part.
I really like the way you get the bug in this level, by scaling up the duck to move a block. Are you planning to preserve the concept of scaling the duck up and down? Perhaps use a different method to scale the duck?
For me duck kept either falling through the bottom or being too big to fit, spent some time to get it just right. Maybe put floor under the gap? Also, why is the left gap narrower than the right one on the way to the exit? thought it had something to do with the solution before noticing the duck changing size.

So this isn't actually the intended way of doing it. I put the floor gap there to stop people trying to do it this way :D So yeah there's a different solution.
