i really like this! the movement felt very fluid and unique, and the art matched the story and atmosphere really well. i think the lagging was a bit too much and it gave me a bit of a headache, but i think if it happened at predetermined times like the end of the tutorial, beginning of a level, etc it would work really well and wouldn't interrupt gameplay as much.

Developer

thank you so much! sorry about the lag, we’ll def look into that in our post-jam remake:)

I always like the bug focused narratives, I think it’s a very interesting theme on video games. I also agree with previous comment that the lag spikes where a little too annoying, otherwise very good job

Developer(+1)

We're glad you liked the narrative! We'll be sure to try to lessen the amount of lag spikes in a post game jam remake!

Very creative game, its fun to play like those arcade games you can play for hours without getting bored, the narration was really good, the only thing was that the lag that was really cool at the start got kind of annoying at the end. But I really liked your game man!

what a compliment! thank you!! lag spikes are definitely annoying, we’ll make sure to fix that in post jam updates hahaha

I really liked the game, the narration was funny and the game was very fun. my only criticism would be to reduce the frequency of the lag spikes. Interested to see the content that is locked behind the bugs. 

Developer

It's crazy to hear what an insane good luck charm playing this game is from other totally unaffiliated spectators like myself- personally after I played this game I found out the mayor (of the world) is gifting me the key to the city (Earth??) But seriously, great job- Absolutely loved the visuals and the movement but really satisying to play through. Great work!

This game changed my life, my wife divorced me and parents were killed. I played this game and BOOM! My life turned around 180! I'm now the president (of the world) and I'm still depressed but I have a little spark left in my life.
