I've never seen anyone taking 'playing with code' so littural. As a programmer, it's a funny concept. I actually played it for pretty long, so it was pretty engaging. The only things I kinda missed were a concept of dying (losing HP didn't seem like much of a problem) and a concept of score. Also the levels were a bit same-y and a bit more randomness would have been nice. But other than that, cool weapons, cool boss battles, and a nice general style.
A really good implementation of a programming loop as the basis for a game. I enjoyed how it looked like I was travelling through the lines of code that make up the game but it was a little bit annoying that you could very easily get surrounded by enemies as they could travel through walls. Well done on a good game!
Great idea, the boss is pretty cool, but the enemy patterns make the game really hard.
An original platformer, I like it! The movement of the boss reminded me alot of "Master Hand" in Smash. Did you take any inspiration from that?
Those semicolons have absolutely no chill 0.0
Despite its simplicity this game has quite a lot of character, between its aesthetics (please tell me the code lines are sampled from the game's own source code) and the gameplay (switching between the forms puts a twist on the basic platformer experience).
I found myself getting stuck on walls a little but that is a pretty minor issue, and it's generally possible to get out of it with weapon recoil. Overall a really nice job.
I think the concept is really solid, there was just a bit of a fun factor missing. I completed the first two bosses, but the lack of variety of enemies and path on the way to the boss meant I didn't continue.
Stylistically I think it's great idea, it looks good and the game is solid; I didn't find any issues or bugs. However it's just not one I'd come back to play, unless they add some more interesting dynamics.
Really cool take on the theme, done well and fun to play!
