Interesting! I passed the game but only find 8/9 bugs. Is there anything hidden?

Interesting games. Although tortured to collapse by so-called bugs. I love it.

Really interesting concept. Graphics and audio are good. I honestly found it a little jarring at first to be pulled out of the game and thrown back to the beginning with no warning. But once you found the bugs, it was easy enough to avoid them.

It's quite an interesting game! Trying to play an untested game, and trying to find the bugs were cool. Even minor details such as the volume and the sfx were fully into the gig. The game was quite punishing though. The maps were also just squares, which could be changed. Overall, cool game.

Oh, jeez, this game crashed me! I like it and I hate it at the same time :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Great game, especially the visuals

Nice game with a simple gameplay. I enjoyed it!

Great idea! Really like start menu :)

Windows Defender says the game application is a trojan threat. :worried:

Really a good game! It's a bit annoying to start again when you forget to reload but it's really fun!

@gamepopper You can also open the .bat file to launch the game.

gamepopper 2021-10-05 16:09

Okay, so the batch file worked fine. Like the idea, although it was awkward moving and then pressing R to reload. The "bugs" were funny to encounter though!

Interesting theme interpretation :slight_smile: It gets a little bit too hectic at the end of the game, but after some time I've finally managed to beat it!

This game is sooooooooo fun to play with! I nearly rage quit for taking the health item when I am full health and trigger the bug. I have imagined someone will design bugs as features and declaimed them as "Unstable." But so far, this is the most interesting one I have ever played in this LD. Excellent Job!

:joy: I was actually about to comment saying I'm getting loads of errors and I can't play it like dodge isn't defined etc... Turns out its part of the game :joy: took me a minute. nice work!

Love the meta. Although I thought I could get a dodge if I make a player_dodge.png which apparently isn't a thing. :laughing: Not sure if the sound effect is sparse or it is just missing despite the fact that the "option" menu having a sfx slider. Anyway, the game still feels surprisingly complete even though it is supposed to be "unstable". Would love to see a full game with this.

Congratulations, the game is very fun and the main idea is very interesting ! One of the best entries I saw on this jam :wink:

Really nice game! Level 10 kicked my butt for a while! If I had to critique, I think it would have improved the UX if there was a visual indicator when a reload is complete on the character (like, a battery indicator on the gun) or an audio indicator.

I liked the fact that hearts were dangerous when you are on full health, I thought that was the coolest aspect of the concept!

7/9 bugs discovered.
