Who doesn't love games which represent ~~hell~~ debugging. Pace is good and the tune is decent (if a little repetetive after a while), and it's pretty engaging and challenging. Would say that a little more diversity in the gameplay could go a long way, maybe different minigames for each action. All in all had quite a fun time with it!

Really cool game :-) Story strikes a bit too much home but overall really cool game loop and use of given theme :D One thing that I would love to see is info on how much reputation you gain by heal :D While fighting "Dead code" it looked like almost nothing, and not knowing how much reputation I have overall and how much I gain makes decision process a little but fuzzy :D

"We shifted the timeline to tomorrow" Relatable

Game feels like im fighting real bugs, even though i encountered one of your game when i got stuck after attacking :D Feels even more real now.

Audio fits the computer theme and art too.

Overall well put together

@tomas-selmeci I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Do you know what caused you to get stuck after attacking?

@sebhulhu I feel silly for overlooking this (in hindsight rather obvious) Design flaw haha, thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to add it in future projects :thumbsup_tone1:

I really like the game concept but I feel like some balancing is needed to improve the overall game experience. It's really hard to recover reputation (Does the heal button do anything at all?) which is why I was unable to get past the "dead code". Or maybe I'm just bad :joy:
