A Bug In The Code

Overview:

You are a small, lowly part of a computer system. Your job, day in and day out, is to execute pre-determined programs by connecting electron beams to their targets.

This is your life: Solving the same identical programs for eternity. 

...Or is there a way to break free? Perhaps if you could short out the programs by forcing them into infinite loops...

A Bug In The Code is a puzzle game where you rearrange blocks, re-direct lasers, and defy your all-seeing system overlord. Each puzzle can be solved in one of two ways: The easy way that satisfies your programming, or the hard way that destroys the system itself. The actions you take unlock new dialog as you progress.

Controls:

• Move with W,A,S,D
• Blocks can be pushed
• Blocks can be rotated by clicking on them while next to them (or facing them and pressing R)

Notes:

• Created for GMTK Game Jam 2025.
• Music and SFX are from assets packs, I did not create them.
• Some of the VFX particles are also from an asset pack. The rest of the art is mine.
