A downloadable game for Windows

[ACTUAL DEV NOTE: due to an (unintended!) bug, the character can only be controlled if you unplug all your gamepad devices and use the keyboard. This bug will soon be fixed in an upcoming update!]

PUSH #13
- Base game structure implemented; this game will be SO polished!

Play as a QA tester and hack jump through levels in The Bugger, the 2D platformer where game bugs are actually features!

Play the Game, or Play YOUR Game

Challenge yourself through classic precision platforming, OR find your way through bugs and exploits to reach the flagpole.
There is no official solution: if you reach the flagpole, you win.

Read the Devlogs

A terminal will be ready for you to consult at the beginning of every level.
These devs left cryptic logs and it's up to you to understand how the potential bugs work!

Features

  • Bugs that are features
  • Bugs that are not features (hopefully none left)
  • [NaN] levels built around precision platforming and bug hunting
  • Simple controls (movement + jump), not so simple solutions

Keyboard Controls

  • Movement: WASD
  • Jump: Spacebar
  • Pause: ESC
