Making a game where you get sucked into your own (bad) code

I made a cryptic puzzle game in a week about a developer who gets sucked into their own code!
I was challenged by Logitech to make a game in 7 days and record the process in a Devlog. I LOVE GAME JAMS. I definitely want to do more short videos like this, maybe collaborate with some other indie game dev KZfaqrs, who knows! Really had fun on this one.
I took down my Patreon, for anyone looking for it. I want to have a better upload schedule before I ask for money again :) Thanks for all your support.

I finished the game with 5/10 bugs and my own ending, by walking off the white platform in meme folder level, where I expected kill box and respawn. "I have been falling for 30 minutes"😆 all I have left is an empty white void.
