You live in a simulation, but the computer is on the fritz. With little hope for survival you make a run for the internet. Can you glitch your way out of the simulation?

You have limited control over your character. And although glitches can get you out of tricky situations, you never know what's going to happen. Everything given, can also be taken away. So be prepared for anything! The game won't tell you which glitches are active, so it's up to you to keep track of that.

There's no health in this game. You get impaled, you die. To ensure you got through the levels based on skill, you'll be set back one level when you die. So that when you die, you'll have to prove you finished the previous level through skill alone.

There are 5 glitches in total for you to discover.

This game is my submission for the GMTK GameJam 2020, and my first completed game in PICO-8. The code is a mess, the controls finicky, and missing a lot of other glitches I had hoped to implement, but hopefully it gives you an idea of what could've been.

The Games cool! The only problems I have with it though are that pressing X repetitively to get the glitch that you want to occur seems kind of unnecessary, the other thing is that the music repeats itself, which is fine normally but the music that you made is really short. Otherwise it's a great game! You did a great job!

i would love cartridge version, please ;)

I have been working on removing some bugs, and polishing it. So stay tuned. :)

nice
