You know the pain when a software you're using crashes. Did you know, that around the world, every ten seconds, a programmer somewhere finds a new bug?
In this game, you can play the role of a programmer fighting the bugs in their creation.

Very addictive clicker game!

Except for the fact that I also make bugs, this game is very similar to my daily life.

The game GUI is very similar to dear imgui, and the window that pops up reminds me of windows 98 or xp.
I was relieved to discover that I wasn't the only one using SDL and OpenGL for this game jam.

Anyway, my high score is way lower than 01edward01.

Well, in fact we're using Dear ImGui here (it helped fix my fear of GUI in games

Simple but easy to click through, I would have liked seeing some more variants of windows where it is harder to differentiate the bugs from normal popups. I don't see the theme of 10 seconds in here though, so I would love to hear what your intent behind it was as far as the theme goes!

This was fun for a bit but I agree with other comments that I wish it was trickier about not shooting the debug. After I realized I shouldn't shoot that, it was super easy to avoid shooting it in the future until I purposely shot it to end the game (the screen where a bunch of debugs came up at once made that quicker thankfully lol).

With that said, though, the concept is super fun and this was great in such a short amount of time. Plus yeah, I remember how awful it was squishing coding bugs :rofl: so I wish it was always done like this irl!

Beyond the time constraints of Ludum Dare, I can see you doing quite a bit to expand on this :smile:
