Bugged Out
We've been hearing rumors something is wrong with this platformer...
Some of the platforms in this game have been bugging out recently... Crashing computers, exploding servers, players going crazy, it's all happened. We need your help to play through the game in order for us to see what's a glitch, what's a feature, and what's both. (Submitted for the Patch Notes 2025 Game Jam with the theme of The Error is the Feature)
Going in with just your quick thinking and exceptional logic, make it to the end of Bugged Out to become the smartest player in the world. Use WASD or the arrow keys and try to reach the portal to end each level. Don't hit the spikes!

Maybe a little unintentional glitch...
I can't see all of my screen. The bottom part is bugged out (no pun intended) and I can't scroll or go fullscreen.
Also might want to mention that it only runs at like 5 FPS.
Sorry for your problems. We haven't seen either of those glitches on any other computer so it is most likely your computer that is a little Bugged Out.
I'd believe that. Additionally, I won't judge you if you choose not to fix it. I've seen it before where it was a problem of Firefox handling the code differently than other browsers. Just making sure you're aware of the issue so you can choose to fix or warn people or whatever you choose to do with the information.
Yeah, we'll definitely try to improve this game, though it is for a game jam(so not for another 2 weeks)... Thanks for the feedback though! This is one of our first games and feedback definitely helps.
