CodePatch

This was a game that I made for a university game jam during spring break in 2026.

The theme was "patchwork" and one of my ideas when I heard that was the theme was "*work*ing on *patch*ing bugs". Admittedly that was a little contrived, but I still tried making a game themed around that. The basic idea of this game is that you have to find patch files in a procedurally generated maze while avoiding various bug enemies. Once you beat a level, you can enter a store to trade in the points you earned (the game calls them 'bits' to keep with the computer programming theme) for various random upgrades. It's kind of a simple game - I actually started a little late and only spent four days developing it but I really do like the end result and I think it is decently fun to play.

After the jam I made a post jam update in which I addressed some feedback I got - namely that the game was too hard and frustrating at times.

You can browse the source code on GitHub.
