No Launch
Summon your minions and smash the bugs!
A funky autobattler + card game that put you in the role of a developer whose game can’t even launch when the jam submission deadline is just hours away! Sounds familiar?
Help him fix the game in time by squashing those bugs and glitches by playing cards, buffing your army of AI chatbots and making the best use of unexpected new bugs opportunities.
Some errors really do become features, embrace the chaos
Made for the Patch Notes v1.0 game jam in 3 days!
Known issues (Will be Patched)
Some errors has escaped the game and manifested IRL. Changes to the game file is currently prohibited so here are the pesky ones that you may want to know about:
- Web version may lag a bit when playing the game for the first time, but clears up afterwards. You may also want to try the desktop version.
- (Game-breaking) Clicking one time too many on the start button on the main menu crashes the game. Clicking only once is fine.
- In-game menus have overlap issues if you hover your cards over them, otherwise works fine.

very fun played it twice and the glitch happened both times. I liked the auto battling animation.
Soft lock in second turn of tutoriel
Unplayable just stops progerssing sometimes when last unit is gone and is softlocked...
I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate buggy experience. Our team is working on a post-jam update to fix those rare cases. Thank you for trying out the game.
-.- saying rare is a bit annoying it happened twice in a row and will probably happen every time i play.
I do dis like the whole no bug fixes during jams it feels very annoying and i have played a bunch of jam games that are just dead because of a bug that keeps them form playing right.
I sincerely apologize for that. We did know of the bug during the jam, but in our testing it happened rarely and while some players have encountered it too, most players have not, as you can see in our rating page, so we determined that it was low priority enough to ship as the jam deadline rapidly approached.
Please feel free to try the game again, or if you think the concept is interesting, please consider following the project or add the game to a collection to get updates on when the jam ends and a post-jam update is released. Thank you very much and my apologies again for your suboptimal experiences.
Got a run in its ok, feels very wonky and not much substance, but its a good base you could take it a lot of ways and make a great game still.
Nice game, btw the art of this game is very beautifull, congratulations!!
Thank you for playing and enjoying the game!
cant play it in Browser. Error Message appears because of some files missing
It’s very unfortunate that some bugs are not resolved in time for submission.
If you can tell us how to replicate the bug or take a screenshot of the error logs, that will be very helpful so we can investigate.
Another thing you can try is to use a different browser.
A fun hybrid with good execution! I like how things can get crazy very quickly if you make use of energy cap increases and refills. Lovely flavour too!
My one critic: the turn events (the conditions announced every turn on the red bar at the top) feel a bit unfair and can easily make a combo fall flat with bad RNG; sure, they can provide benefits, but it's hard to plan for them if they're fully random!
8/10 - super impressive for 3 days
Thank you for playing the game! Yeah the balance of the gameplay in the jam version is not very polished for sure but please keep giving us feedback so we can improve it in the future.
Btw, I noticed your username was familiar then I realized you worked on Project NOM for Brackeys alongside Cabage, who I worked with in this project! Thanks again for checking out this game.
Good game, i enjoyed playing it.
Thank you for enjoying it!
