Sir! I'd Like To Report A Bug!

⠀

[h1] Sir! I'd like to report a shovelware! Straight forward platformer that could've been much better but it's not. Feels very repetitive with nothing to hold you for a while. You have to figure out on which things you can jump. Music is a bit forgettable. Levels are boring to play. After each stage report new bugs so make sure to debug the whole game. Overall gameplay feels like a fart. [/h1]

Sir! I'd Like To Report A Bug! is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This platformer is fairly badly made, and features a weird "meta" theme where you play the role of a software tester and bugs from the software infest the world, so you have to spend a huuuge amount of time doing pointless platforming just to report the bugs in the real world, or whatever. I guess the most entertaining part about this game is the ironic factor of the game being about a game tester, when it's apparent very little in the way of testing took place during the weekend or so it took to make this Unity "platformer template reskin + bash out a few levels" job. The controls and game handling are notably very floaty and imprecise. Hitboxes for a lot of the platforms don't work properly, you can slip off them, and sometimes you'll be standing a few pixels over the visible surface of some of the platforms. It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed. Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing or polish done. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. The default Unity launcher gives you the option to change the resolution, but this doesn't actually work, as the developer overrides whatever you put in and chooses some resolution at random. There's no other useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music, you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer. This is obviously not okay and it's unclear why the developers chose not to include this basic feature. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. Sir! I'd Like To Report A Bug! has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for dying (certainly something that playing this game will inspire you to do), trivial to achieve, but less than 2 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch. Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show less than 2 percent of players bothered playing the game for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this game to have so many concurrent players who didn't bother to played the game? Trading cards. People will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game. That tells us people only really bought this game for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards. Sir! I'd Like To Report A Bug! is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

Bir oyun olarak pekte başarılı sayılmaz ama eğlenceli birkaç saat geçirilebilecek bir platform oyunu. Diğer yandan en karlı yanı ise oynadıkça düşen kartlarının oldukça karlı olması. :)

game plays like it's made by a 10 year old on summer break. stale memes everywhere! not that it's garbage, but it definitely isnt worth the full price, even if it's for sale on 75% off

YES SİR!!

Firts the music gave me brain cancer, then the gameplay fast forwaded it to stage 3. Furthermore, the main mechanic of the game is jumping and even that is terrible(gamepad is even worse), even the hitboxes are messed up. And I won't comment on the humor of the game nor the amount of bugs present in the game. I do not recommend the game, it is not enjoyable.

Осколками льда Зима пронзает сердце Но все еще жива Твоя надежда Она не умрет Но умирает душа Участь твоя Уже решена...

It's a very nice and funny game, if we must find a flaw, maybe the music is a bit too catchy.
