About the Game

A programming puzzle game, but YOU CAN'T TYPE. Navigate and run pre-existing lines of code to make your output match the goal! Watch out for bugs eating away your code!

Each level of You Are The Code consists of prewritten code. You get to choose which lines to run in order to match the desired output. Each time you move up or down a line, the bugs will advance and try to erase your code! In some cases, maybe that's not such a bad thing...

Placed in the top 2% of the GMTK 2023 Game Jam out of 6700 entries!
