Bug Catcher is a lost creature collector game from the late 90s. Thanks to a dedicated team, the game has been decompiled to run on modern computers, but it's still very unfinished.

You'll need to rearrange the code in each level to catch all the Buggies, and sometimes create some bugs of your own.

and just like with real coding, sometimes the solution was actually really simple and i was just massively overthinking it :D

also like with real coding, i figure out the solution and then wonder why in the world that worked

(i love this game)

Lovely puzzle game, had a bit of trouble with Dogbug and Indexoob but that just made beating that much better :D

Wow! The code altering puzzle battle was so much fun!
I'm not that good with codes, but I was able to finish the game because of the careful learning of each battle!
Also, I liked the fact that the enemy characters are different in each battle, which increases my motivation for the code battles due to my curiosity about what kind of enemies will appear (although I could have fought all the enemies from the beginning).
I especially like Dango, meow~! 🍡

I think it took me like 40min to beat OOB. Figuring out which number to increase got me for so long
