The Anomaly
A downloadable game for Windows
This game is an asymmetrical multiplayer game where 4 players should survive and escape from a defective robot trying to kill the survivors. I managed to implement the theme 'bug' as a robot having an unexpected anomaly. The game is really simple and fast-paced(it has a time limit of 5 minutes).
I hope you enjoy this game(and hope the server works) and any feedback is welcome!

P.S.
It's my first time joining a jam and also my first time making such a large(to me it's large) program. So, I cannot say that the game is of good quality, but I will put significance on finishing making an online-playable game. Thanks :)
As it is rare for 5 people to play this game at the same time, you can instead run multiple clients to play-test this game.

I like the soundtrack :D
Sadly i cant seem to find enough players. But one time it put me in a lobby (i think that was a bug) and i saw a robot escaping some sort of cell? But then nothing happened.
So from what i read in the description seems like a nice game :P
Thanks for your interest :)
the lobby you said is actually an intro that starts to play at the start of a session. But, the server indeed has some bugs which should be handled soon.
