Controller is strongly recommended. Does not support mouse, and keyboard controls are scuffed.

This is my submission for the November 2024 ShroomJam, whose theme was "corruptions." In this short puzzle game, you try to enter the letters for passcodes by extracting characters from a number, shown in multiple number bases.

Due to time constraints, most of the puzzles are a first draft, and feel like it. The concept of changing one value between different types has been an idea I wanted to explore for a bit now, and I had the opportunity here--corrupting data by tearing out characters from it. One day I'd like to return to this and do it better justice.

All music used was created by PolarChips, who graciously allows use of his music with credit. I've been following him for a few years now, and hope more people discover his music through this game.

11/24/2024 changes:

• Edited one sound effect to remove a high-pitched noise at the end of it playing.
• Added the font used to the credits on the main menu.
• Added downloadable EXE. The only difference is this version has an exit button.
