One initial realisation that nearly stopped me with this idea was that the player being visually incorrect would likely result in annoyance with your hitbox not matching your sprite. So, with this game, I added a system whereby the player can check their hitbox by pressing 'Shift'. This was a modular system which was referring to the size of the actual collider in Unity, and then setting a sliced sprite rectangle to be the same size.

Initially, the game started by looking very normal, this change can even be seen in the fake-out main menu of 'Normal Farming Game'. But, after playing around with the 'Convolution Matrix' on Aseprite, I managed to warp all the art to adopt a greenish-pink style which I felt was retro and indicative of the 'buggy' nature of the game. The game was almost entirely shades of green and pink, except for the use of red in order to stand out and represent errors to the player!

I had to create a simple UI, that would show to the player in a simple but stylistic way, that their sprite was incorrect. Some players may not be familiar with the term 'sprite', so I also referred to this as an 'image' error. Due to this being a project on my own, I had the challenge and worry of players not understanding such a concept. I had no access to playtesters, and had to hope that people would understand the concept through only the clarity of the UI, and the beginning instruction of 'Fix the Sprite of your Character!'

This game is significantly lacking in levels & content due to the minimal time that I had. However, I spent a good amount of time getting the levels I had to be just right. I ensured the player would be taught that they aren't always a person, the player visually looks like a cow to begin with to get the player familiar with this. Levels also show various objects to the player along the way, some are red herrings and are used to fool the player. They must check their hitbox and compare it with other objects to find the correct one.
