| | Introduction | |
| | Use the fully destructible environment to your advantage to save the city from bugs in many different game modes! This game is the winner of the Game Connect: Asia Pacific 2008 Best Unsigned Game award. Created as our final project at college in a team consisting of four artists, two programmers, and an assistant programmer.

| | BloxED | |
| | BloxED is the editor used to create levels for Debug. Over 80% of BloxED code was written by me, which is everything excluding the tile editor and some of the initialisation logic.
- TileEd - place down multiple levels of tiles to construct the basic terrain.
- Blox - construct buildings, export and import entire sets of buildings.
- Special Entities - place down the starting and ending position, and other configurable entities that don't fit anywhere else.
- Waypoints - place down waypoints and routes to guide the pathfinding system.
- 3D mode - decorate the level with various 3D objects.

| | AI Test | |
| | AI Test was a prototype written by me of how the bugs in-game would behave. A lot of the bug behaviour was diluted when it reached the actual game due to issues with the game's design.
- Place players, swarms, bugs, and obstacles to create a map.
- Swarms path find their way to the nearest player.
- Bugs avoid each other and have random behaviour, and can temporarily fear the moving envrionment.
- A player or a piece of the environment can be controller by the keyboard.
- The player can shoot the bugs, each other, and break walls into smaller blocks.
