I had a great time playing your game! Your work is fantastic. The game mechanics and level design were very creative and perfectly aligned with the Game Jam's theme. The art style and overall aesthetic were also very cohesive. Rating your game was a lot of fun, feel free to rate mine if you'd like!

Nice work!

Love the aesthetic. Super cute. Touching yourself to turn into a statue is such a cool mechanic, then using your golden statue corpses to get around is great. Animations are chefs kiss. Very juicy, especially jumping. Instruction cloud is great to get acclimated. Like how there's different ways of dying. Deja vu integration is perfect. I did have to bail eventually on the laser level. I think my jumping skills just aren't up to par, as I'm not great at platformers. When trying to push the cart over and also avoid the lasers, I just couldn't quite do it, so had to quit after....ten tries?

The only thing I found annoying was the "fooled" death - for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what was different in the statues, etc, and found myself checking everything in a paranoid state.

That was amazing! Those spring mechanics probably took a year off my life, though.

The main game mechanics feel quite polished - the visuals, effects, and audio add quite a bit to the overall experience. I got stuck on the fourth level and couldn't figure out how to progress, but that maybe just a me issue. 

I did find two bugs, I paused the game it didn't pause the actual game but the pause menu popped up, and when I un-paused the game the game paused itself, so I could only play the game when the pause menu was open (This happened only once for me). Also the death counter at the death screen showing the different ways you can die bugged out for me and started to only display 0.

Overall loved the concept, a very nice puzzle game which ties with the narrative!

I am glad you liked it! Thank you for informing me about the bugs- and indeed, quite some people found the fourth level quite complicated, so Im considering "nerfing" it a bit. Thank you for the feedback!

Developer

Oh, when I'm home I will make sure to rate your game, friend!

This game was amazing! It's so polished for the time given during the jam and it has all: the gold, the deja-vu and the relentless deceiving the player :D 
I saw the dev doesn't want to spoil the point so I won't either but as soon as I reached the room with the painting I was full raging for all the tricks that flew over my head... you really have to pay attention in this game ahah! 
I loved it, good luck for the Jam!

Good gameplay, good game art. However even you respect the themes very well, I don't see what make this game an April Fool.

Developer

Yea, I think it's not well explicited, maybe I will make a update today that fixes that- I wish I could explain, but Im afraid that would spoil the whole point  of April Fools ^^"
