How did you/your team interpret the theme?
Hero's died, sometimes, and during those times they need that redemption arc revival!

Wish I was able to spend more time on it :~: Overall really fun tho.

Beautiful interpretation of the theme.. i loved the idea that you are the one that goes and takes back the hero when they have to respawn..

Only thing is that I couldn't really move properly since it was too sensitive.

The art was good, good game!

interesting mechanic and good art.

nice game.

Short and sweet, the ghost mode mechanic is interesting and the controls are responsive as well

In a way, I actually kind of like how silent the game is, given the location. Really love the idea of a platformer with the phasing mechanic! Would be nice if the trees you have to phase through stood out more from the background ones. I actually guffawed at the hero's reveal. Best Art. A+

Nice game, well done!

Two favorite part here:

1. Art (colors, feel, etc.)

2. Rain sound. This is awesome idea to put into pixel game.

It was fun and well done.

This is my favourite game of this game jam so far. Simplistic look, great feeling movement and a fairly original idea. Really well done!

Submitted

I really like the concept and the small hint of comedy, amazing work!

Submitted

The game is really good! I also like that you added jokes. I think you should mark the objects that block your way though as I didn't always know if I can go through something or not. Everything is great though! Good job! And you even finished first! I don't know how you managed to do that.

Pretty good i like how the movement feels level 2s end part is harder than level 3
