one of the best game made in this jam I have played so far, the design the concept the polishing is top notch, and it also matches the theme very well (dying is not real).

Thank you!

That was a longer game than I expected, super polished platformer. Nice concept and level design, especially I really liked the segment of finding the right spike to die, clever use of checkpoints and glitched blocks. Also graphics for background and visual effects when glitched were satisfying to look at.

The bossfight had a lot of great effects too, but not a big fan of gameplay since the player can't hit the boss until it uses the specific pattern, making it luck-based. It wasn't really a big problem since player had a lot of health, but I would suggest making more deal chances for the boss.

Hope this gets more attention, great job :D

It is super fun. The purple spike are amazing and used greatly, the red spike is great as well. The box tile, the rainbow tile, checkpoint use, and fake mode effect are amazing in the level design. The boss is intense, a small chance of purple spike and some unavoidable damage, making the player feel powerful when beating the boss. Underrated excellent work.

I had a lot of fun! The twist where you turn fake to get through was like a timed challenge each time and it felt thrilling to try to get through within the time limit! The boss fight was very fun too! It was like a crazy bullet hell towards the end but I survived! Very fun and well designed! Great job!

Really fun! Loved the art and the background, and the main mechanic was really clever!

Awesome job, didn't expect a ton from the cover art but it turned out to be a very nicely polished platformer! I was surprised at the size of the level and I don't think I ended up exploring everything.

The fight at the end was great fun but not sure if I could have failed it or not. The boss animations and firing felt very nice.
Your sound effects were great as well, nice and retro. Also the glitch effect was pretty cool
