No way!! Your mechanic of dying and using your corpse to help you progress is similar to mine but I use tombstones instead. Anyways your game was amazing. Some levels took me embarrassingly long to work out. For example the level where I needed to cause a chain reaction of explosions to destroy the metal blocks. But I eventually figured it out in the end. The movement controller felt great too. Overall very fun and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done!!
Yeah, there are also some games with similar game mechanic. Looks like that was the only part, our games had in common. Thanks for playing the game.
Yeah you're right. Having played a couple more submissions I have just realised that the the game mechanic of your using your corpse/tombstone is a lot more common than I thought LOL.
Perfect job there, amazing from a single dev. Well done, I loved it !
Nice game, I liked it.
Thank you for the game. Was fun to play.
cool game , I had a lot of fun playing !
Such a good idea. Cute and I liked that it had all kind of different levels. And not every level having the same obstacles and platform like puzzles. Well done!
I do love a good puzzle platformer and this is a really good one, great submission
Nice feel of platforming and cute art
Nice game with nice puzzles. Maybe add a max number of deaths per level. It would up the stakes a bit
I might add lives on the future if I implement a high score system, but other than that I don't really have a use for that. But thanks for the feedback.
Very well themed mechanic with well designed puzzles, what else can we ask for :-) It could have a timer or something, as you can't really lose the stakes were not very high. The graphics and music were very nice, congrats for the entry!
I wanted the game to be simple and low in scope. Although having timer can make the game challenging, it will take away from the game being a simple and fun game with some thinking required. But I do appreciate the feed backs, thanks.
nice game mechanics, lovely characters.
This is a great! I really liked the puzzles and the humor in it as well. I think there was a perfect mix of platforming alongside the puzzle gameplay. Great work with this!
Cool puzzles! I liked the one forcing the player to use chain reaction explosions
Very cute and creative. Love the bad puns
Awesome level design, some of them were challenging and forced you to think. I had a good time playing, good job!
hey,
very good and cute gameart! Love the pixelart a lot.
The game was very fun and i had a very good time while playing it.
a very good entry to the jam !
You put together some cool scenarios to use the abilities you created. In particular I liked the part where you had to cause a chain reaction of shadow explosions to destroy some crates to proceed. Awesome job!
Congrats on completing the jam! I liked your take on not only leaving bodies behind but also exploding them! I found the SFX very loud - a volume slider would be an amazing addition.
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed the game.
As for the volume slider, I will add it after the game jam ends, could not finish that in time. I am planning in making some UI adjustment and bug fixes but nothing major.
Nice game. The WebGL sometimes didn't let me do the jump after walking over the edge. But good work overall. The propeller platforms I think could be a bit slower on the drop.
Yeah, thanks for the feed back. I will add a delay on the drop after the game jam ends. And as for the webgl issue, I am not sure about that, I never had that one before. Actually, the game will only let you jump after dropping from the platform if you jump within a fraction of seconds which is an intended feature so it might not be a webgl issue.
This is a very polished game. The graphics are nice. The controller for the player character feels real nice. The mechanics work very well. Great Job.
