Nice game! loved the mechanic and the visuals, the gameplay felt really smooth and I really liked the puzzles, good job!

Submitted

really cool game , interesting take on the theme, mechanics and game play were well done

fun little game !

Submitted

Awesome! This mechanic worked out really well, and is perfect for the theme!

Submitted

Fab idea, love the concept! We worked on a similar concept but with yours only having the one head at a time gave it that extra challenge and level of frustration if you died halfway through the puzzle. Great work and love the way it looks too!

Submitted

Nice idea! I liked the idea of dying in just the right place - makes for an interesting platform puzzler.

Submitted

The game was very fun and the puzzles were very creative. I love the idea of not only using your dead body as a platform but being able to interact with it as well and move it. It became a little frustrating if I died later in the level to have to go back and do the puzzle again. It was one of my favorite games that I've played so far. Very fun!

Submitted

I like the use of the theme and the use of your head as a platform was quite a creative mechanic. The game was quite fun even though I got myself clipped into one of the doors once.

Submitted

The mechanic isn't new itself and you could find  several games with the  "body is used as steppenstone", BUT! what really makes the game involving is really good level design!  The game does not  lose in dynamics at all becouse of how optimised levels space is. Also new mechanics introductions are well done, so you  feel enthusiastic after each level.


The game looks really polished. Also the art is really nice, good palette really makes scenes look alive.

Submitted

Well done! Happy you were able to submit such a complete game given your busy time traveling. It turned out pretty good!

I really liked the core concept here, and limiting the number of heads you can leave behind to just one gave you some interesting design space. There are plenty of games about "self destructing to leave a platform" or something, but this one stands out. 

I think the levels just needed a little more tuning. I couldn't get past level 4 or 5 because I needed to push a body off a ledge but it kept getting stuck in a corner because the space was too small. Still good and I enjoyed my time.

Congrats on finishing!

Submitted

Very clever idea, I like the different puzzles you had in the levels. Unfortunately, I got stuck in a door in one of the levels and couldn't get out (screenshot below).

Very cool interpretation of the theme as well!


Submitted

I like how you co-operated the theme into the gameplay. Nice puzzles. It's funny how this game is similar to the one I made. I guess sometimes, game developers think alike. Overall, great game and very creative. 

Submitted

Rated! very funny! But I died, multiple times hohoh

Submitted

Wow! Great submit! I love the mechanic. Creative mind, thumbs up++ :)

Submitted

This is not a charity-comment. I truly enjoyed the puzzles and mechanic. Hats of to you! *bows

Submitted

This is great! The puzzles were really well done. I love puzzle games so this really scratched an itch I didn't realize I had. Only wish there were more levels!

Submitted

Wow that was really cool for cobbled together, you have done puzzle platformers before?

Love the setting and style brought back old Amiga memories.

Submitted

Oh I did have one note - after start screen should hide the mouse ;)

Submitted

Great Idea! 

Submitted

I'm a fan, one of my favourite games so far. Not sure if you know of an old game "Rick Dangerous" but it gave me that vibe.

Submitted

I hope you make time to explore this more and add some cool story moment for why there can only be just one dead body there. Well executed and nice puzzles. I definitely want to see more!

Submitted

nice puzzle platforming game. I wish the head didn't make the player slid off like that because it make the game a lot harder to play. I suggest using different object and collision shape for the head so it's easier to play.
