A really theme related mechanic implemented with nice graphics and music. All wrapped in good puzzles makes for a great entry! Congrats!

Nice puzzle platformer. I do feel the colliders on some of the hazards are a bit big making it feel unfair at times. But a great game non the less

Zombie RunGreat theme adaptation. It was fun and it was difficult too. I liked there were a lot of levels!

Soul GuardianPlayed and rated. Great little game!
Had lots of fun challenging myself to beat the levels. The tombstone mechanic is very well thought of, it's instant and we have to properly use it to beat the level, the theme is portrayed well.
I found the level with many lasers pretty hard to beat! Overall great work for this gamejam :)
Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy

Rise of NecromancyAwesome mechanics! Very intuitive and introduced very well and fits really well with the theme. The way my game went it was as if Gus was trying his darndest to get into the afterlife and I was tasked with stopping him from doing so until the time was right so I could complete the puzzle ahaha!

GhostmanThe game seems fun, but for the life of me I couldn't get past level 3.
When alive the dude can't jump high enough to reach the door after pushing the button at the bottom, the ghost form just falls through the boxes so I can't reach the door from the left side, and the tombstone will always spawn at the spikes on the bottom, so it can't be used as a stepping platform to reach the door!
I got stuck at that and after 10+ different tries I gave up. It would be nice to have some sort of hint in the level to help the player solve the puzzle if they keep dying with no progress.
I see all the screenshots and the comments other people have left and I feel I'm missing out on a lot of fun in this game. :(

Death's DriverI'm sorry to hear about your inconvenience and thank you for reporting it. However, I do not know what causes the issue, because on my machine is perfectly fine. I'm just theorizing, but could it be that you play on different resolution (mine is 1920x1080)? I cannot think about anything else. Anyway, thank you for your feedback, you made a really good point with the hints! I hope you enjoyed it after you discovered the solution for your problem! :)
Really nice job on the puzzles. The platforming elements were juuuust frustrating enough without making me mad haha. Good job!

The Mighty OakThis was awesome! I loved the mechanics, and the puzzles are well put together. Difficulty ramped up nicely without feeling cheap. Awesome game!
Submitted
Son of LazarusGreat puzzle platformer! Really pushed you to think a bit on each level. Didn't run into any bugs or any issues, perhaps a menu screen would be a good addition, but all in all a really good complete submission. Great job!

Alliance RebornLoved this game, it was really fun to play! I found it a little bit difficult but I didn't mind as it made me want to beat the levels even more. Well done!
Submitted
Duel of DeathGreat game but too difficult for me. I could not beat the level with those tons of lazers. I like the concept of dying to leave behind a platform/grave. I also have very similar mechanic in my game. Overall great job.

A Reaper's Job is ToughHey!
Awesome game. I had a lot of fun dying and trying to solve the puzzles! nice little switch on the buttons too :P From going from a click on to stay on to a must STAY on. Unless that was a bug? lol
But I enjoyed it! :D
Can you vote on my game too please? :)
