Controls felt really good. Sometimes I slipped from platforms though (I guess you use a capsule or sphere for a collider).

I really appreciate a settings menu where you can adjust sound volumes. Soundtrack was enjoyable to listen to.

Sometimes it wasn’t clear what to do with some objects (eg the arrow). I would also have added some additional respawn points so that you do not have to run through the entire level again to get where you ‘died’ last time.

Overall an enjoyable game with a cool concept and good controls.

Jogo muito bom, muito divertido! Cheguei a 11 mortes, mas não consegui achar a última.

Algumas ideias que acho que seria legal para melhorar: podia ter uma bandeira ou teletransporte na metade do nível que se você chegou nela não precisa fazer o ínicio de novo porque ficou repetitivo, podia ter dicas para as morte que você não achou na tela que mostra as mortes, podia ter uma tela com os controles porque em alguns momentos me perguntei se não tava conseguindo as mortes porque tava perdendo alguma mecânica de interação, podia ter um timer ou pontuação para incentivar jogar de novo. Como não consegui todas as morte não sei se isso já existe quando tu completa o jogo, mas podia também ter uma explicação para aquele inicio com o rato que ficou meio confuso a história do jogo.

Também achei um bug nas transições de tela, que se clicar "esc" na tela que mostra porque tu morreu, o jogo deixa continuar jogando no background.

Mas sério muito bom mesmo, parabéns pessoal. Ahh e a música tmb muito boa

Very fun game, has a lot of replayability and makes you want to see more! Love the music, the art and the humor too!

It made me play for a good while! I see potential there making the player look for tiny details to find the most obscure ways of dying :D

Congrats, it's simple yet very enjoyable, controls are great and the idea to have to find all the death make us play a few different times ! Good game !

Cool idea! I got stuck at 6 deaths and didn't really know what else to do. I think there was a beehive of some sort? To the left of the banana peel? Didn't know what to do with it. I wish I could have seen more. I liked the flavor text that tells you what happened when you tried to die! Very nice!
