loved this idea but having to restart every time you die can be a little frustrating, perhaps adding a lives system of some kind would get this game to perfect instead of merely amazing

Yeah, i know, we'll correct that in the future, glad you liked it !

Very interesting concept!   Tutorial & controls are just a bit confusing, but i figured it out.
Visuals are great,  platforming is satisfying - though, i feel like levels start a bit too slow, and something like "retry round" would be nice.
Cool!

I enjoyed playing it! At first I found it a bit confusing on what to do but I managed to figure it out. The thing I would change is the design of the UI since it doesn’t fit well with the rest of the game but all in all, Well Done!

Wow, I really like the concept!

You have to play both sides here, and remember not to screw yourself over too much since you'll have to do the opposite on the next run.

I feel like a slow-mo when placing the traps would be better since the scrolling is really fast, or maybe at least being told what trap you'll be able to place before the "evil" run begins, but apart from that loved the gameplay!

Visually, it has its style, I dig the forgotten forest vibe!

Super travail, j'ai beaucoup aimé ! =D

The concept here is really creative, and I liked the two “Cosmic God” characters a lot. I wish you didn’t have to place the traps on the fly - I’d like to be able to put more thought into them and place them before the next run. Overall, impressive work!

This is absolutely my favourite entry I've played so far, novel concept and fantastic execution. I forgot I was playing a game that was only made in 2 days; really great work!!

Very cool concept and art! Had quite an enjoyment

Can’t believe you made all that cool art in 2 days, good job! I enjoyed the game loop even though sometimes I’ve found it a bit too punishing, but it’s just me! Sometimes it’s a bit laggy (maybe because of my PC) but it’s very funny to play!

The movement feels silky smooth honestly, and the white outlines around the caracter are something that it's not used much but i am so in love every time i see it, it detaches the character perfectly from the background so i can distinguish them correctly. Very good!

The idea is very fun, and well executed as well. The art & environment design is spot-on too!

This game is so good! I like the idea of playing the level and then placing traps that you then have to avoid! Amazing art, swampy atmosphere fits well.

A fun twist on the theme, it was really fun to basically make your own levels, although  it sometimes felt really punishing to restart the whole level(but that might just be me). The art was really beautiful I especially enjoyed the backgrounds.

Developer

Thanks ! I know that restarting all from the begining can be a bit annoying but i'll change that in the next versions.

Really fun and unique, building the level around dying but also getting through was very interesting and fun. Felt like the time to place traps was very short and you had to be quick on your feet - but I felt that worked in the games favour to make it so you have to be strategic but quick at the same time. Very good game, would like to see where it goes in the future!

Cool concept and great execution! Good job! :)

It's a very interesting take on the theme, this game is so fun I almost forgot it was made in 48 hours. The art style is lovely and the constant back and forth between finishing the level and killing the character is well done.

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it !

A really nice take on the jam theme! Having to balance between progressing the character and trying to kill them is an interesting concept. Great job!

Love the duality of the saving/killing mechanics!

Developer
