My five star, for your simplicity, presentation, and fun!
Really cool game! :D I like the aesthetics, which I hadn't really expected from the game cover (I know don't judge books by their covers, but still, maybe you can add a nicer cover for the next jam :D). The puzzles were really creative! Nice game :)
Thanks for playing! I usually put an enemy sprite as the game cover, but there was not really an enemy in this game. I agree I could've put more effort on the skull though so I appreciate the feed back. Maybe I'll just make the enemy sprites high quality haha.
Yeah or add a nice background colour or something ^^ Make sure to give my game a try as well :)
Good work! i like the game, i did get stuck and was confused why i couldnt kill myself multiple times on those spikes, but i liked the game!
The puzzles were well made. Was surprised when I discovered that the feathers brought you back, great use of the limitation! The simple art style was nice and the music really set the mood. Just wish there were more levels because I wanted to play more haha
Thanks for playing! I definitely wanted to make more levels, but designing puzzles that get more difficult is difficult :(
Cool entry and a very solid take on the Limit!
I enjoyed what little there was, which is a huge plus. My only main critic would be that the puzzles felt very straight forward imo. I solved all but one of them by just walking though them to learn them
But still a really solid game, I learned the mechanics quite naturally through the early levels. It was very well tutorialized.
Great work
Thanks for playing. I enjoy the strategy of making a player learn something by forcing them through one path haha.
Super fun puzzle! I love the use of the limitation! It makes up with the whole puzzle system and that is a wonderful way to integrate it! The game art is perfectly fine and I had a lot of fun playing it. You can be proud!

This was a fun little puzzle game! I got stuck for quite a while on the penultimate level, but I worked it out eventually. I liked the sound effects and the simplicity of the death methods. Having the number of phoenix feathers collected flash when it wasn't enough to go through the end-of-level door was helpful. The one tweak I'd suggest is to either sync movement to the grid, to widen the hallway, or to auto-correct the sprite position when necessary: there were several times that I was unable to get into a hallway until I walked away to "bleed off" some of my positioning on the axis perpendicular to the hallway, so that I would stop running into one or the other hallway wall when trying to enter it. Overall, nice and straightforward!
Thanks for playing! I actually did grid based movement for my last jam, but I had trouble coding it properly and it resulted in a lot of hard coding to fix the bugginess. I'll definitely take a try at it some other time.
A fun and simple puzzle game. 5/5
