Yes

Summarise your game!
The Grim Reaper suddenly disappears, leaving their loyal scythe alone to collect the souls of the dead.

In the gameplay, you will be playing as the Grim Reaper's scythe. You can use the shape of the scythe to help you climb walls, and stick the blade on certain surfaces, allowing you to mobilize. Your objective is to collect all souls within the levels, use them to activate switches and change the environment, and reach the end of each level without leaving any soul behind.

Move with A and D. Jump with Space. And interact with switches with E.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You incarnate a magical weapon. You can use its shape and abilities to navigate the levels.

While visuals appear simple, the camera movement does a great job of guiding you making it easy to get into the state needed to do the puzzles

Also, who doesn't love being a piece of farming equipment. Please make a sequel with a plow or a rake!

Fascinating game, I liked a lot of the mechanics. I think if you work on this post jam, I think the most important quality of life feature would be some sort of speed-up button for the platforms. All in all, really solid

I like the idea where you are literally a weapon, its funny

Simples gameplay but cool puzzle, very fun

Funny Story. Loved everything thing about this game, the last puzzle made had me stumped for a while.  All the small details were awesome, like being able to hang cause its a scythe. I don't have any feedback I could give, keep it up.
