This was super awesome. The art is adorable, and I loved that face on the candy corn changes when you take a bite. The music fits perfectly, and I would totally listen to it on its own. The puzzles were fun and challenging, but not so hard I got stuck. The interpretation of the checkpoints limitation was spot on, but also out of the box, and I never would have thought of it.

I had a fantastic experience, and I would buy this if you continued it. Great work!

Wow! This game is the best and most polished game I've played so far in the jam! The music, the art, the controls and just everything clicked to me and kept me playing!

Very nice game, Great job!

Very well polished game! Very enjoyable and simple concept! I'm not sure how the theme fits... but everything else is great!

This was super polished, love the spooky music and art! Having the keys on a blind drop was a little punishing at points, but the cute sound affects and responsive controls kept me playing. Solid job y'all

Cool implementation of the checkpoints theme, the puzzles were well built to use the mechanic. Enjoyed the cute graphics, it made the game based on dying feel lighthearted and playful.

A beautiful, well designed, implemented and polished game. The only thing, is that theme seems to be lacking. Still, to create such a quality game in just 10 days is very impressive!

Very smart use of checkpoints ! & very cute art !

This is amazing. I did have a similar idea but I thought some other people would also have it, and it doesn't matter because the execution here is pretty awesome. The only negative thing I can say is that there is a skill throw at the end which is a bit frustrating if you fail you have to redo the puzzle. But pretty pretty good one, aweomse, congrats.

Super cute idea. I liked the levels that had a little more of a puzzle focus a lot. If you ever expanded on this, I'd take out the blind falls or add some kind of coin trail so players know what to expect.

Looks like someone else had the idea of deaths and graves as a platforming mechanic haha. Really great level design that complements a very fun and intuitive mechanic. Music slaps and the sound effects and small bits of polish add some really nice game feel. Good submission!

I like the main mechanic (which works similiar to the one of my own jam game). In some levels it is difficult to see what you have to do, since the camera is directly pointing to the player and not a bit more in the movement direction. Still. Cool game, keep going!
