Cool music and interesting sound effects. I like whatever the player is supposed to be lol.

Check out my game if you want :) I have a similar concept

I enjoyed playing as the little onion-shaped spirit guy, even though the graphics were fairly simple they were really appealing! 

It felt to me like a lot of the hitboxes for the spikes were a bit too big, I kept dying by coming just a hair to close to some things without actually touching them, especially the vertical spike walls and the trampolines. I honestly thought I was going to soft-lock the game, I created so many bouncing dead onions at one point that I thought I'd made it impassable xD

I definitely wasn't playing correctly all the time, I sort of spammed my way up a lot of the vertical obstacles by hammering the buttons because I made too many corpses and couldn't get past them easily, but I'm awful at platformers, so perhaps take that with a grain of salt. 

Overall I enjoyed it, but nearly slid into frustration a couple times with how often I died without meaning to. Nice concept, clean execution, managed to survive my inept platforming without breaking!

Submitted

Just an example of how much I kept running into the sides of the spikes xD

Developer

Thank you so much for the Feedback!

The game is pretty good however the collision seems a bit weird and also I think a little animation whenever character dies would be pretty good. 

Developer

thank you for the feedback!

Submitted

I love the art, the music and sounds. I like how there are many levels, though some of them are quite difficult :/

It’s a nice game though!

(btw to y’all play my submission if you have the time :D)

Developer

thank you for the rate!

Developer

also yes consider your entry played

Submitted

Neat game! I like the visuals and the puzzles are pretty nice. although the jump is a little weird.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Great game! I really like the visuals! The jump feels a bit floaty but it's a great game overall!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Nice game! I liked the player animation and the bouncing mechanic later on. There are a few issues I had with the movement of the player, like how the side corpse jump isn't always reliable and how you can get stuck in a wall, and sometimes the corpses piled up in an unfair formation. Otherwise, solid submission.

Thank you for the Feedback!

Could have some better audio and either there is a glitch that allows you to wall jump or the wall jumping is just super janky mechanic

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! also yes the wall jump is a super janky mechani

Submitted

At one point I hit a soft locking bug doing a wall jump. Essentially i was on the ground but stuck in the jumped state so I couldn't jump again. It happened at the end though where I was just trying to cheat to hit the target number of deaths for the secret path.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, It makes me smile knowing people who understood my referances.

Submitted

nice and solid game! I was about to give up after reloading the page a couple of times trying to figure out the correct height to die in the wall, and then I saw Stegersaurus comment and want to have another go :D

Submitted

And now I come back with the TRUE ANSWER!!!

(Wall jump was a bit tricky, but it was amazing to see everything you've hidden! well done! huge depth :D)

Developer(+1)

Tank You so much for the feedback!

Know you know the true answer..

Cute little game, the music was good too, my only grip was the respawn sound was very jarring, especially for a game where you have to kill yourself. But overall a great jam game :D

Developer

Thank you! (I already played your game, It was hilarious dude)

Submitted

very great art and awesome mechanics! can u plz rate mine

Developer

Sure! and thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Is a cool game and concept, but the rewind sound is pretty annoying and the jump feels pretty floaty, but maybe it's just a design decision.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!

Submitted

Cool game, When you die your corpse is chicken corpse :D, By the way, you can jump on walls, fun

Developer

Nice nice nice :) Thanks!

Submitted

Cool game. I do have some feedback to give:

  1. The jumping feels too floaty, or in other words unrealistic. Here’s a good tutorial by CodeMonkey, that shows how to make simple but great jumping in Unity.

  2. Whenever you die, you respawn, too fast. You could’ve added some kind of animation to show how the player dies and leaves its body, or you could’ve at least added some simple smooth camera movement so that it doesn’t just instantly teleport back to the player. Here’s a smooth camera movement tutorial by Brackeys, hope it helps!

I’ve seen this concept in other games in this game jam, but it was still fun playing it!

Developer

Thank you man! another discord buddy has come to join the part ;)

Submitted

Love this submission, especially the little secret room. Great job overall. I really liked the little jumping animation, thought it was super dramatic. 

Submitted

I like this take on theme ! I’ve seen it a few times now but I love the cute character and the level design utilizes it very well. I also like how it shows the death count, so the goal is still to get through with as few deaths as possible. Nice job ! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you man so much!

Submitted

amazing

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

Great game, the mechanic really fit the theme! I found the secret :)

Developer

Tnaks man! I saw your game in the icoso discord I willl play

Submitted

Really enjoyed the mechanic with the dead corpse still laying around

Developer

Thank you for playing! :)

Submitted

Nice job! I like the art, the concept wits the jam. One minor criticism is that the camera tends to jitter after respawning, otherwise good job!

Developer

Thanks! I will play your game now
