I'm very impressed with the solid game juice when jumping and dying. The sound for jumping should've been for hitting the ground with a more "boing" type sound when actually jumping, that's a tiny detail tho. I think failure is still failure so I'm not sure how strongly the theme is represented, but the game is very fun and requires fair skill. I enjoyed it, the one thing gameplay wise I'd say is that I had no idea where the red squares would appear, it doesn't feel very fair when I respawn because of hitting an invisible wall that injures me I couldn't have predicted at all.
I am thankful of your feedback but not knowing where the blocks are is part of the challenge since the only way you can identefy them is by failing to them
Ah, I see. That kind of ties into the theme that way. The issue with that though is your fail state is reachable by your success state, i.e. dying to reveal the squares, and also dying by hitting the squares. It's a little dissonant. It's a tough theme to create a tight and well designed challenge for, we struggled with it for our game too but yeah this is good stuff all in all.
Really great! I love the mechanics and it's really polished and good. It's simple, and has a good theme.
also minus points for spontaneous death
Incredibly well polished, the level design is excellent, the dying mechanic (if you die too many times you have to start over) is great, over all my favorite game from this jam.
10/10 would feel hopeless again
This is amazing :)
Everything about this is brilliant. I don't think I've ever seen such a polished game jam game.
I wish there was some subtle way to tell when you're about to get hit, but other than that, this is great!
Amazing job!!
Great use of the topic! The sound was used well in the game and it was fun and simple.
Not sure if my death at the end was intended but great game!
Wowie!
you nailed the topic dude ! Also, it looks and feels so good ! Awesome job.
What a neat little game! Loved it! Was really fun to play
extrmeley polished
This is extremely great for the first game! Great job
I love the block reveal and the jump animatio. The game is fun and looks good
It's pretty good, but the character can sometimes feel a bit clunky, they're just a bit too large. Otherwise, it's super smooth, and the sounds and music are great! The idea isn't super unique, but it fits well! Great game!

Hot damn, this is really great, really nice juice too. Congrats.
Amazing!
If you make it more clear when you are about to die this game could be a masterpiece.
if i decide to make it a full game ill keep that it mind i was in jam crunch but thanks for the feedback!
Controls are snappy and juicy. Game´s mechanic fits in theme, but it is not fun if you have no clue where you die
the blocks flash that killed you but ill keep that in mind
Pretty neat game!
It fits the topic perfectly. Sfxs are pretty cool! Good job overall!
(im that darklion dummy from the dani's server)
Super cool idea, just one thing: why are there limited lives in a game where dying helps you progress?? I stopped playing because I had to start over several times. Otherwise, great concept and the polish is nice
there arent lives you have a set amount of health that you loose the more you die, the restart mechanic is there as a challenge to beat the game faster since you now know where everything is
The syncing of music/sound with gameplay elements is great! Love the intro to the red block.
very epic
Nice game man it was really tough but i loved the animations.
