Great game! Everything fits together very well!
Can't really say anything more than fun and simple, could use a restart button though.
I really liked this game!
The idea of a platformer where you have to die at it's core is not very original, but you clearly gave it your own flavour. I haven't seen anyone else implement it in the way you did!
In most of these platformers, it's not really a challenge to die, since you can just always go back to the spikes or hole. I think making the camera scroll through the level was a really clever finding!
This way you had to rush to an obstacle to die of it as much as possible, before it was out of the screen.
You also set some nice traps, where I died, and then spawn in 3 hearts and in my panic grab all three of them ;)
To improve the game I would add some kind of main menu, so the game does not start inmediately.
Also I would add some endscreen with the possibility to restart and try to get a higher score (via this main menu?), so you don't have to refresh the page if you want to play another time.
Great game, well done!
The thing that makes the dying on purpose as often as possible work is the auto scrolling. I think that is kind of genius in a way. Good work.
I got 17 deaths.
I absolutely LOVED the visual design of this game. The colors popped, and the lines were minimalist yet completely clear.
I love the core gameplay idea. Many games use dying on purpose, but this is the first one I've played that makes dying a challenge, and a fast-paced one at that. My favorite sections were places with spikes or pits so I could try to jump into them as many times as possible before they disappeared.
The music that is here is nice and fits the theme, but there's not very much of it. It sounds like it's only 4 bars long, so it loops often and gets annoying after hearing it many times. I think you picked a good song to match the tone of your game, but I would suggest choosing something longer!
Thanks so much bro! Disclaimer, I did not make the art assets for this one. But Im really glad you liked the game <3 yeah I agree about the music thing as well. But I just stole that as well hahah! yeah I know im a thief
I noticed only after writing most of my review that you used other art and music xD but I think you still made good choices to complement your game design!
Hey I remember actually coming across your livestream on Friday to see how other people are doing and I was amazed by how polished the game already looked. I'm glad to have found the game again. Very beautifully made and satisfying to play.
yoo thanks for vibing in the stream bro <3
This is a really good arcade take on the topic! Love it!!
Thanks bro
Wow I was surprised but this was really fun :D
Thanks so much bro
Although an straightforward take on the theme, I felt the execution was well done. The succ was worthy.
Thanks so much! another worthy succer!
Really loved the simple graphics of this entry! Honestly the really simple linework with different colors really just did it for me! The shooting and dying also had really good feedback with the screen shake and particles, so well done on that! As for the theme, it was essentially just a sprite swap between hazards and powerups, so I don't think it really did anything interest with it there. But it is a solid, good looking game that is fun to play, so good job on that!
Yeah bro I agree its just swapping dying and collecting hearts lol! But the art assets arent made by me though I just stole it :D
Yesss... My succ is worthy, I did it
ahh yes finally, a worthy succer
Nice one. Really enjoyed the take on the theme, was pretty frantic at times.
Character felt a tiny bit floaty, but overall I really liked it.
Thank you! yeah the game could use a lot of tweaks lol
I wish I entered a game to rate it. Though this game was a masterpiece; really fun.
Fits the theme nicely, graphics are cool and it's a worthy play :)
Thanks so much bro
Very cool game concept! and I love the art style!
Thanks so much bro, I didnt make the art assets though I just stole it
The art style is amazing, but the music is all panned to my left ear, not sure if it's something wrong with my headphones but you might want to look into that. Cool take on the concept and the controls are really responsive!
I'd be grateful if you would take a look at my game!
thanks bro! Im pretty sure that left ear thing is my fault though :D
Still an amazing game!
Nice game to look at. The visuals all fit together very well, which results in a nice overall picture.
The game concept fits very well with the jams topic too. You just need to die as many times to get a higher score. I got a high score of 8, i'm just not bad enough.
In summary, this is a very well made game to play.
Thanks so much :D I guess youre just good at games bro
Really nice graphics
thanks bro but I didnt make those assets :D it was by VEXED
That was actually super fun and the directions were spot on... "Just die as much as you can bro"!! I actually laughed at that. Anyways great stuff dude!
lol thanks bro Im glad I gave you a laugh
Very Simple, yet engaging and since the presentation I knew I'd have fun!
It makes you wish the game scrolled faster, but that's part of the challenge and gives you room to read the mood so you can plan your deaths! I had a lot of fun!
Great Job!!!
Thanks so much bro :D yeah I think it would have been a good idea to tweak those stuff
