Very good pixel art and old school music! I loved the theme, I only wish I could see more of the game, I had to give up part way through level 2 after seeing game over about 70 times. Most of those game overs I felt I didn't earn, like I would tap left to adjust for a jump and my character would hurl themselves into a pit. when I finished level 1 I felt more lucky then accomplished. Maybe adding in more checkpoints or tighter controls as an easy mode? I did play it much longer then I thought because its charming spooky fun. Great use of the sacrifice theme!

Thank you so much for playing and your comment! A lot of players have been having trouble with the game's difficulty, so it seems I made it a bit too hard, haha. I'm so used to platformers like Megaman and Castlevania that I didn't have problems while playtesting this game, but that was a mistake on my part, assuming that it would be as easy for everyone. I will definitely make some changes after the jam ends, and your suggestions are a great help! I will consider an easy mode so that people can enjoy the game without stressing too much about deaths. And the controls definitely need to be polished. Thanks again for playing!
