Man I really loved this game, there's so much depth in such a simple mechanic.
I found it very well paced too. It might be a bit steep of a learning curve if you don't work it out quickly but for a jam game it taught all the depths of the mechanic very well.
My only gripe is that the instant respawn meant that if I running backwards when I died then I would just run off the platform and die again.
But seriously, what an amazing core mechanic. So satisfying.
