Freaking love it. This has the most bizarre vibe in the best kind of way; everything about it just oozes a style and sensibility that I'm in love with. I could keep playing (and dying) for a thousand years and I would not tire of it.
That said, dying for a thousand years and ending up in the same spot every time does get a little tedious. I'd love some checkpoints or something. I kind of get the feel you're going for with the timer and death counter, but I think, especially for the sake of this being playable and easily rated as a jam entry, it would be really nice to have something to make it so every death isn't so punishing.
I also kept having an issue where the music would suddenly disappear. Like, it would start kind of stuttering and popping and then it would just cut out completely. I restarted one time because there was no way I was playing without listening to that fascinatingly funky music. But when it happened a second time, I had to just keep going without it. Playing the browser version in Chrome if that helps at all.
Anyway, I really do love this. Didn't end up finishing it, but the chances I'll come back to keep playing are astronomical. I sincerely hope you have plans of continuing development with this. It's so great!
