How does the game fit the theme?
I took the theme as a challenge, or perhaps.. a threat?
Can't Lose is a minimalist puzzle platformer where the game really wants you to win, so the question is, how can you lose?
If you get stuck on a level the name is usually a bit of a clue, if you're still stuck you can always press esc to return to the menu and use the level select to skip
Also, just out of curiosity, leave a comment if you complete the last level, i'm a little worried its a bit tricky to work out
*** Thank you to everyone who's played so far, and thank you for all the feedback! I won't update the game during the Jam, but i am working on improving the feel of the game right now, and have a fair few new level ideas i would like to try out after the Jams finished***
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I was dying laughing the first two levels, what a funny and great concept for a game! It fits the theme perfectly and had a blast playing it!
i like the concept, the levels were well made and not too "punishing". the color palette is really good it coulde use some more pixel art and it would be even better. Good job!
Oh yes, who knew it would be so satisfying being a loser! Sneaky levels! Loved trying to figure out what to do in each one. Well done!
It was the best among brackeys jam games. Idea and level design is impressive and original. I am stuck in the level 15, ı cant figure out what to do every obstacle disappears when ı get close. Maybe the controls can be a little bir more jucy and comfortable.
thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! For level 15, all i will say is, have you CHECKED THE INSTRUCTIONS?
ah dammit ı didnttt. Maybe you should add a hint button for idiots like me skjfdsksk
lol, the hint is the level title!
haha smart!
Excellent idea, fun audio and graphics. Well done.
Very fun! It's hard but in a good way, challenging.
im a loser!
Very creative, I giggled a few times at how I lost the levels... they were clearly very thought out. Had a blast playing this one and saw it through to the end!
Great design! I don't usually play puzzle platformers to the end, but I played every level. Great puzzles. I particularly liked Squid Game.
Uniqe and great game design. Just loved it. My favorite level is green light red light. Very creative level designs. Had lots of fun.
I absolutely zero complaints!
Simple concept nicely executed, I enjoy some good twist of gameplay and I was served, well done !
Completed it, really quite a nice game. Reminds me a little of VVVVVV. The creative and whimsical concept and level designs are the best part by far. I'd love to see this one polished and fleshed out even more. Awesome work
Nice game. Loved the puzzles. Good job!
Always love a good win=lose reversal
Easily the best idea for this theme.
oh wow, this was genuinely really really good! loved all the switch ups and mechanic dynamics! super fun and interesting, nicely done!
Fun game, I would lower the acceleration of the player. But very cool!
This was so fun! Amazing idea! The level design was also awesome!
First I was doing the opposite, then I realized and started basicly winning. Nice trap on the level 10
