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)?

oh I win all the time :D
Very addictive! But frustating too! Very good job, is very fun!
It was a really fun game but frustrating too! I wasn't able to go beyond level 15 :( Very good job!
It's so fun and creative, I really enjoy it! can't stop win
Awesome work! Nicely polished game for a 1 week jam, and some of the later levels were really interesting and a nice twist! Very cool take on the theme, great job!
Great work and great idea. Maybe more responsive controls would be better but that's just a comment. Congratulations.
I like the puzzles! Especialy the one with the clone who moves in the opposite direction! Very creative
Lol was not expecting a kaizo block in this game. Loved it. The music is top notch.
its a classic :)
Among the better and simpler executions of the "broken game" ideas!
Fun game. Specially if you're a sore loser.
It's simple, fun and fits the theme.
Interesting idea and exciting game. well done!
A fun puzzle platformer with a simple twist : you win by avoiding the goal! The concept is unique and fits well with the theme, the levels are well-designed, and strike the difficulty balance of not being too hard and not being too easy either.
Great work on this!
An interesesting take on the theme. quite difficult for me but i can play any levels at any order so great game!
A masterpiece
can i quote you on that!?
A game about being a loser. Great game, liked all the levels.
Really cool concept and plenty fun ideas in terms of level design, I love how names are hints!
The concept is really cool. teh only thing is that the controls feel bad. its easy to slip but difficult to land becasue you go overboard with speed but you decelerate instantly so you have to get the timing really right. besides braking instantly doesn't feel natural it feels clunky. But the concept is really good and thats probably the most difficult part, so good job
It seems very simple, but also very interesting. So far one of the games that has drawn me in for a long time.
Cool game, the puzzles are smart and creative, I thought it was really cool when the rules switched! I only had a few issues with the characer controller, I felt the jump fas too floaty and the movement felt slippy, but overall the game was really good and the music was cool too :)
