How does the game fit the theme?
The theme being Nothing can go wrong... Can be taken a few different ways. To me, I took it literally. No matter what the player tries, they cannot die or run out of time.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Music (credited in project description) and I used one of brackeys platforms from his free asset pack and retextured it.

A Platformer done different. I love how you go down a layer instead of losing and starting over. It's a nice touch.
Quite a moody art style! A bit challenging, but overall a fun game.
I like the idea of layers. Idk, most of the players find this game difficult, but i don't feel it. Anyway, very good concept, keep it up!
Took a couple tries, but I reached the end with a score of 14. It's an okay platformer, but it was way to easy to fall to your doom. The moving platforms move a bit too fast to reliably land on, and once you started falling, you'd often be spawned in a location that made it super easy to keep falling. I think this game needed to have more in it in order to balance everything out. More room to move and a couple easy jumps to get the player accustomed, then have it get difficult. Make the new layer start on an easy safe space that gives way to challenge, rather than having the player suddenly have to catch themselves. There's room to grow here for sure.
Completely agree with you! Definitely needs some polishing up and difficulty curve needs adjusting. I appreciate you taking your time to play and leave the constructive criticism!
A really well done game and very unique concept! I like how there are multiple layers (literally) to the game and I think it was handled very well! It was a challenging game but I always like a challenge! Great job!
The game is pretty hard, and a short tutorial would help. I really like the vibes, the idea is creative, and the music fits really well. I had a lot of fun playing, but I ran into a problem where the game can't run in the background. If you're planning to keep working on it, that might be something to fix. Also, I'm not really sure what HP is for since I got to -14 HP at one point.
Thanks for the kind words!
I love the art concept and the style of the game, very fun!
I really like the art direction with this game. I hope the developer decides to build this game further and work out some of the bugs. It is a really cool concept and I would love to see a full release for this. Great work!
Nie game and nice Art well done
I appreciate it!
When I missed the first moving platform I thought "Oh dear, I'm dead" but fell to the second layer of purgatory. What an interesting concept to be explored. I do think currently it's a little bugged though, with the coins resetting. Interesting idea you have here! You should continue to explore it!
Very cool art style and game concept!
I won I think? Fun game, I really like how falling doesn't just kill you and restarts the game, it just brings you to another sin which is a really neat concept. Also health going below 0 is neat since we are dead anyways! Graphics are decent and music is nice, platforming can be difficult with the moving platforms moving so quickly but otherwise not bad.
Good work.
Cool game, visuals and music are pretty cool, controls where a bit rough, especially the small moving platform, nonetheless good job and good luck in the jam!
Nice small game, maybe too challenging for my taste. But overall nice game.
Visuals and music are good. Gameplay a bit too precise for me with this jumping, but otherwise - great game.
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely went a bit overboard in the difficulty of some of the jumps. I'm glad to liked the visuals!
Nice visuals! I like that you can never lose your score and that you never "lose" when falling, meaning it fits the theme pretty well! Great job!
Thank you for the feedback!
Love the visuals, the blend of polygon art in the background and pixel art in the foreground blended surprisingly well. The mechanics and take on the theme were smooth and well done as well. Was definitely a good challenge. Great job!
From the first try I thought that it was a bit too hard. Some intro level could help. But when I fell for the first time I was shocked! Amazing twist of change of the levels. You did very good!
I really appreciate the kind words! I definitely wish I had more time to tweak the levels, but I'm glad that it surprised you!
Being able to get negative HP was a little confusing! I see now that's part of your interpretation of theme. I suppose as a ghost you are already dead?
The platforms moved quite fast and were quite small which made the jumps challenging. Overall quite enjoyable.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
