Great game! The dying mechanics are really well-designed. The Art style and sound design were great.  You did a unique take on the theme and it turned out amazing.

Really impressive visuals, audio and theme! Love the design of the player too. The concept is really clever where you need to die to get through. I did find the game quite difficult despite the hints and noticed a few things that could be improved if you continue making the game:

The player gets clipped to a wall if you don't make it in high enough. A solution here is to make walls have 0 friction so player doesn't get clipped to a wall. Also you can allow Player to make it above a platformer even if they slightly miss.

Also I found that left and right were too close to the other controls of Q and E. It made it difficult to move, use the curses, jump with spacebar and use the mouse at the same time. I recommend moving the move controls, to W,S or generally finding a way of reducing the number of controls. 

Definitely something you should continue and really cool you guys did this in a week! Keep it up

Wow, thankss for your feedback!! We did find the control is hard for some ppl, our mistake was not testing it to some diverse ppl. There's so many bugs on the last day of the jam that we cant fix it all. Ledge climb does sound good and will help so much, definitely will implement it!

This may be the most clever idea for the game that I've played so far. Even though there are some bugs the idea is amazing and I love it. Great work!.

A really cool concept, I love the unique puzzle creations and having to think where to put your bodies. I did encounter some issues with the restart button not working properly but other than that, a very fun experience!

I loved the concept! I don't quite understand what the effect of the orange blob in the third level is.

Developer

thankyou for the feedback. Actually, the orange blob require us to do Suicide using Q button in the air for it to show it's effect
