How does you game fit the theme?
Orb Boy is a game about a hidden ghost world that the character can make visible with the orb on their head. So the player has to figure out what is real and what is only an illusion and find their way out of the dungeon.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code from scratch (with the help of some tutorials) and created all the graphic assets from scrath myself.
I only downloaded the font and music/sound effects, but made sure that they are published under the SIL Open Font License and the Creative Commons License respectively.

I love the concept a whole lot. It took me a second while playing to understand, but it was great! I wasn't sure how I was loosing life tho, so maybe have some sort of introduction to that concept at the beginning?
I hoped the red border around the screen when taking damage would be enough for the player to figure it out themselves
But thank you for the feedback, I will keep that in mind for my next game jam :)
Very cool game, it looks and feels very polished, great work!
