Very cool game. I loved the art style for everything and the transition between levels. I liked that some of that levels required you to play them a few times to figure out where and how to die. Only issue I had is that sometimes I still died through blocks from the previous obstacle.

This game is great, loved the sprite work, controls were nice and the transition screen when the level reloads is a really nice touch. Great take on the theme too. well done!

Submitted

Nice idea. Would be more fun with some character controller improvements.

Submitted

That's a very neat interpretation of the theme, and an original one, with the boxes. I love the graphics and music. Game feels really polished. Good job!

Submitted

Very good. Controls are nice and level design is great.

The difficulty curve is weird though. The final level is easier than like half of levels before.

I think this idea has been done a lot, but you are first ive seen to handle it this well! The other games ive seen with this idea either let you die infinitly making there be almost no puzzle element or have no varition in platform when you die both of which are here which makes it in my opinion so much better. I also love the art, its so nice and perfectly conveys the theme.

Submitted

Nice job, perfect game for the theme .

Cool game! I've seen a few games with the same concept but limiting the player to only die "x" amount of times is really clever and makes or a great puzzle platformer. The only advice I have is that the "next boxes" thing could have been a bit clearer. Other than that great work!

Very unique take on the puzzle. I really like how you incorporate the players death with solving the puzzles, it really fits the games theme. I also LOVE your art style its so nice and minimalistic but also vibrant at the same time. Also the music adds so much depth and atmosphere to your game. Great work!

Submitted

Very nice atmosphere, enjoyed the music and art-style! 

Submitted

Nice idea and game. The difficulty of it kinda ruins the idea of sacrifising yourself to me, as you easily can die on accident. Polish, and additional game features could also be needed.

Otherwise nice game!

Submitted

A cool take on the "you die you become a box" trope, now you need to think a bit on when you should sacrifice. But it's just WHY ? The guide for the next boxes are almost unoticable and it's way too easy to die by accident.

Submitted

Fun concept with cultists. It suits the theme so much! I enjoyed the game however, just like someone from the comments below I didn't noticed the sprite with upcoming boxes. It should stand out more, otherwise it can be frustrating.

Submitted

Love the palette choice, pixel art is really good, although it could use some animations. You could also put the number of cultists left and perfect controls :)

I like that idea at the first i decided to do something like that but i canceled it and got a new idea😆

Submitted (1 edit)

Ooo this is a really cool game. Connects to the theme perfectly!

Submitted

Overall I enjoyed the game, I  liked the concept a lot.

Submitted

great artwork! really enjoyed it!

Ok, this is a REALLY COOL idea! nice visuals also. I really love the concept One thing I would say is probably to put the amount of tries the player has on the screen. I got it fairly quickly, but it might add to the anxiety factor! In addition there can be other stages with more chances.

There were also times where I got really stuck and couldn't move forward :(

This is a cool game, great job!

Submitted

Very cool idea and nice visuals. The music is a bit repetetive and boring but great aesthetics. The game window is a bit small with no option to go full screen so it's hard to concentrate especially on a larger monitor. The controls could've done with some refining, as it's very hard to control the player precisely. Great game!
