Cool!  Unique mechanic counting the ways to die, that was pretty fun.  The art is good too!  Could have used some sound fx / music

nice game!  the controls are responsive  and the mechanic is interestingly creative, this game has a lot of potential , overall I enjoyed playing! keep it up!

While playing, my mind was racing with possible ideas to build on this mechanic. You have a really strong idea here. In terms the execution, for it being your first game jam, this was very well done. Keep at it.

Love the idea, well executed for the most part, though I did disappear off the side of the screen and had to restart to get back on to the screen. Otherwise fab idea and would be great to see it developed more.

That's a fun and interesting game mechanic. Would love to see it improved upon. Would also like to see more levels. Great game

Hey,

very nice entry. First i dont get it. but when i realised that i have to die in different ways : D

Very funny game. Wish there were more level. 


Great entry !!

it would be nice if you would test my game too. Although I didn't quite finish it, I put a lot of time into it. https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2022/rate/1539557

Loved the stellar mix of platforming and puzzle (figuring out the different ways to die). This idea has a lot of potential to be expanded upon!

Interesting mechanic. But low gravity felt kind of odd. Cute art :)

Good idea, a pity there are no more levels.

Congrats on completing the jam! I liked your approach to the theme, definitely a different take on a platformer and very thematically appropriate. I'm glad you included a counter for the different death types, made it easier to be sure. I would love to see more levels, traps, and higher death counts! One small suggestion would be to make your jumps faster and less floaty.
