"I think the game is super creative with using your prior corpses as platforms to solve each room's puzzle. I don't see as much done with the theme of dichotomy though." - Mr. Michael Pien (tiebreaker)

"I truly enjoy this kind of puzzle game - I wish more attention had been paid to making the levels navigable and usable - the color tone and selections make it very difficult to parse some objects in the space. I also think there are deeper possible puzzle solutions that could have more strongly brought out the theme - that would be how I would explore to progress this project. As is, the die to live idea is solid but could use some depth." -Roberts

"Well, this was unique. I couldn't figure it out at first, but it was surprisingly well paced, challenging and creative. Don't know how I feel about the theme, but it worked in the same way many of the challenging platformers do. I was surprised at how many times I tried to get through some of the levels; it was weirdly engaging. A level reset option may help in the future, but - and I can't believe I'm saying this considering the theme - I think this has real potential." - Denenberg

Very cool concept! I enjoyed playing this game.

This was a really neat game!! Stepping on your own dead body is a bit morbid, but it's cool that your own sacrifices are the key to progressing through the game.
