That must be the most ballsy use of expendable lives I've ever seen lol

The presentation of the game blew me away.
Really lovely traditional Japanese style art! (No SFX but) 3 lovely songs fit for the adventure!

The adventure itself is fun! It only took 1000+ years for the Hieda girl to go to *one* festival by yay she made it! Totally couldn't have made it in one life by being escorted there lol

P.S.: I just read the comments below. How do you guys even die more than 40 times?

Lovely concept! The collisions are a little wonky but that's to be expected for a jam game. The art and music are really good as well. Nice entry!

Graphically this might be the best game we've ever had for a jam. Your team did a fantastic job with all of the art. The puzzles were also pretty fun, with some creative building of mechanics. I will admit though: the first cave section had me malding a bit lol.

Beautiful game! The platforming is a bit rough, tough.

Best use of theme I've seen so far, with how it integrates into the mechanics - neat idea to design mechanics around dying. The platforming is a bit rough in some places, but I got there in a few... millennia?!

Akyuu went through 90 reincarnations and 3600 years just trying to reach Eientei but it was worth it in the end to eat some mochi.

Nice little platformer with some fun puzzles and a relaxing atmosphere.

Only problem is that the text was too small, which made it difficult to read.
