This is really memorable. I think the death mechanic is really brilliant, and it's been executed very well. I honestly had a lot of fun with this! Adding this to my collections..

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game overall. I'll add some sort of icon for aiming the fireballs, that'll be pretty useful for the player. There is a level select for the game, you are supposed to have 30 seconds in order to fight the boss. I forgot to add a check while the player is normally advancing through the levels so you got in with only 24 seconds. I'll also experiment with keeping the mouse inside the window. Thanks for the great feedback!

It's alright. The end of level screen says "menu" instead of "level select" so it's my fault, I'll fix it in the post-jam version

Very cool game and I enjoyed the moving back and forth form physical to spiritual. Brutal final boss...you have to save enough time or else you are going to lose :P

I enjoyed the puzzle element to the death/life mechanic and the level designs were fun and challenging (but not too challenging ). nice work!

Cool game with unique mechanics.  I like the idea of dying just switching you to another form and having different abilities in each form and there being parts of the game where it is actually beneficial to die.
