To be honest it gets very repetitive, fast, but I kept playing till the end and I don't regret it. 

I even started dying on purpose to place lights in strategic spots. 

I loved it!

Amazing art, amazing sound design, amazing concept!

Amazing in general! My only note is that its really easy to die, perhaps too easy to die!

If you can, please consider playing and rating my game :)

The visual design of the area is interesting and the traps are really surprising when you don't notice them! Although, I must say it's more frustrating than fun to keep repeating the level, but the fun names of characters adds some much needed points of interest to continuing, but I'm not sure it's enough to make up for it.

I'm gonna be honest, it didn't really click with me.

I like the concept, the graphics and audio is awesome. But, I think the amount of ways to die is through the roof, which didn't give me a chance to explore and get into the game. And everytime I die I was stopped by text which was daunting after the 20th or so death.

I think I am missing on this game by not completing it, but I just didn't connect with that - which is fine.

The fact that you managed to make it in such a short while is impressive.

Well done!

Super cool concept! I like how you can see all your previous deaths and there are descriptions of what happened. It makes the game really immersive! Great job!

Submitted

Nice Game. Artwork and sound design are complementary. It's pretty funny to see all of our dead passing by.

Submitted

Very nice game. It fits the topic very well, and motivates you to go on.

Absolutely compelling and I had to finish it.

That is a beautiful quote!

Thanks :)

The concept is amazing and implemented very well! Having the traps be subtly on the floor makes dying feel a lot less unfair (which is a good thing!) The graphics also work very well and the text in between adventurers was a nice touch! Overall, I really enjoyed playing!

I love the hand drawn art style. The idea of showing the predecessor's corpse, feels like experiencing your own story. It also fits the topic well.

Nice unique game idea!

I liked the art a lot. I like the idea that you kind of need to die for your lantern to drop and illuminate the scene, making it easier to proceed. This was unique, great job!

Submitted

Great job, it fits the topic! Graphic is something awesome!

Submitted

Really unique game :D

I love the art style

Really Unique way way of using the topic.

I would really Appreciate it if you would play/rate my game

Great Job

This fits the topic perfectly! I didn't finish it though, it got kind of tedious. My mind was blown when I saw there were upper levels and stuff! Maybe I'll continue it when I have more time :)
