To be honest, I didn't find it that... "fun", but I enjoyed it and thought it was a really clever concept for the mechanic. Using your body as a sort of breadcrumb trail to help you escape.
Shame about the lack of audio, but, really impressive that you built the engine yourself! :D

Its a cool maze game, though I don't think I ever really used my past ghosts to help me escape the maze? Unless I was missing some mechanic, I just worked my way to the end, then if I died, go back and do it again? still a cute little game, but would be interesting to try to explore the main concept more.

FracturedFirst things first: Cudos for working with your own engine.
Now feedback: Like SheepDog already said Spacebar was no good choice for a button in a webgl game. But besides that and the missing music a solid Jam game :)

UnfallfieberIt's amazing that you did this in your own engine, something I've always been fascinated with, so that already is amazing. The game as it is honestly isn't super engaging, I can't really tell how it applies to the theme and when I died I didn't really know why I died, and it's all not very intuitive. Unique movement scheme but unfortunately not a very enjoyable movement scheme.

Veromir: Post MortemDon't tell me you made the game engine and game in 3 days?
The game is pretty good, I like that you're able to come across your dead bodies and ghost walking around.
I did spawn inside a monster which looked weird. The walls being all the same makes it hard to navigate. I managed to complete the game but I know people who get lost turning around would have a lot of difficulty with the game and get frustrated with it easily.
Oh, if you could colour the ghosts depending on when they died, that'd be really cool. I had 2 ghosts in the same area at one point and couldn't tell which was which. The last level might need more monsters/things which can kill you, I was walking around for awhile not knowing whether I was close or going the wrong way.
It's a good advertisement for your game engine.
