Cool concept! I like that a platform sprouts when you die and you cycle through different types of characters with their own abilities, that's very creative! 

Check out my game if you can :)

Hi, this is a awesome game! Theme was pretty well implemented, visiuals were basic but appealing..I really liked we can do different things with different plants deads, this made this game a lot unique..

My only real complain is it was way too hard for me, which is bad because i wanted to play every level but i wasnt able to.. (even if u use dead plants)

Great game overall in my opinion :) Keep up with the good work :)

I came here from my play for play so you should check my game and return favor.. Oh wait you already checked it lol :)

Yeah this feedback has been very helpful. I can see how the game can be too difficult for some. I think I will try to tone it down for any other game jam games I make. Thanks for playing!

I just played the game with my daughter and her verdict was: tough, but cool! I can’t say anything against it. Compared to the hundreds of other jump and run with dead body games, yours is truly refreshing and different. We had a lot of fun checking out what the different plants do.

I think, however, that the control mechanic can be improved. The jump was quite unresponsive and the movement very sensitive and fast, which made it hard to navigate precisely.

Developer

I actually really agree that the movement is sensitive. I think making the character have a slight smoothing before reaching max speed would have had a positive effect on the game

This was really fun i like that the mechanic is not necessarily need to complete the levels if you like a challenge which i tried for the first few levels but it got to difficult to do and then continued as it was supposed to be done. i also really liked that that is wasn't just make a platform their were different ability tied to the characters.

Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you realized you could play without the death abilities. I tried to make each level very difficult on their own so if anyone wanted a simple hidden hard mode they could challenge themselves. I agree that the later levels are unreasonably hard without the abilities.

Edit: Holy cow I just beat the game without any of the abilities. It is possible but so hard oh my gosh. Especially level 6.

A common idea in the jam, but you took it to the next level by adding different abilities for each character (we did a similar thing in our games lol). The platforming feels nice, and the levels are just the right mount of challenging! Great job!

This is the first game I've clicked on for the title alone, made me chuckle, lol.

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

It's a nice spin on just having your dead body remain for future platforming. The 3 different characters(?) having different effects is really neat. I'll say that it's a bit too hard for me to complete the game, and sometimes the death effects will softlock you. Otherwise, it's solid.

Developer

Yeah I realized the mechanic can kill you just as easily as it can save you, especially that grape.

I like the idea of this game! It was fun to play, but maybe a little too difficult. The jump mechanic felt really good! Nice job! :)

Developer

Thanks! I tried to make the game difficult without each character's mechanic but modestly challenging with them but I may have gone a bit overboard on difficulty, especially on level 6.

Love the different things the 3 orphans do after death (that doesn't feel right saying that lol) Make the music loop cleaner and the controls a bit easer to use and this would be amazing!

I'd appreciate it if you would have a play of mine!

I love it! The concept is great, although the controls can be a bit finicky.
