This is a nice game. I noticed i was getting stuck in certain places after making a lot of progress forcing me to restart but all in all, i liked the game. The "Try a Corpse Pile" part really got me the first time. Who knew dying would be so useful in game?👏👏

Yeah, it's a little janky which is why the reset button even exists haha. And unfortunately, that's probably not going to get fixed by release. I made an attempt to do a movement pass and to fix getting stuck in walls and corpses, and I ended up breaking movement completely. So I reverted back to the old buggy movement code that at least still worked haha JK I fixed it. It was a sprite mask problem :)

But I have set a limit of 5 corpses (for now, I might set it higher) so at the very least if you are ever stuck because of a corpse on the respawn point or something you can just die over and over and eventually it'l be cleared😅

I think it is a great game. The changes you made certainly made the game more enjoyable. The artwork is awesome btw.

👋 Hey!

I just played your game and I really enjoyed it — it was fun and engaging! 🎮

I wanted to share my game with you too — it's called Jumpimal 🐾

It's a cute and fast-paced jumping game I made during GMTK Jam.

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you get a chance to try it!

I’d also be happy to give more feedback on your game if you’d like.

Thanks a lot, and best of luck in the jam! 🍀
