Really creative interpretation of the theme with the eyes being the X's and O's! :D
Cute little possum and fox sprites! The audio loop resets a little too frequently; I'm not sure if it needed to reset for every death (maybe just a sound effect instead?).
The playing-dead mechanic is fun, and I do like the speed boost and motion you get in that state! If you were interested in expanding it into a full game, I think there's a lot of potential in having the player rely a lot more on how they can move while playing dead. I replayed it a few times trying to see different ways I could get through some parts of the levels while relying more on the slide rather than the platforms :)
Thank you for sharing!! Great work!
