I didn’t realize that I can play dead on my first playthrough, so I accidentally completed it on hard mode :D It’s a really fun and creative interpretation of the theme. Loved the music choice! Is it also a creative commons asset, or did you compose it yourself?

I absolutely loved the idea behind this. Really cute and clever use of the theme! I especially loved that you could play dead while walking and just slide past the fox in the second level.
Nice take on the theme! cute possum. It should have had more levels >:(
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!
nice!
quite cute! I like the dead state is roll over with crosses on the eyes lol
I really like the mechanics. The little Boost that you get when you play dead gives the gameplay more control and less control at the same time xD. Nice theme interpretation
