I absolutely can't believe that this was your first game! Great mechanics, really cool stick style art, funny story and writing, and an overall quality game that I really enjoyed playing! Great job!

I made the game concept centred around hangman, which I felt was thematically appropriate. You begin the game just having been saved from near-death! And in the final level, you lose body parts instead of dying immediately.

Amazing game.
1, I think the Extreme obstacles are a bit too Extreme.
2, I thought that fire would kill me.
Besides these, Amazing game.
I would be very happy if you would play my game.
Very good artstyle! The hangman theme really shines through. The gameplay itself could have lasted a little longer, but it's good that it doesn't last too long too. Short and sweet, so to say.
This was awesome!!! I love the humor!!! The payoff after defeating him was awesome too -love that victory art xD Fantastic creative game!! :D
Liked the concept! It's great that no pixels! Stylish art! Who wrote the music?
Thank you so much! Here's the attribution for the music:

Really cool concept and art style, and the music was groovy! I had a really hard time progressing because sometimes when I tried to jump, he would kind of just "stutter" and fall off the edge. I initially thought maybe you had coded it for varying jump heights (so you can tap the spacebar for a short jump, and hold the spacebar for a high jump), but it didn't seem to make any difference. Figure that one issue out and I think you've got a great game, definitely awesome for your first game.
The game has really good style is really well writen, but the window of the web version was to small so I couldn't see the left part of the text boxes.
Cool entry with lovely art, really good stuff for a first jam game.
There was a few things that could be improved that should be noted, the text was all over the place, if your using unity there is a option in the UI canvas to make UI scale with screen size. That would have helped alot here I think. Jumping felt... bizarre too it almost felt like I had negative coyote time (Coyote time being a time after you fall off a platform where you can still input a jump).
Again the art and concept was great, but it has some things that could be improved. For a first jam entry this seemed really ambitious and its honestly impressive how much you did. Fantastic work! keep it up.
you should put a full screen button in the game page! other than that, i really liked the idea of removing body parts when receiving damage. Good job! (p.s. , put a white background under the letters, or they will mix with the background)
Hey! this games v neat its got a rly clear art style to it and i think the concept is super inventive, i also really liked the final level, the fact that your last body part is the cool sunglasses made me laugh. I think other people have pointed out the issues but yeah the early platformer is kinda hard, a friend who watched me play pointed out it might be related to the fact that its random, i kinda had to wait for a turn where it was easier. Also there are some issue with cropping in the browser.
Okay so we all know the platforming is impossible, but I think the visuals and the plot has charm to it. The boss fight at the end made up for the problems at the start. The text boxes were somewhat out of frame, but we all suffer from it time to time.
Okay that was actually very fun! Good job on your first game, the concept has potential but be careful as the Text box seems to go out of the screen preventing me to read most of what npcs say :'(
Really great game! nice visuals! nothing really bad that i can tell about it.. however the jumping was a little delayed and a jump buffer would have been nice!
I had a real hard time with this one, the theme was really neat but the platformer wrecked me. I must have died at least 30 times around the first A I made it kinda far a few times but I noticed sometimes when I'm moving I'd press space and not jump. Also got stuck on a fireball a few times and couldn't get back up not sure if that was intentional.
Pretty cool game tho!
