Fun game. The controls could have been better, but I really liked the pixel art. Also the main menu music was really irritating for me. And there's a bug when you can pause in the main menu too.

How does your game fit the theme?
Whenever you die (an end), you take the body of whatever killed you (a new beginning).
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the assets are from scratch but some of the mouse code is from a Pico-8 Forum.

It didn't have the best tutorial so I failed to understand how to fight at first not to mention the need for n and m for interacting wasn't really necessary, you could have just had n or m and not both. Otherwise it is a fun little game with an interesting concept, if you could choose who you can spawn as when you die and know the strengths and weaknesses of each character would make it even more interesting.

Universe ManagerCool concept! There's something really satisfying to a game that incorporates death into the gameplay and you did a great job doing that! I think the controls were a little unintuitive but it seems like you already know that, and I think a few more levels to really feel the difference of those upgrades would be awesome. Great job!

Ewe Shall Not PassHey fun game! I thought the concept was cool and if you even expanded it to a full game you could have so many badguys and it could be strategic to lose to certain enemies to get their abilities or something! My only feedback would be if the mouse can click that fast, lower the pitch of the shooting sound so it's not quite as piercing! Overall, great work!

Lirby Ground WalkerI WON but at what price??? Mouse NEEDS some clicking limit.
Game was fun, controls were super crappy. I stayed and undead wolf until the end because his barking would do damage... 10/10

Miles From HomeNice arcade feel to the game in terms of mini-pixel art and music! Reminded me a little of Only One. Got a bit confused at the start because of the mouse cursor, which didn't select anything for me.

New BeginningsThe controls were completely different than what it said but once i figured them out, this was a nice entry with interesting mechanics and a cool boss fight

Slight AlterationsFun game! But I wish it was longer and had more smoother control. Give my game a try!

The legend of MoraThis is a banger of a game and is criminally underrated. Absolutely amazing job on this one. My only gripe is that I wish it was longer, but of course I understand why it isn't. Again- fantastic job.
