How does the game fit the theme?
I took the theme as a challenge, or perhaps.. a threat?
Can't Lose is a minimalist puzzle platformer where the game really wants you to win, so the question is, how can you lose?
If you get stuck on a level the name is usually a bit of a clue, if you're still stuck you can always press esc to return to the menu and use the level select to skip
Also, just out of curiosity, leave a comment if you complete the last level, i'm a little worried its a bit tricky to work out
*** Thank you to everyone who's played so far, and thank you for all the feedback! I won't update the game during the Jam, but i am working on improving the feel of the game right now, and have a fair few new level ideas i would like to try out after the Jams finished***
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Really cool concept and plenty fun ideas in terms of level design, I love how names are hints!
The concept is really cool. teh only thing is that the controls feel bad. its easy to slip but difficult to land becasue you go overboard with speed but you decelerate instantly so you have to get the timing really right. besides braking instantly doesn't feel natural it feels clunky. But the concept is really good and thats probably the most difficult part, so good job
It seems very simple, but also very interesting. So far one of the games that has drawn me in for a long time.
Cool game, the puzzles are smart and creative, I thought it was really cool when the rules switched! I only had a few issues with the characer controller, I felt the jump fas too floaty and the movement felt slippy, but overall the game was really good and the music was cool too :)
I loved the puzzles ideas. Even though it's a well established game style, you came up with some really interesting puzzle ideas :)
Amazing "level-devil"-like game. Loving it, thx for game
Clever level design! :D I enjoyed, well done!
Clever game with some nice twists in each level, really liked it ! Congrats !
Really tight gameplay and I love the concept you have going on! Reminiscent of old flash and mobile games like Impossible Quiz and I Wanna Be The Guy. Really smartly designed puzzles and very satisfying when you solve them!
really enjoyable game.
Fun concept, loved the fact that u had to try to loose, especially when the gamer in me says u have to win
Fun concept! Some of the levels were pretty tricky. Good job!
This game was almost perfect, the level design was just delightful. I just hated the controls, I felt that they hindered me too much when I knew what to do. Still, an amazing game! pretty fun!
This game is very fun!
I love this game.
Level 13 got me so long to figure out XD, loved the game, interesting levels, each focusing on something new, i liked that a lot. The movement could use a little more work. Great job!
I will do anything to lose! I always love platformers with some gameplay twists.
The humor in this game is amazing! I was dying laughing during the first few levels. What a funny and great concept! It fits the theme perfectly, and I had a blast playing it. The levels were well-designed—not too punishing. The color palette was great, though adding more pixel art would elevate it even further.
I especially loved the sneaky levels and figuring out what to do in each one. It was so satisfying to be a “loser” in this game! The idea and level design were impressive and original. I’m stuck on level 15, though—every obstacle disappears when I get close. Maybe the controls could be a bit more polished for comfort, but otherwise, amazing work!
For level 15, you need to check the instructions (as per the level title)
Oh, that makes sense — I’ll give it another try! The level design is so clever. By the way, if you have some time to check out our game and share your feedback, I’d really appreciate it. A big hug!
I will do anything to loose! I always love these platformers with some gameplay twists.
I'm finally a loser XDDDD
love the humor of this game xD
