Cool concept, very interesting twist on the clone gameplay. Played on android, thanks for android version.
I'm not sure if gore served any purpose. Same gameplay could've worked without it. And its not explained by story. But I guess story is implied trough the atmosphere and environment.
Camera work is amazingly executed and controls works perfectly.
Spoilers ahead
I really liked the ending. After tons of repeating gameplay and realising levels are repeating I got very frustrated and spammed "restart" button, and getting out of loop just by shear mass of pilling body felt satisfying. Reminded me of particular episode of some super hero TV show (will not be spoiling it here but who knows will get it)
Loved the twist of using your corpse as a platform. Very creative concept. One thing I was not a big fan of was having to redo multiple levels in a row after entering the same door in one of those big rooms with multiple doors. It stalled my progress, and I got a bit frustrated. But I like the execution of the idea and the low-res art style.
Played on android and thought it was pretty cool! There wasn't really a way to cleanly exit the game but it's a jam so whatever. Using the bodies as platforms was fun and I love ragdoll mechanics in any game. Great job!
The game is really nice and well made, it’s hard to tell if it’s looping or moving into new stages, which adds a mysterious and intriguing feeling. The multiple paths to reach the door also kept the experience fresh and engaging. There are just a couple of things that, in my opinion, could improve the game even more. Adding some spooky music or ambient sounds could really enhance the atmosphere and give it a stronger creepy vibe, and some more challenges, like floating platforms to jump on carefully to cross.
I also noticed one issue, when the player dies on spikes, sometimes player can use the previous body as a platform to jump across to the other side. I’m not sure if this was intentional or a bug, but just thought I’d point it out.
Other than that, I really loved playing the game.
Using previous body as platform was intentional. I was gonna add music but i didnt had much time for that but thanks for suggesting!
I played the Android version on my phone — the mobile controls felt really good!
I felt bad for the poor guy who had to die like 50 times just so I could make it to the next room.
Took me way too long to realize I was going in circles. Overall, a solid game! :)
I'd really appreciate it if you could check out my game too.
