How does your game fit the theme?
Every time the player dies, a corpse is left behind, and that corpse becomes a tool: to press buttons, block traps, or open doors. If the player dies again, another body is added to the level. Over and over, the cycle continues. This creates a clever loop where each death is part of the solution. You’re not punished for dying — you build on your past deaths to progress

I liked the game, it was short and sweet! My only complain was that the corpses often spawned off-set from my death location, which was a little weird, but everything else was awesome. Good game!!
Am happy to hear that you liked my game thx and i willfix that in the upcoming updates follow me if you want to play more levels (;
This is a cute concept that I definitely think can be improved with more tweaking. First of all, I definitely think the audio cue for the player dying should be in a lower pitch, because the high pitch of the sound doesn't make the dying have weight. Aside from that, this was a very enjoyable little game, with some nice and simple puzzles. Really solid work!
thank you so much for your feedback and i will work harder with my game just wait for the upcoming updates 🫡
very nice art design and really solid execution of this concept!
thank you so much i am happy to hear that
Getting strong that level again vibes. Encountered some bugs. Music was lacking.
Hey, saw your post in the discord. It's fun! It doesn't seem to let me be able to leave a corpse on the button itself, I have to leave one beside it and then push it on my next life. It also seems to disappear on it's own before I make a new corpse. This is in the browser build by the way. Music would also help out with player enjoyment. Congrats on great jam!
thx for your feedback i will fix everything after the jam ends and if i dont delete the sorpse after some time you will see some lage and read the credits to know why am not using music in my game
I enjoyed it! There are plenty of concepts like this, and I enjoy each one! I like the art style of the game, and it has quite a few bugs and few levels. With more time, this would've definitely been a great game, but still, great job!

thank you so much i really apperciate ur feedback and i will fix and improve the game further
The core of the game is fine; but, as others have said, it could be improved (and there are bugs to deal with).
For a first game jam submission, this is decent.
I would be interested to see what the game looks like with more time.
Thx for your feedback and yes i will improve it after the jam ends you can follow me to see the upcoming updates (:
Good game, I like the idea of dying and using your old character.
thx, i am happy to hear that you liked my game
can you rate my game
also is this your reddit

yes its mine u came from there?
yes
Looks like we had similar ideas for the jam this year. I really like your take on it!
lol.. I will fix that in the upcoming updates (follow me)
I liked the idea, but I feel it could have been implemented in a better way. Most of the time you're not actually "dying" to progress, you're just pressing k to leave a box and retry, which is also a little buggy. Still, I think it's a nice idea that you can work on after the jam ends
I apperciate ur feedback and yeah, its a little buggy because its my first game jam and 4 d is a short time but i will fix everything after the jam ends. If u can folow me to play the new coming version of the game thats will be great thank you anyway
Press K with quick again!Funny game
The concept is a great idea !
I like the concept of this game, and the level design is... to be honest, it's kind of mediocre. The walls that you phase through are a bit annoying, and I kinda wish there was some indication of them (although I'm sure better art would help). The levels are well-designed aside from that. Also, the corpses are placed a bit to the left of your body every time, which makes pressing buttons far more difficult than it should be. Good job though, it's a solid base for a puzzle platformer!
tysm i apperciate ur feedback and the issues because i had only 4 days i will fix all the bugs and polish the art after the end of the jam follow me if u want to play the new updates (coming soon)
I really like this! It's a shame Ive played games with a similar mechanic before - but I really like the execution! There was a bug I encountered where the bodies always were left in the wrong position - oops! Overall, neat game!
thx Frev for your feedback and am so happy thats u liked my game and about the bodies that was in testing then i forget to fix the bodies position i will fix all bugs after the jam ends i will be happy if u play the new update i will work on
