This was very cool great use of the classic mechanic "use your own dead body".
the dialogues was a bit long for such game in my taste i believe the ration should be around 1 to 5 (10 sec dialogue 50 sec gameplay) or something
other than that loved everything, the artstyle controls and puzles

Developer

Noted! Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the game!

Absolutely amazing! I loved everything about this! The story was beautiful, the animations were great, and the whole vibe was just impeccable! The music and sounds were equally amazing. The gameplay was really cool and super fun. The puzzles were really clever and they never felt unfair or confusing. All in all, I loved this! Nice work!

Developer

Thank you, we're glad you had a great experience playing our game!!

With flawless visuals and perfect music, I absolutely adore it—this is destined to be one of the best games. The protagonist constantly reminds me of House—not sure if the developer is familiar with that game. The only drawback is that the jumping feels a bit off, especially when the character hits the ceiling—the recoil feels unnatural.

Developer

We were not familiar with House, but we will check it out! Noted about the jumping! Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it!

WOW! This game is super good! I really love the aesthetic of the art, the environment is super pretty and the portrait art is really nice too, but WOW, those pixel art movement animations are so smooth, I love it! The puzzles are really fun too, they're just the right difficulty for me to enjoy them but not completely fry my brain which is nice! The movement is also pretty nice, but I feel as though that's more down to the very smart level design! This is really good, awesome work!

Thank you! It's great to hear the difficulty of the puzzles were just right! I'm glad you enjoyed!

The game isn’t really working on my phone rn but from what I’ve seen and read it looks AMAZING rated and will play properly on my pc later :) if you haven’t I would love if you check out our game “Dying for a Raise”!

Developer

Yea, we weren't able to make it compatible with mobile :(  Hope you got to play it on your PC in the end!

Good lord how deep does this rabbit hole go?!?! The style, the gameplay, the music, the sound, this game has EVERYTHING! The puzzles have a good challenge balance and the gameplay feels rewarding with an intriguing story to boot. And the ART. Guh. Everything. This is so so good.

Developer

Thank you!!

Developer

Developer(+1)

Yes, glad you noticed! Thanks for playing! 

Submitted

Great game! How did you animate the pixel art? it looked really dynamic.

Other than that the vibe was there, the music was neat, the puzzles were great and I had a lot of fun playing your game!

Good job!

Developer(+2)

I did the animations using Aseprite. Just lots of frames and subtle pixel changes to make it as smooth as possible! Thanks for playing our game, glad you enjoyed the puzzles/music : )

Submitted

Some of the best pixel art in the jam! It reminds me of that game Markiplier played where you have to find all the ways to die. I'll reply when I remember what it's called 😅!

Submitted

House - 1001 ways to die!!

Developer

Thanks for playing our game! Btw, the art on your game is gorgeous! The theme and writing are very touching too. Well done! 

Submitted

I really loved the visuals for this one! I couldn't believe how smooth some of the animations were, you guys did a real good job! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and the kind words!

Liked the art for the characters when talking, nice and short, and now I'm sad that I finished it already

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your nice comment! 

Submitted

Very cool game, love the art and narrative. One of the puzzles had me stuck for a while because it took me a long time to fully understand the corpse expiration mechanic, but I blame myself for that.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

so cool! the writing is great, the art is for death and crew is so sick, and the puzzles are really well balanced
it's really fun to play

death is an opportunity, to escape its labyrinth!

Developer

Thank you!

FINALLY got round to playing your game and it was so worth it, the animations and style was delicious and reminded me of "House" Not to menton the actual gameplay and puzzles were quite enjoyable! Very awesome entry, well done guys!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! That means a lot coming from the creator of Trink, your game is awesome btw! 

Submitted

Really entertaining, the Atari graphics are charming and good, the puzzles are neat and make you think a bit, a bit gross sounds when you die would have been fun! Keep developing the idea of the game because it's promising!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Upgraded SFX and overall sound design is on our list to update, so you'll get that foul death sound for sure. 

Submitted(+1)

Pushing corpses was a nice twist to this formula! I love the narrative as well!
Maybe i would add some cayote time to the jumps, and a grab mechanic.
 But great work :)

Developer

Absolutely, thank you for playing and the feedback!

Submitted

Really charming artwork! Interesting puzzles and I love that some of them have multiple solutions! I was hooked to it and really loved the execution of this game! Good job on that!
