I've played a number of games from this jam where you had to use your corpses to get through the world, but this is the first time that A. the corpses are used SPECIFICALLY to break fall damage, and B. I had to try and remember which way I went. This is a lot of fun! What a fresh take on the theme. Going to have to play this even more.

We all really enjoyed this one! It’s such a simple yet fun little game, the originality of the controls really stood out, and rolling down the hills was super satisfying, haha. We also loved the use of the coat and the signs that reveal bits of lore along the way!! Really sweet touch.
If we had one suggestion, it’d be to add a bit more gameplay variety? maybe some obstacles, slopes that change your speed, or interactable elements to spice things up. Still, as it is, this was a charming and creative little experience. Great work!

Haha yes! Thats exactly what I strived to achieve! Thanks a lot for playing and the kind words!
This is an interesting and fun game, I have never played something like this before haha :)
I liked the visuals, the transition from snow to grass was nice, the music never felt repetitive for me and the audio was nice, not loud or quiet, it was at a good spot
About the gameplay, I’m happy you put a way to look up what was below, this made the game fair and not just a blind jump fest which can be a common problem in platformers, so this was a great point. The jacket being a safe spot for falling is funny and good, I think it could be a little buggy at slopes but outside of that, it always worked and I like this because it reflects the theme of the jam. Also there is like a little bug that rarely happens at the start of each play, where after the 1st death, you are unable to move but once you jump you can control the character again, I don’t know how to replicate it…
In my 1st play I thought you could easily skip the signs but at the end I saw you could see how many there are which it’s a good point to make the game replayable, I played again and got all the signs. And rarely I jumped, I see there are areas where you can jump but I felt that if you fell down and repeated the path was easier or faster than jumping to explore
It was short but it was a fun experience, good game. :D

Wow thank you so much for your detailed experience and feedback! I loved reading through it. I’m super glad you enjoyed my design choices such as being able to look down, it’s so nice to hear that those small choices actually mattered to someone.
