The best visuals I've ever seen in games. Cool idea, and it works as needed. Totally like it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! The artist , a.k.a. me , is really happy haha
Wow, thank you so much! That means a lot!
I’m really happy you liked!
It's a great concept for a game, and was fun to play.
Most roguelikes I get really upset at the fact that I HAVE to die to beat it, but this one did it really well by leaning into the utility aspect of good roguelikes and and not the "Grind" aspect. Instead of dying so your character can get stronger, death is a tool, and you need to be sure not to overuse it.
Very good balance :)
That’s awesome!! I’m really glad to hear that, and I really appreciate your comment!!
And yeah, using it too much can definitely cause some big problems hahaha.
When we were making the game, one of the funniest things I did was fill the screen with characters just to watch the chaos unfold. Thanks a lot for the feedback!!
Thanks! I’m so happy you liked how we approached death, it’s all about using it smartly, not endlessly
This game one of the best games in the jam!
The puzzles are amazing it gets Five big booms!
Five big booms?! That’s the best rating I’ve ever gotten 😂
Thanks a lot, super happy you liked it!
Great game! I really liked the art, the water was a cool effect, and the level doors remind me of Kirby games. I managed to get all the stars except for the third to last level- can't figure out how to get under the death max. I like how you did the mechanic though, it was similar to some others I've seen but with a unique twist on it by giving you options of bodies that do different things to help navigate the levels. I really enjoyed the puzzles, they were all clever and it felt good solving them. I do think it would have been nice to have something in the level that tells me my target death max from the get go, there was one level I spent a while trying to figure out how to keep it at 2 max, before just giving up and then finding out that the max was upped to 4 the whole time. Also had a bug where dropping the skeleton in a one unit wide spike hole caused it to glitch into the floor. Overall though, really good game.
Thanks a ton for the awesome feedback! 😄
Glad you liked the mechanics and how the puzzles came together — that was one of my favorite parts to design.
And yep, you nailed it: one of the spike pits in that level does swallow the skeleton alive 😭
Also totally agree about showing the death goal upfront — definitely on my fix list!
Very fun little game! very polished too, as well as creative use of the theme, great work!
Haha thank you! I might’ve spent a little too much time polishing for a jam 😅 but I’m happy it paid off!
SILLY LITTLE GUYS! Very impressive given the time for the jam!
Thanks a lot! Silly little guys doing their best haha
Beautiful game! Reminds me an Animal Well. Great work!
Thank you so much! That’s such a huge compliment — Animal Well is an amazing game
This was a lot of fun! Loved figuring out the mechanic and how it fit the theme, lot of fun little platforming puzzles to figure out! Great job!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you had fun figuring things out
The visuals for this are really great! I'm not much of a platformer but the idea and mechanics were really cool!
Haha that’s awesome to hear! I totally get that platformers aren’t for everyone, so it’s really cool that the mechanics still grabbed your interest
AMAZING twist on the death part by making characters change to enemies and using their ability, visually pleasing and the sound effects and the lighting are incredible. would love to see more levels to play
Thanks a lot! I’m so glad you enjoyed the concept and the vibe
More levels are definitely on the list!
BRO WHAT, HUH???
How does all this get made in 5 days?? There’s so much content, fun mechanics, and seriously, the art is amazing. The reflections in the water are beautiful!!
Only thing is it’s a bit buggy here and there (mostly when restarting levels), but that’s super minor. only big issue is some audio, I noticed sometimes it bugs out? but otherwise I absolutely love this game, and I’d totally pay for a full version with more levels, this was really fun!! Amazing work <3
Haha I know right, those 5 days were pure chaos 😅
Really happy you liked it! The audio issues are definitely something I’ll polish — WebGL can be tricky sometimes.
Thanks so much for the kind words and support! ❤️
Loved the crunchy sfx + the artstyle is really appealing, left you a detailed feedback on your comment on our post:

We would love you to check out our game and leave some feedback as well:
The levels system reminded me of battleblock theatre! Had fun playing this one, however couldn't figure out how to 3 star the 2nd to last level!
Haha you’re totally right — turns out that one star is actually impossible to get 😅
I accidentally uploaded a version with a tiny bug there… what a cruel twist haha!
I LOVE the visuals on this! I did notice that there is some buggy audio, but I didn’t play the web version, so it might be fixed there. I’m also a sucker for puzzle games, so I’ll probably come back and play the all that y’all have to offer with this one!
Thank you so much! Really glad you liked the visuals 😄
And yeah, the audio went a bit rogue in the final build — a few of the music tracks just vanished into the void (five of them, actually 😅).
We’ll be fixing that and polishing the sound soon!
This was by far the best looking game I played so far in the jam. It gives a strong animal well feeling. The level design is great too. Great job.
Please rate out game if possible.
Thank you so much! That’s such a huge compliment — Animal Well is a big inspiration 😄
Really glad you enjoyed the level design too! I’ll definitely check out your game as well!
looks awesome and the gameplay is great! 10/10
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it
This was amazing! The graphics are absolutely gorgeous! The Halloween vibes are so cozy and perfect in this one! The only thing that sort of stuck out to me was the 'win screen' as it didn't seem to fit as well with the rest of the games graphics, but other than that it was perfect! Really amazing job and great take on the theme!! :D
Haha I totally agree with you on that one 😅
The menus and win screen were made right at the end, and honestly, we weren’t very happy with them either haha.
Definitely planning to remake them properly from scratch later on!
WOW! I'm from TermiNera, you commented on our game and I said I'd check yours out. And I'm definitely glad I did-- The visuals, the music and the UI all come together so nicely! I can totally see this being a full game I'd play. Left you a rating, wishing you the best!
Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate you stopping by to check it out 😄
That means a lot — and I’m super glad you enjoyed the vibe!
Wishing you the best with TermiNera too, you guys did an awesome job!
Of course! It's great to see such passionate games, this is my first ever GameJam and seeing stuff like this makes it super rewarding!
Haha thanks!! I’m really happy you liked how it looks
That reaction made my day!
Amazing art, game feels super polished as well, Great work!
Haha thanks! I tried to squeeze as much polish as possible into those few days
