Our game had a similar idea but I was amazed with the execution! Having to "restart" and keep the last changes is a great mechanic! I would just add an undo button and an "undo to last revive" button, the game is engaging and difficult but in a good way, it really got me thinking!

Edit: Also great level amount and difficulty curve! We didn't have enough time for designing the puzzles so great job!

It was interesting when I found out the game wasn't over after I ran out of steps.

Fun game. I liked the challenge. I really overthought one of the middle levels. The puzzles could stand on their own, but the added art, audio, and visuals combine into a nice package. I am wondering if the music was a little creepy on purpose, given that the previous lives are dying to let one of the next ones succeed. Really well executed for your first game jam and finished game!

Was struggling to get passed the first level until I read a comment that said you could use multiple lives to solve the puzzle haha. I must be exhausted from the Jam this weekend 🤦‍♀️ lmao. Very cute game, and clever mechanics and puzzles!

Good puzzle crafting. I love that you NEED multiple lives in order to finish a puzzle. It'd be cool to have a stats page at the end of every level to see how many lives it took you compared to the average person

The background music made me feel relaxed. A well-balanced level of difficulty. It was fun to play. Congratulations on finishing the game and on the great idea 😃

I really liked how challenging and engaging some of the levels were. I felt it was a good balance of difficulty.
