Really creative idea! Love how you have to place your past lives in the correct place every time! I wish you had the opportunity to replay just the last life without having to restart everything. Too many times it happened to me that I had evrything lined up perfectly and then I missed a jump and blocked the whole way....but maybe that's the fun of the game? hahah

How does your game fit the theme?
You have 9 lives, but each life runs after a short countdown leaving a body you can platform on, each life has a longer countdown

I found the meaning of life!
Great job on this game! It hit the theme and was challenging!
Lovely game! I like alot of the levels, solved some of them on my last life which was quite intense! wish I could go fullscreen but either way it's nice!
the idea of making platforms from your lost life is really neat! the third level in particular is quite challenging for me since you have to make perfectly placed platforms in a strict time limit to reach the goal at the top. It's a good game, go try it!
As each life is lost, the survival time increases. Combined with the mechanic of turning into a platform upon death, the two work together brilliantly and add a lot of challenge to the game!
I can confirm. Yarn is indeed the meaning of life.
Catnip second
hard! timing the jumps felt really tricky, maybe you can go slow-mo while in the air? appreciate the design of giving later lives more time
Planning your own death is a key skill in this game. Love it! Also, cool ghost cat!
I like it! its a cool concept when you die to leave behind something to use to help progress!
I was surprised by this one! The main mechanic is actually really cool. Also the ending lol
Nice job with everything, a really creative take on the theme. the art and music work well together, and it's all in all a fun platformer.
Spoilers for anyone who doesn't want to see the ending:
I got the yarn ball ending with a time 7:59.11
I find it funny that both our games focus on cat's nine lives (I couldn't find any free rigged cat models tho, so for now my protagonist is an alien) and using past lives corpses as platforming equipment.
