454 deaths. I can still hear Grandpa's scream inside my brain........ neat art and adding elemets to bgm was great. The game was challenging but short and intuitive enough to keep playing!

Nice work on the adaptive soundtrack! Sadly, I couldn’t beat the last level. I found the physic rather frustrating, especially for the grappling-hook. So the tight platforming, mixed with timer, makes it really challenging. But this challenging issue aside, I like the concept! It kinda feels like a triathlon, and it’s cool like it encourages speed-running and searching for optimisations.

I got 72 deaths but if you squint hard enough it looks like 12... Awesome game and awesome art!

The game's controls are so tight and the whole narrative is pretty touching and full with symbolism. Although i felt the counter made the levels which are pretty hard already even harder, so maybe a smoother difficulty curve would've been nice. One note i have is that the man's jump sfx kinda sounded like he was about to throw up, which made me pretty uncomfortable and queasy ngl. Although i suppose that's the point? good game and well done!

Cool concept that could be polished into a puzzle x skill platfomer! Loved the art and the detail of the audio getting more intruments as you get younger! :D
