This is a really fun and creative concept! The game is nice to control and moving around and throwing around bodies to make platforms and barriers was satisfying. Dying while holding a body is a bit of an oddball mechanic - it feels like it could be used for a cool puzzle or two, but I didn't end up using it anywhere past the level where it was introduced.

This might genuinely be the most creative concept on this game jam. Amazing job!

A very unique concept! The platforming feels good, my only problem is that sometime bodies get stuck too deep in the spikes when throwing and there is no way to retrieve them; other than that I had fun, well done!

finished the game cool but needs more good throwing mechanics

While it is starting to become a more common mechanic I think using previous/dead instances of yourself to platform is still a really cool mechanic, my only real criticism is, that there should maybe be a bit more of a tutorial in game, as I had to look at the description to properly figure out, how to throw bodies, maybe just adding something hinting towards you being able to press e to do something would be great, the dying and countdown mechanic is really intuitive though.

I always love this genre of dying => progress games. This is really well executed, the graphics are nice and the 8 bit sounds complement them well. The mechanic progression is well executed as well.

I just wish the reset button was more accessible, as pressing escape exits fullscreen in browser, so to reset you’d have to ESC -> ESC -> Restart -> Fullscreen, which was a pain.

It was also a bit frustrating to lose all progress when you died after the counter hit 0, I wish it didn’t reset progress, and let you carry on without placing a new corpse

Saw this on a friends collection and it is such a cool idea! For me it was a little hard tbh but if you spend enough time it iis definitely doable

A game where your most precious resouce is... the pile of your own dead bodies!

I liked the ability to pick up and throw my bodies to make interesting new platforms.

The concept is very creative, never seen anything like this before. Also cool levels and mechanics.
