How does the game fit the theme?
In order to win you have to trust the words and tombstones left behind by other players. And you have to decide whether you will be trustworthy yourself.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
A few small easter egg sprites from my previous games.

How many people worked on the game?

Very creative game! Also kinda morbid if u think about it, since using other people's gravestones as stepping stones ;-;

Submitted

Interesting, the way is blocked by so much tombstone, that I don't tnik it is possible to get trough, but the concept is really interesting.

Submitted

Fantastic game, Best I’ve seen so far. Didn’t get that far, but it’s such a great concept.

Submitted

Not one for cat lovers! Interesting idea for the theme. Wish I had more time to play this game.

A cute and philosophical platformer. I liked the way the game randomizes tombstones left behind by previous players, leaving things a little certain. I couldn't quite get to the end but I'll revisit.

Submitted

The message of this game was great and the concept of having previous players alter the level is amazing! Sadly couldn't beat it but enjoyed it very much!

Submitted

Something tells me, that there are more secrets to discover in here...

Let us just say that exploration and curiousity is dangerous but rewarding

I really liked the little messages. Also the unique gameplay.  Very nice.

First game so far I actually wanted to keep playing

So cute! I especially love this kind of multiplayer game that doesn’t really feel like a multiplayer game. I got blown up by bombs more times than I’d like to admit… and, well, I may have left a few little surprises behind for the next players too. 😈💣

Wow! This is such a cool idea! I couldn't get very far because there were too many tombstones blocking the way, but I had fun trying to find alternate paths and being part of building a big pile to get over the problem area. Super unique. I loved it!

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the idea. I spent a lot of time setting up the backend server to make this work.

If you get unlucky with your tombstones, you can always reload the game and get a new set, or explode yourself to push them away.

(There is also a secret pooping action - and you can move tombstones slightly using your cat poops)

I like that you can choose between helping or trolling other players. The transition to stars was very smooth.

The idea is really inovative! It is a nice call on the theme. Unfortunatelly, some paths are already blocked by previous players, so i could not have the full experience

this is so cool, and i can also play on my phone somehow?? but the idea is so original, i genuinely loved it and i will come back to play again for sure!!

Submitted

This is very original, I love how we can see other players graves and messages (and trick each other lmao) !

Submitted
