You really nailed the theme. You learn the mechanics instantly which is great. Graphics look very polished for a jam game. Controls feel a bit slow. I wish it was more responsive and had some more weight to it, if you know what I mean. Sound design is ok, but wish it was more immersive and had more effects (like jump sound). Level design was also great and challenging. Overall, good job!

This is a very fun to play game! It's pretty unique in how it handles the theme. Each level was different and engaging. Weak points are perhaps the controls, especially jumping, and the sound design.
Really good game! Fitted the theme perfectly and was a lot of fun! Graphics where okey, and unfortunately I was able to hear any sound :/ And the only thing that bordered me a lot was the fact that when you stand on an edge you can't jump. This is probably cased by the fact that the jump raycast is casted from the middle of the model. You could try to cast two rays, on each side and if one is true eneable jumping. But still the game I did enjoyed the most until not!

Played on this stream here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/344558693##
Great job on this! Great execution of the theme. The gameplay was fun- a small bit frustrating, but I enjoyed it. Nice job :D

I love the mood! The music is great. Control were at moments quite tricky and levels a bit too long, but it's a nice game.

Great job om the theme. I think that you are using the default Unity physics which makes object fall really slow, so I'd probably try to tweak that in the future so you get better control when your jumping. All in all a great game. Thanks for streaming other peoples games :)
Hey, thanks for streaming my game, it was fun to watch. I played Suicide Sanctum and I thought it was a very clever interpretation of the theme! I like the idea of sacrificing your player to form new platforms to jump on - don't think I've seen that before so high on innovation for me. I would not have thought about freezing them in midair as you get hit by an arrow because my mind goes "why do they stay in the air??" - but you'd have to go through too many deaths to build up a mound to of corpses so I can see why you implemented such a solution. Fun game, thanks for making it!

Nice job, even though a bit classical in its approach to the theme. The music was nice and so were the sounds!

I got frustrated and briefly softlocked by some of the arrow puzzles, it's very difficult and annoying to time those correctly, so I didn't play much beyond 7 levels. I like the atmosphere though, and the gold bag being red when you're not ready to leave yet vs glowing green when you can continue to the next level. I think the very first level which required no deaths was a bit unnecessary; the second level does a well enough job of both communicating the gold bag = goal message as well as introducing the stepping on your own bodies mechanic.
Well polished game -a bit on the shallow side, but very intuitive (as opposed to my own :wink: )

Nice riddles, took me some time to beat level 5. For the spikes only level, maybe add a life limit, so you have to think where you want to die instead of just creating a road of corpses. I like this game :). Btw. it is a bit slow on Ubuntu 16.04 with Chromium 70.0. Maybe it does not use the GPU. Can Play Pillars of Eternity 2 on this Box quite fine.
Holy moly were those spear levels difficult, haha. But I prevailed! Nice game. c:
Thanks for playing mine on your stream the other day, too! I see what you meant when you said yours was similar to the one with the grapes that you also played on the stream. It's a neat concept! I'm sure it can be expanded on post-jam with more mechanics and challenges and whatnot!
Very feature-complete for a jam game. Mechanics, graphics and audio and even a bunch of levels, which is at least where I usually start having some real trouble.
Great work!
I loved this platformer! Nice graphics and music. The game idea is fun. You made a great job, congrats! :D

Hey, saw this on stream multiple time, and had to try it by myself!
I really love the concept, it's pretty literal on the theme but works really well. Some levels are quite hard, but not unfair! (except for the part where you just don't see the arrow coming from the dark haha)
Also really great mood, the music fits well! Overall a great entry, would love to see the post-jam version :)

Very fun game, goes great with the theme. The arrows can be difficult to time and see sometimes, maybe a visual countdown indication above the arrow shooter.
Hey aHagge! Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!
If you'd like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/346058131?t=05h01m45s
Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

Good fun! Love the idea of plastering my dead bodies everywhere. I especially like that you can fail a lot, and still finish it. (tho with not a lot of high scores) The controls were solid enough not to make me frustrated, which was good. The music brought a nice mood too.
