Man, going back to flash was quite the experience, I really like your take on the theme, you really start with nothing but it's not a game you'd expect to see in a jam! It's a great mood make too, brought me back to when I was younger looking at experimental stuff like this on the web.
I am not sure about what's going on in this game, and maybe I have an old version as it is all black and white.
{Edit}: After playing more of it, I have to say, this game has the potential to be a quite soothing and interesting experience: Going forward I tried to ignore the enemies as killing them didn't result in any advantage and they seem to spawn endlessly so it's not like you can clear them and be done. Once I focused of exploring, it was really nice to see the changes of environment and find the odd interesting rock formation. Had the game focused on environmental storytelling with a good soundtrack, this could become a real gem!
My only complaint is that in the last level, no matter where I place the second block (the big room) the game registers a game over and sets me back at the level start screen, so I can't complete it.
I can confirm that death can put you in a falling loop in which you can't actually keep playing, too bad because I was really enjoying the atmosphere until I could not play anymore.
I restarted a couple of times but it became annoying in the end.
I liked the idea, but it's a bit too clunky for me, attacking felt incredibly ineffective and every room had me circle strafing for a couple of minutes to be able to get the enemies down, sorry but I think the difficulty may be too high.
Sadly I cannot understand for the life of me how to play this game :/
I resurrect the dead and then I am told to hold down the mouse, but regardless of which button I press, I feel like I end up losing with not much agency.
Maybe a better tutorial would have solved everything, as it stands I can't really enjoy the game.
I like the idea, but I could not manage to attack, maybe it's a button I didn't press, also the cursor disappears once you lose and go back to the menu. Finally, the game is way too dark, maybe a lighter ambient colour would have done it justice more.

Wow, what an amazing experience it was, I was lost in it, honestly! I think you should develop this into a full game, something like "sunless skies"

Incredibly stylish, a great effort in style and minimalism. It's what it says on the tin, a simple platformer, but the visuals really steal the show!

Lovely game, lovely narrative, lovely conclusion. A highly polished experience, well done!

Really lovely solitaire, I would be thrilled to see the whole deck of cards done in the same art style, it's very unique

nice idea, and well executed, not too much fun unfortunately :/

Love text adventure games, and this one is quite innovative, I deeply enjoyed the writing, will definitely finish playing it in the next days.

It's not going to blow your brains away, but it's a competent nice wee platformer :)

This is a very mixed bag for me, whilst I loved the graphic art style, the music drove me insane in about two minutes.
Nice and slick though, well done!

I think you may have built the game for Debug as it's asking me for the VCRuntime dll.

Overall great effort here!

Absolutely loved the music!
The game is also quite peaceful to play and although a bit finneky, it's a game I will keep playing in the next days for sure :)

Absolutely loved the humor, short experience and very linear, but incredibly funny!

I really enjoyed toying around with this, very relaxing indeed!

Loved it!
It became quite hard, quite fast, but I've really enjoyed the tactical take on this theme.

Good job though!
