Arrows keys to move. R: resets level N: skip a level P: go to previous level
Work on: -firefox -chrome/chromium (best choice)
Does NOT work on: -internet explorer
WARNING: game becomes VERY difficult at the end and may be frustrating. It's easier than IWBTG and than Super Meat Boy. That said, all the levels are possible. I can guarantee you that.

Thematic: You play as a guy who can dies in different parallel worlds and use his dead body as a block to jump on it!
Bizarre but fun little platformer. Some fairly sadistic level design :p (Running along a set of exploding blocks to a dead end!) & nice particle effects!
Feels very complete, impressive work for 48h hours. I could get right into it and play/interact with the game learning as I went along = very good. The level where you jump on your previous d00ds sold it for me! Had to look at the source to see if you had an FM synthesizer in there as well, but alas .. is ogg files :)
I beat all but the 2 hardest levels. At times, it definitely felt more frustrating than challenging. There are 3 things I thought were very good choices:
-The "replay/reuse" mechanic. It made things more interesting and strategic. -The screen shaking when the bombs went off. I made the game come to life. - Letting the player skip to the next level. Oftentimes, difficult games like this cause people to rage quite. Skipping levels alleviated that, and allowed users to see all the different levels.
Thank you guys. I'm rendering a video to show that the game is actually possible. @tanjent your comment makes me happy ^^
@zatyka I knew it would get frustrating for some people :P But I'm glad you liked it anyways. The explosion shake is made to make the game a bit harder
Specifically I liked the level where you used your previous selves as a bridge. I thought that was neat. The space dust stuff was cool in general, neat touch. I had to mute the music though, I didn't care for that.
Really nice concept and graphics! I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/oHxpkDX49XQ
There needs to be a slight pause when the player dies and about to restart the level again. This is so the player has time to let go of any keys and don't end up hitting the spike near the start.
Really great mood and art style! The mechanic was interesting, which made it all the more fun and enjoyable to play. There's a good level of polish too, I thought! Great work! :)

Only thing I didn't like much was the camera movement (the rotation on some explosions and the bounce effect after falling).
@0x961h Look at your game! much glow wow so juicy! :P
Fun concept and great look and feel though!

Gameplay gets easier when playing more and more!
