You play as a guy, who dies and goes to a place inbetween life and death.

It was fun to make, especially the music. I think I created a very moody game. It's a bit short though.

The idea is that your life is going down and you need to keep collecting life to move forward.

Interesting concept, and the art and mood is very nice!

@drauthius Thank you, I appricate the feedback.

The character control is a bit weird, some clumsiness fits the dreamy mood, but the acceleration in the middle of jump phase, while already being in the air.. I cannot see reason for it. Still the whole rest is impressive, mood indeed really well built, art and music shining.

@onnofal Yeah I agree, I guess I ended up being blind on the game mechanics, I did work a lot on the jump but I totally agree, it's not there yet. The jump is made with a float that is set by a curve over time, to mimic a jump curve like you would have in animation, but I guess it failed :)

Thank you for the kind words. I love penguins, so I will give your game a go later ;)

Nice graphics and sounds, I liked it. Just interesting, what is a second door with grass and etc? Would be great to have a possibility to change my mind without the full replay.
