You died, but death didn't send you to hell, now you are stuck in a loop as a punishement. Death forces you to go throught the same enviroment, but reincarnated in different bodies. Now you msut do this loop as many times as death wants to...
You can edit the project on itch.io to set "Kind of project" to be "HTML" and check "This file will be played in the browser" on the file, after which the game will be playable on the page. It doesn't load for me after I downloaded because of CORS policy doesn't recognize the source.
Fun little game, the jumping mechanic was a little bit wonky, I wasn't able to get through the whole level, about to the second ghost encounter. but there is a lot to expand upon. I would've totally liked a checkpoint system. For a first attempt I would say this was a solid one!
Had a hard time with the platforming. The lines sticking out of the ground looked like checkpoints but I started at the beginning was made it a bit tedious to play over again. Nice job on your first jam game.
Great effort for your 1st jam! I like the detail in the player sprite and environments. Music's cool too. I was in the same boat 5 months ago. The difference between my games from LD46 and this jam (https://ldjam.com/users/sherwin-claridge/games) is night and day. I started with the basics of 2D platforming and kept learning from there. Check out Cinemachine for the camera too. Good luck!
Art was really good, so was sound. Jumping only seemed to work correctly when moving to the right. Moving to the left and jumping only worked half the time. Unfortunately I couldn't ever make it past the first bit of water you find.
Congrats for you first jam game! I really like the music, gets you in the mood well. The controls were pretty rough, especially jumping while moving caused me headache. Otherwise platforming was nice. The second ghost part is hard. I think improving controls and maybe adding checkpoints could do the trick and improve the game quite a bit.
Nice game! For me the player moves too fast, I expected it to be a bit slower. Also, I was surprised that jump is done by Up Arrow. I would expect a Space, for example. Thanks for including the controls hint at the game start though :)
Good job! The audio, story, and world design were all nice. I disagree with the above comment and think that you did the best possible controls. Aside from my game, all other platformers I've seen use Space to jump, and I think it's a bad key because you have to have two hands controlling what could be done with three keys all right beside each other. There were a few problems with the game though: the spikes weren't quite aligned with the ground, and the camera wasn't positioned good at all. I couldn't even see the bottoms of the character's legs most of the time, so I could never see where to jump next. Also, the ground is very uneven and it makes it impossible to jump unless you stand still. Other than those issues, fantastic job on your game!

Should be fixed now!
Sorry for that...
