This is cool. I like the concept

Cool game! I liked how the level name would give a hint on how to solve it.

The background static effect is really cool too! Great job for a first time entry!

The game concept is very good
I liked how you used the noisy background and the lights in that specific level
The game is fun and challenging although you got me in the first half in the "Click .. " level haha xD
Overall Nice gave 9.5/10
Suggestion : Adding space bar as jump button might help

WOW! I loved this game!
Was challenging yet fun, and the mechanic behind it also was pretty cool!
Awesome!
I agree with @perak, a spacebar jump would be pretty cool - but overall, great!

@prerak @peteh @criggles Thank you guys very much for playing it! I didn't expect so many feedback, thank you very much! And yes I agree with the space bar as jump, I will add it when the jam ends as an update, but really thank you guys!

I didn't really saw the theme in here (dying repeatedly is more of basic concept of all games :p)
But anyway this IS a game and I enjoyed playing it :p so nice try !

@wegpast hey, thanks for playing! The theme was "stuck on a loop" and how I used it was that every level was basically the same every time, but with a different thing to do on it, but anyway thanks for playing!

Fun game.. I like how the levels change up.. More bodies piling up, perhaps could have made some more interesting level design! Good Job!

@spawncampgames I didn't have time to make a better level and I couldn't make different level so it would break the theme, but thanks for playing and for all the feedback :smile:

I really like the mechanic, that coupled with the smart reuse of the level gives off a really good experience, Good Job, and keep up the good work.

This is a very clever game! I never figured out how to push the button on level 9. I loved how you made the most out of a few mechanics. Minimalist but definitively well done! Good job!
