Cloud Surrounded Fate
Controls:
Arrow Keys
X = Slash
You are a sky-pirate and have been tracked down by death himself to collect your soul, but you won't give up without a fight! But is it possible to kill death? (No). Dodge deaths attacks and stun him with your sword while jumping around on a swinging platform.
How long can you survive until you reach your inevitable cloud surrounded fate?
I might update the game after the jam ends.

@billnotic Yeah I probably should try to fix that. The snapping back on the platform is because I didn't want/have time to make multiple hitboxes for the player so the player just end on top of it even if the they're above it.
I don't know 100% what my high score is but it is around 50 sec.

Love the aesthetic and sound effects, makes me feel like I'm playing on a GameBoy and that's a good thing. I'd recommend locking the player to the platform as it moves. The controls are quick and easy to figure out, but I found myself falling off more than getting killed by the reaper.

Death is inevitable and the fight for life is hard! I found my best strategy was to go straight left while jumping and spam the X key, hoping the platform catches me, which gets me around 20 to 25s... But I know that is not how the game is supposed to be played. I really like the art, it feels cohesive, pico8 is a tool I should try using at some point. Nice entry!

pico-8!
i agree with the previous comments - the platform is very slippery and hard to stay on, and some of the physics is unintuitive - but it's still a charming game and quite polished.

Very neat, simple, and well executed game. Good job!

It's addictive! Apart from being a little too hard to dodge it is quite fun, reminds me a little of some of the hollow knight bosses (:

Great game. Very challenging, I only managed to delay death for about 25 seconds at most and staying on the platform was also a bit of a struggle, but overall it was quite fun to play with. Well done!

Graphically very nice and the controls felt responsive and tight. The physics felt a little odd to me and I found myself slipping off the swinging bar a bit but teleporting back on at the last second. Still, a fun and very challenging game with a great aesthetic!

Really nice aesthetic and artstyle!
It can be a little hard to stay on the platform though.

Other than that the game feel is nice. What is your personal high score?
