Death Is Real.

A very fun and very well made little game. I like both the music and the visuals. Controls is overall good, but it was sometimes a bit difficult to be able to move the stuff fast enough. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

Really nice game! The puzzles were pretty clever even with just a few items. I think a little more delay before your character starts moving would be nice but that's pretty much the only criticism I have.

Awesome! I actually kind of like the frantic pace and having to throw down items before you even know what to do with them.
One thing I'll say though is for that last level, it's a bit tricky to know how much room you need to make between yourself and death at certain points. I ended up looping an extra time to make up a bit of distance.

I loved your creative choices with the art. Nice level design as well. The window for the game was tiny on my monitor so it was tough to click the objects fast enough and place them in the right spots which I found a bit frustrating. Overall an excellent effort.

@dreamscale I definitely agree, a slightly longer delay would have been great. Thanks for the feedback!

@kbf123 I appreciate the input! Yeah, that last level is super tough. I ideally would have wanted to put death a little further back but it would've messed with the pathfinding system, unfortunately. Thanks for playing!

@david-york Thank you for the kind words! Sorry to hear about the small window. I should have included a fullscreen option to account for higher resolution monitors.

Very cool game! Well done!

I had to quit almost at the end but I started the game again and played though!

Only negative for me is that placing things was a bit hard and required precision. The fun part was the puzzles, not my clicking abilities :)

Great music and simple graphics.

I had trouble placing items fast enough. I wish I could pause the level at least before it begins so I have time to think about how to solve it.

Otherwise nice puzzle game !

A funny and well presented game. I would recommend using a larger button for items in the inventory and keeping the inventory at the same place. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to pick the item.

One of the best games I've encountered on this jam! I'm not really into puzzles, but this one stroke me with simple & intuitive yet unexpectedly complex mechanics. I love the thoughtful level design that forces you to explore more and more until you find the overall solution. Simply incredible, great job.

I absolutely adore the art, well done!

Awesome game. Played nearly all of the levels. The level count and the idea is amazing. Really great job :-)

Overall: extremely well done. The inevitability of death fits very well with the theme. Great polish, atmosphere, graphics, puzzles. Certainly one of the best put-together experiences I've seen so far :) I made it all the way through. High ratings from me.

If I could provide constructive feedback: I was frustrated with the level of precision and speed you had to move the pieces around. I found myself wishing for a pause feature, or time to stop and think before the puzzle began. Often times I'd be a pixel off in my placement and I'd get the error noise and die :( It felt like I was fighting the controls more than trying to solve a puzzle in some cases.

Beat it! Unlike a lot of games, I really felt drawn to actually FINISH this one. Very fun!

Este es el primer juego de la jam en el que verdaderamente siento un buen diseño de niveles, un gameplay muy bueno, de los mejores que he jugado. El arte también es muy interesante, la gama cromática me encanta, buen trabajo :heart:

Enjoyed this a lot. The puzzle elements have a surprising amount of depth and are challenging without being frustrating.

The impending dread you feel with death following close behind and the music was great, fits the theme very well.

Really well done game, I don't really have any criticisms of it that other people haven't already said. Very strong entry overall.

I love it!!!!!

Very fun! the art is amazing

Stressful puzzle game, lol. Was a bit frustrating at times due to the speed required to place the tools, but I really enjoyed it. Well done!

Fun game! I love the unique puzzle mechanic, the minimalist pixel art and the theme. The difficulty level felt organic without being overwhelming. Sometimes I had trouble placing the items at the right spot, as some people already mentioned. Otherwise strong entry! :)

I love this game - wonderful puzzle design, consistently challenging - both in logicality and dexterity.

Plus, the the polish is unpaired - a consistent color palette, lovely sprites, smooth and straightforward controls, gorgeous backgrounds, fonts, and perfect theming.

A well excecated plan - congratulations on such a stellar entry!

I love this type of games where player controls the environment and not the character. You've done a great job squeezing maximum fun out of it!

The combination of a theme, interesting puzzles combined with quick reactions is pretty unique and so well done! The graphics and music with sfx are also great, especially keeping in mind that's it's a compo. Overall I think you nailed it and the experience you've made from that idea is so-so close to being just perfect for that timeframe. Impressive!

I was streaming and recording my playthrough. Here's a link in case you'd like to see it https://youtu.be/xAmitsB_F9k

Awesome game! Like a less hectic (but still kinda hectic) Lemmings! The art was nice and crisp and the music/sound was simple and effective. The difficulty curve of puzzles over time was nice. One of my favorite games so far this LD!
