A platformer puzzle game where in order to complete the level you must die.. a couple of times. Each time you die, your old body stands in your place of death allowing you to jump on it, use it to trigger pressure plates and more.


This game was made in less than a week for the Kindred Community Jam where the theme was "Death is a new beginning".  I interpreted this theme as: each time you die, a path opens up.

The android version of the game was uploaded after the submission deadline.

Hey Again! You game placed 6th overall this week! Out of 50+ games yours was one of my very favorites! Congrats again, and I can't wait for more!! 

Thanks for the high placement again! And I do want to make more ;)

Is it possible to still get the original game uploaded for the game jam? Maybe you should leave it just in case is necesary, since the updates were not made in the time frame?

The updates were just tiny fixes like making a Spike smaller so One of the levels os easier and bug fixes.

No new levels were added, no major changes

Oh ok, I just wanted to let you know, I actually updated my game too lol
