How does the game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme by making risk a necessity—taking damage is the only way to move forward.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Most of the sound effects were downloaded from freesound.org, except for the death and damage ones.

The base player controller was taken from one of my other games and then expanded upon.

Awesome game! Love all the little mechanics that make it really interesting and challenging.
Fantastic idea. Great visuals too.
Thanks!
Loved the game design! congratz on the solo game
Thanks!!
Sacrificing your health for the sake of the puzzle is an awesome yet risky strategy that fits the theme perfectly. The platform is nice, but the jumps are very hard. You'll get the hang of it though!
Thanks for playing!
I really liked it! Good job! :)
Great game, Love how you should exchange your health for continuing the puzzles, A little bit hard to do some jumps but overall great game, Also loved the art
Thanks for playing!!
Great little puzzle platformer. Some of the jumps were super hard as well.
Thanks for playing!!
Very cool game, really loved the mechanic and how it fit with the theme. There were some minor things I think could be improved, like when I don't have enough lives, it could auto reset or give me an option to go back to the checkpoint, and some checkpoints were before lots of walls, so I had to wait every time. Even so, I really enjoyed playing, well done :)
Thanks for playing and for the suggestions!
Yeah, having an option to reload from a checkpoint would be nice.
I think it's so unique how the player has to take damage to move farther, really interesting concept! I thought the character movement was very responsive too. Nice work!
Thanks, glad you liked it!!
It was a bit hard to work with the controls at first but as I got the hang of it the platformer was pretty fun, I like all the new unique ideas that I don't see often in other platformers, nice game!
Thanks for playing. Glad you liked it.
an innovation on the typical platformer genre, fun and intresting. very enjoyable
Thanks for the review :))
good game!
Nice game bro. I did not like the blur when the character moves, but every thing else is good. Keep going :)
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it!
Interesting little game. You made nice use of the classic hit boost, great job!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for playing!!
Pretty hard game!( But cool too!)
If you could rate my me and my teammate's game it would be super nice! Thanks!
Thanks for playing! Sure will check out yours.
Nice work, the controls are pretty good although a bit too fiddly for the jump-dash, probably gets easier over time though.
Thanks for the feedback.
very challenging, I love your take on the theme of taking damage to clear the levels. Its a good level of difficulty with a variety of ways shown off of how the mechanic can be used, the movement has a pretty smooth feel to it after getting used to it
The dash jump dash bit is the one part I thought was a little too precise, and became a bit annoying after a while. I must of been stuck on it for 10-15 minutes :')
I think the glass section at the end is my favourite - I thought at first it was going to be an annoying random multichoice section but the way you have to navigate to the parts with the right number of hearts is very clever puzzle
Hey, glad to know you actually took the time to complete the game.
Yeah, it seems like the jump dash part can be somewhat frustrating to people. Having played the game from the first day with the mechanic, I didn’t think about it that much. Something to keep in mind for me next time.
Anyway, appreciate the feedback :))
suprisingly difficult! :D
:))
The timings were sometimes hard to get right but still felt good. The death animation is good xd.
Thanks for the review, appreciate it.
this is tough!!!
Appreciate you trying it out.
