How does your game fit the theme?
The game loop is the same the whole time. You just run, jump, or fall left or right, then respawn at the top of the screen. The game is a loop. The only differences are in the visuals or sounds you hear, and your goals. You do the same thing over and over and over.

i can't believe  i spent 10 minutes just killing myself. .. but i'd do it again. a comedic and meta take on the theme and would be something i can see myself playing if you developed it to a full game!! :-)

Developer

thanks! Glad you liked it! :)

The only game in the world where dying increases the score Lol! Putting those dialogue was good idea. Even though the loop isn't that interesting to play but really liked the concept & in my opinion this game could have been an incremental idle game where you could have added powerups to die even faster or die in a different way & score more point after each death or a power up where you could multiply your bodies and die together and score multiplies after each death, possibilities are endless for powerups. This idea had potential of a really fun incremental idle game if you have designed it that way. Anyway good job with coming up with this unique idea. Keep it up!!!

so that it after 150 there none more but something i can say is that is the most underated game in the Jam Hope u get to the top 100(not glazing)

Developer

thanks! There is more, but it's spread out. I mostly left it for people who really wanted to find secret content. (You can also use the "level select" to skip through, but a few are at numbers that you probably wouldn't think of.) Anyways, thank you so much for the kind words!!!
