A short platformer with your best friend. Take care of him please.

This was my first compo ever. I hope you like it.
Feel free to comment and give any kind of feedback, I'll really appreciate it!
Changelog
Thanks to the feedback I managed to solve some problems in a post compo upload! Thank you!
- The collisions (and Henry!) should be working without problems now (curse you, physics)
- Added a Restart Layout button in every level.
- Randomly dying in the spikes level should be fixed.
- Bugs that no one reported were also fixed!

Little thing: In future, add a button to restart a level if possible!
It also shows that you don't need great graphics to tell a story.
Overall great entry!
This is so sad, 10/10 would kill Henry again. Great first entry man, the movement was slightly buggy though :)
I liked most the way u constructed the characters and created their relationship.
I think a funeral would be appropriated at the end! :sweat_smile:
Collision with henry was a bit buggy and i couldn't move henry at the level with the spikes maybe I missed something...
Collisions could be improve, there's a lot of tutorials about it, and it's pretty easy with squares. Maybe for a post-jam version?
@wongkongphooey Implemented the restart button! Thank you man.
Love u GJ GOOD GAME
Physics are a bit funky and graphics could be better. But still, the game itself is amazing. Congrats!
