The Reapers Course by Pepper Boi

[raw]
made by Pepper Boi for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

You are dead. But the reaper is bored today so it will let you have a chance at life. This fits the theme because you have to move down the map to finish the level and you get extra challenge when after you finish.

  • Move with WASD or arrows
  • Use space to attack
  • Press esc to use the pause menu

Good luck!

The animation and pixel art are really good here. Maybe a tad bit slowed down, but good. I would have sped it all up maybe just 1.10 - 1.25x. I did enjoy frolicking

The visuals and music set a lovely mood, and the platforming has a nice feel to it!

Finally a platformer I thought I could beat, no enemies hurrah. That was short lived when the grim reaper sent me down again :( Nice music and animation. Loved the skipping animation

A cute, short game! I enjoyed the assets you used, and the level design was interesting - particularly the last jump, which was an appreciable difficulty hike over the rest of the platforming. I found that the attack animation was a little slow which made it at times uncomfortable to use, so speeding that up definitely would have been appreciated, but over all, good job! ☆☆

As the folks above here, the art, particularly the player sprite, is really well done. Platforming felt really well done as well.

I really like the chara design !
great mood but the attack animation is a little bit long.

Platforming felt good. It felt a bit slow and cramped. I think it would feel better if it was faster and you weren't constantly running into walls

Very nice & gentle music. It goes perfectly creating the mood of death and adventure. Very nice twist at the end. You could have went so many ways with that.

Nice platformer game. I like the increasing difficulty and the mood. There's some tilemap flickering in the web version, but otherwise it's perfect

A very cool course, especially since I love this game. I had ideas for creating courses for passing some difficult levels. But I think that I don't have enough experience for this yet. But such professionals as you can already do this. This platform can be helpful in this https://ojowo.com/en/courses It can be a great help in creating courses and promoting them.
