Controls:

Arrows / WASD = move

Z / Space = jump

X / Shift = roll (gives you i-frames)

Space = restart (upon death)


It's time to die!

Run, jump, roll, and hop around collecting souls to replenish your ever dwindling health. However, be careful as taking a tumble and landing on a new number can bring about all sorts of curses.

Featuring a lot of cool movement tech, such as:

  • bunny-hopping
  • roll-canceling
  • damage boosting
  • annoying Super Metroid style wall jumping

Discover the mechanical depths of your platforming to collect as many souls as you can while triggering as few disasters as possible. 

There's only one map, so just try to survive as long as you can! (Timer not included)


HINT: Feeling a bit lost in the chaos? Here's what happens every time you land a new number after rolling or spin jumping:

  • Roll a 1: The current health pickup moves to a different spot on the map
  • Roll a 2: A ring of fire spawns surrounding you
  • Roll a 3: Lightning strikes your current position three times
  • Roll a 4: The reaper spawns and tries to swipe you with his scythe; look out for his tell!
  • Roll a 5: You become frozen, making the controls slippery
  • Roll a 6:  You recover a little health

And keep in mind, you're invincible while rolling on the ground!

This is so much fun! I love that the roll mechanic is so random, very on theme. Simple and clean execution really enjoy it.
