Skele-loop
Description
This is a small puzzle/platformer game I made for the GMTK 2025 gamejam. You control a skeleton, that can only move in certain allowed directions. To move in new ways, this little skeleton must pick up coins that point towards the new direction they will be allowed to move. These will be remembered after deaths (where you loop back to the beginning - get it), remembering ways you can move.
Controls
AD / ← → to move left, right
W / ↑ to jump
S / ↓ to drop down from certain platforms
SPACE to check how you can move
R to reset whole level, forgetting movements

I really enjoyed your game! It was very fun and well thought out. I especially liked the cheeky death loop, "oopsie, I guess you have to die!"
Really fun short game, was really confusing at the start though as I didn't really grasp that dying didn't reset the buttons you had access to
Having the game explain how to rest if you get stuck in the hole in the second level would be nice too, just to know
Besides that I really enjoyed myself and am excited to see more :)
