Help Yourself

Made for the Kindred Community Game Jam of 2020

The game is a puzzle platformer catered for speed running wherein the player must repeatedly die and use their past lives' souls to repeat the actions of the past in order for the player, themselves, to get to the end portal. A soul's corpse also doubles as a platform once it reaches the end of its life which leads to some creative alternative solutions to the levels.

The game's main mechanic of "soul replay" and "soul platforming" was discovered as a bug at the time of development which allowed me to be creative with the level design for this game. We decided to keep the bug as a feature as we leaned into the fun aspects and opportunities players may have with the interaction. Needless to say this game was a huge success for it. The game features subtle story telling and 12 carefully planned levels by me.
