A very interesting game :) ! Well done !
I loved the intro scene, extremely well done and the music was also fantastic !
The levels were well designed and interesting, though the backtracking was sometimes a bit annoying (perhaps smaller levels and faster controls ?)
Anyway all in all a solid game jam entry ! Keep it up :)

Guys the opening scene is so cool !

Just one think,(level 1) if you don't fall on spikes, you're falling for ever ^^.
A lots of good level design idea!
Well done ;)

I can't believe there were cutscenes. As soon as I saw that I knew I was in for a great experience. The amount of polish is fantastic, and although the art style was simplistic, it was consistent and looked great.

The whole thing of sacrificing soldiers to get to the end of the level was pretty simple, but the way it was presented with the overly morbid death animations and stuff really pulled it together.

Great job!

I really enjoyed your game! Great art - especially in introduction (it will be wonderful, if you put this graphic also to levels!), good music, interesting characters (the evil peach? ^^) and this toy-king (in the beginning I thought that the Queen is a mad or sth and killing her beloved husband xD). Good job! :D

This was fun! The controls felt very fluid, and the sounds/music fit perfectly! (For humor, or for general use)
Must say, those suicide animations caught me off guard. Well done!

Loved this, although the levels may have been a touch too spacious/lengthy for the mechanic.

Also, the self-sacrifice animations are super dark and a bit shocking in such a cute game. XD

Really cute game, I liked the artstyle and graphics. I wish the puzzles were a bit smaller and showed a bit better where to go and what traps are there because dying over and over again can be a bit frustrating. Overall very nice application of the theme.

Oh boy I was not expecting those suicide animations, heh. Cool use of the mechanic, and the physics were really solid. I particularly appreciated that holding jump would bounce pretty much the same way for each grape, so I could span gaps consistently between lives. The only strange thing to me was later levels seemed to require less sacrifice and more platforming, though I can't really complain as the size of the later levels would have been very punishing if you had to get many grapes through to the later bits. The cutscenes were awesome, fun graphics and very polished. Nicely done!

This game is dark for how colourful and simple the visual style is. I never found a desperate need to sacrifice many grapes apart from the one level where you need to let a bird eat a grape to get past it. The physics work well and I like the hand-painted art style.

The whole package is super nice, from graphics to cutscenes. It's amazing you managed that in 3 days. The only negative point is the super weird hitboxes (I think the grapes have a square hitbox?).
