The Simulation

The Simulation sidescrolling adventure forcing you to re-evaluate failure and death. It features 6 unique levels. It was originally developed solo in 72 hours for the Wowie Game Jam 3.

FAILURE IS PROGRESS

Usually when faced with a pit of deadly spikes the last thing you would want to do is jump into them. That isn't the case here however. Things work differently in the simulation. Death is temporary, and in some cases necessary. Being crushed by a block or impaled in a pit of spikes will turn you into a ghost, allowing you to reach new heights and surpass obstacles. Don't get too used to it though as it only lasts 3 seconds before you're returned to your mortal shell.
