LifeTrap
The game is playable on web browser but download it to get the best experience and graphisms.
The Game :
In this game, you have to help a little guy cross a level. But then, your role is reversed and you need to kill the little one with traps. After that, help him recross the level but with the traps you've placed, so :
- Help him cross the level
- Kill him before he gets to the flag
- Restart the level with the traps you placed
- Again and again until you unlock the next level
It's a little runner/strategic game made in 48h for the GMTK Game Jam 2023 on the theme of "Roles Reversed".
Controls :
- Jump with SPACE
- Dash with LEFT SHIFT
- Place objects with your mouse

nice game concept just not very well executed yet
Thanks for your comment, how could I improve it ? What wasn't well exectuted for you ? :)
Hey! First off, I’m just a player, not a developer, so take this more as general feedback than anything too technical.
The main thing I felt was missing was a bit of breathing room between finishing a level and placing a trap to kill your previous self. It felt very immediate and a bit confusing, like I didn’t have time to process what just happened or plan my next move.
I also found the trap placement and switching controls a bit awkward. It wasn’t always clear how to switch traps or place them where I wanted, so the controls could probably be made more intuitive or explained better.
I also ran into what seemed like a soft lock or crash: if you walk into a wall while alive and then in the next fase try to place a trap, the game just stops responding.
That said, I really want to mention that the art looks beautiful and very well made.
Another small thing in the first sentence you say graphisms I'm guessing this is supposed to be graphics but I'm not natively English so can very well be wrong
Yeah, i think you're right. Frenchs aren't known for their english anyway...
Thanks a lot for all your feedback, very constructive ! I totally agree with you. Thanks again for playing :)
