🕹️ Description

Death is not the end — it’s the key.

In Die&Rise, every life is just one step toward your goal.
When your strength isn't enough… you’ll need to sacrifice yourself. Each death leaves behind a solid body, turning your corpses into platforms that help you climb higher, block traps, or reach the exit.

What looks like a failure is actually your most powerful tool. The challenge is learning when to let go and where to die to build the perfect path forward.

✨ Features

  • Minimalist 2D puzzle-platformer made for Jamsepticeye
  • Unique mechanic: die to create platforms
  • Fast respawns → fail, learn, and retry instantly
  • Restart anytime with a single button
  • Simple controls

🎯 How to Play

  • ← / → – Move
  •  – Jump
  • Spacebar – Sacrifice yourself (leave a body behind)
  • R – Restart the level

💡 Why play?

Die&Rise turns the idea of “game over” upside down. Instead of avoiding death, you’ll embrace it as a strategy. Each sacrifice is a stepping stone — sometimes literally — toward the exit. The fewer deaths you use, the smarter your path.

Do you have what it takes to master the art of dying wisely?
