Rebirth Blocks

A 2D Pixel Platformer Born from Death

Created for The Pixel Game Jam 2025 under the theme "From the Dead", Rebirth Blocks is a puzzle-platformer where death is not the end—it's the key to survival.

You control a series of uniquely sized blocks, each with a limited lifespan. Use A/D to move, Space to jump, and Left Click to end a block’s life early. But death is far from failure—when a block dies, its body becomes a physical object in the world, ready to be used to solve puzzles, press buttons, and create new paths.

Core Mechanics:

• 🟥 Block Rotation: Control multiple blocks with different sizes and lifespans.
• 🕒 Limited Time: Each block lives only for a short duration—plan carefully.
• 💀 Death is a Tool: Dead blocks remain in the scene and can interact with the environment.
• 🧠 Puzzle Solving: Use block corpses to press buttons and open doors.

Special Items:

• 🔄 Teleporters: Instantly transport a block to a specific location.
• 📌 Anchor Item: Causes a dead block to become fixed in place, acting as a stable platform.
• 🧬 Morph Item: Transforms the block into the shape of the previous block and extends its lifespan.

Strategically sacrifice blocks to overcome traps and tight platforming challenges. Each death brings you closer to the exit—if you play smart.

Can you escape... from the dead?
