A game where you have to make sacrifices to win!

Play at: https://irtaza.itch.io/sacrificial-leap

A minimalist platformer created for Daydream Islamabad (a 2-day irl in-person game jam), based on the theme Sacrifices Need to Be Made!

You play as a brave little square who must overcome spikes, gaps, and obstacles. But some challenges can’t be solved by jumping alone…�

To progress, you must sacrifice yourself, spawning a smaller square that continues the journey. Each sacrifice makes you weaker but allows you to overcome greater dangers. Use your 2–3 sacrifices wisely — once they’re gone, so are your chances.

Features:

• Tight platforming controls.
• Unique sacrifice mechanic: spawn a smaller self at the cost of your current body.
• Spikes, jumps, and level exits to challenge your timing.
• Sound effects for jumping, dying, sacrificing, and winning.
• Background music that loops across levels.
• Simple visuals, but deeper strategy: when will you sacrifice?

Controls:

• ​A/D or Right/Left arrow keys for movement.
• W or Up arrow key for jumping
• Space to sacrifice and launch a smaller square.
