Fail Fail Succeed

Fail Fail Succeed is a compact logic-driven puzzle platformer about turning failure into progress, inspired by the developer's struggles with cycles of manic highs and depressive lows. You're an anonymous individual trapped inside a dream-like dimension. From somewhere a dog has appeared. She wants to guide you forward. But the path forward is full of deadly traps… and your one real ability? To fail. Fortunately for you, there are mysterious orbs that let you leave a fragment of yourself behind. What remains will become barriers against hazards or platforms paving your way forward. Fail and fail again, until you succeed! Persistence and clever thinking is the only way out of this place.
