"I won't die like the other, I will be different" said confidently Viktor the eighteenth. And he was right: he was the first one to be killed by a snowball.

very beautiful. I like the color changing beards each generation and that you can see the boy at the beginning (and looking at him let's you know, which color the next generations beard will have)
It is really nice that you noticed that the boy grows up to be the next generation Viktor. We enjoyed working on these details but we weren't sure whether or not someone would notice. Thank you!

Here lies Viktor XI the path was so well laid by his father that he died in the exact same spot.
Poor Viktor X, at least he tried xD

Lives as generations â great concept!
It is great that you enjoyed it =) The concept was born at Global Game Jam 2012, in which the theme was the picture of Ouroboros (the snake that eats it's own tail).

Viktor the twentieth made it through.
In general, pretty nice. A few of the deaths were kinda cheap - spikes so close that you're right on top of them when you fall from above, and you'll have to pass by them at least three times so you'll probably forget 'em before the last time you go through. That kind of thing. But it was a great concept in general and pretty well executed, so I'm going to go 5/5 here. One critique - every time we restart, the music (which was nice the first time I heard it) restarts. Not normally an issue but this game is built around restarting. Give us a couple different tracks, perhaps matched to different hair colors or something?
Thank you very much for the feedback! We will talk to our composer and see if we can add a couple of new tracks. Regarding the cheap deaths you mentioned, we are working on a way to address this problem.
