IMPORTANT: There is currently a game-breaking bug that I didn't notice before the jam finished where the game will bug and not respawn the player correctly upon falling off the map. This leads to infinite falling. It does not happen every time, but is something to note. To avoid, try to not stand so close to an edge that the player slips off slowly as this causes the game to remember the frame just before you fell off as the last safe position and spawn you back there, upon which point you fall again.

Lost Souls is a reasonably long puzzle platformer with 3 different quests situated in the same world. The quests are item-based, and in each you must collect a different set of soul fragments. The game includes several interesting mechanics like vine-swinging and hidden caves.

Controls are configurable via the menu.

Important tips:

When reaching the alter, drop all the items onto it by double clicking each one in your inventory.

Dash can be used when on the ground, in the water, or on a vine. Can be used once afterward in the air, allowing for double dashing. This is needed for some far jumps.

To vine swing, hold down jump while moving in front of a vine, and you will catch it. Use left and right arrows to swing the vine, and let go with jump when the vine is moving quickly to get more height (player jump height off a vine is proportional to vine velocity)

You can't see into caves until you are in them, so if you can't find a fragment it's probably in a cave.

If you are stuck, in the quest book is a hint button that describes the location of the next fragment in the quest.
