this is fun! :3

Incredible pixel art! I felt really bad sending good people to hell...

lafleur 2014-08-25 09:22

Wow! Tougher than I anticipated. Gorgeous artwork!

bladderbloat 2014-08-25 09:28

Very good looking! I felt bad sending the "evil" ones to hell so I sent all the good ones there instead and gave the devil dudes a break in heaven, it did cause me to game over myself though.. Fun!

druid 2014-08-25 10:23

Funny game!

mrvanderpants 2014-08-25 10:24

I really enjoyd playing this game. It's really simple, but it plays great. I did miss some background music.

jaloko 2014-08-25 10:26

Love the pixel art!

njord 2014-08-25 10:27

I'm probably the worst St-Peter ever but I had a lot of fun ! The graphics are awesome, very nicely done !

jthistle 2014-08-25 10:28

Great artwork!

julgodis 2014-08-25 10:34

Has a good balance between challenging while still remaining fair, a great use of the theme and the pixel art is very well made, overall pretty well made

mar3k 2014-08-25 10:35

Really nice game and I really like the art work. It would be a great game for mobiles! ;)

adventureislands 2014-08-25 11:21

Nice idea, excellent pixel art too. gets difficult in a way that in lots of cases it isn't even possible to save everyone, but the game isn't overly hard. Nice work.

chriskdev 2014-08-25 12:17

Amazing!

tomvert 2014-08-25 12:48

Nice art !

ittlebit 2014-08-25 13:12

Excellent Art, Very Polished!

nusan 2014-08-25 13:52

Impressive art, the game is easy but a bit random. It only need a music on top to be fantastic. Keep up the good work.

hyoga-3d 2014-08-25 14:26

Very nice art style and the gameplay were very nice too.

perpetualraine 2014-08-25 14:50

Awesome art!

icedvariables 2014-08-25 16:40

Nice idea but on later levels it got quite difficult to juggle all the people coming through. Has fun.

laralyn 2014-08-25 17:59

Great game! One of my favorites so far. I'd love to see a full version of this where the puzzles evolve and you have to make more challenging evaluations of whether folks should go to heaven or hell. :-)

tannernetwork 2014-08-25 18:57

Really nice graphics, I like it!

sharpcoder 2014-08-25 19:08

God really needs to figure out a better sorting system! But I digress, this was a hilarious game. Amazing art, good amount of challenge, and fun gameplay.

jaj 2014-08-25 20:10

I don't know how many good souls I dropped into hell and I still won. If I was a good person all my life and this happened to me, I'd be pretty pissed. My Peter should not have been rewarded for such a poor performance XD

dragonxvi 2014-08-25 21:06

Gameplay's fairly basic but easy enough to understand. Spritework & visuals are gorgeous :D

01010111 2014-08-25 23:29

Awesome walkcycles! Love the art, love the idea, but at level 3 I was already the worst St Peter :)

kunonooni 2014-08-26 01:13

Amazing graphics and gameplay! Very nice interpretation of the theme.

ganbaregames 2014-08-26 01:20

Great pixel art.

pythong 2014-08-26 06:37

good artstyle. may have really been better with some good music :)

syawqy 2014-08-26 11:43

great pixel there

dustyroom 2014-08-26 12:05

Very fun to play, perfectly matched for this theme. One thing, I'd make controls less accelerated. I'd play this on my tablet / phone. Congrats for the great entry!

jojocanard 2014-08-26 13:21

Super mignon et sympa à jouer. Bavo

carduus 2014-08-26 15:49

With a simple mechanic you did a very fun timing based game, it's just awesome !
Wellcome in da real compo hood!
Pixels are great! GG sensei!Wohooo!I' hope you'll kick Nicolas's ass ;)

schizokoa 2014-08-26 19:36

So beautiful!

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-26 21:03

After first level I was thinking "piece of cake" and them everything was going to hell. Except the bad guy, they were going to heaven :) Anyway, good idea and awesome graphics!

leafthief 2014-08-26 21:41

Good graphics and gameplay. Became rather hard very quickly!

alxr 2014-08-26 23:06

Adorable, so authentic!

lissar 2014-08-26 23:24

Pretty fun game, actually! Loved the visual style.

kiwiboi 2014-08-26 23:46

Awesome game you got here! Lovely art and interesting concept! Tho I feel like the mechanics are a bit limiting when there are more than one gap, I want that perfect score! ;)

frump 2014-08-27 01:45

The website seems to be down. I can't download or play the game. It's a shame, it looks pretty cool in the screenshots.

jomomomo 2014-08-27 01:59

Can't get it to work for me. :-(

emak 2014-08-27 06:44

Sorry for the connection problems it's seemes to be fixed now.
Thanks a lot for all your comments. I'll propose a post compo version with music and more polish graphics.

kevinzuhn 2014-08-27 12:58

The graphics and theming are really strong, and I like the simplicity. I think the difficulty balance in the character spawning could use work. By level three it was routinely spawning good guys right in a row at such a distance that I literally couldn't support both of them. And devils would overlap with good guys so that supporting one meant supporting the other. Later on it felt like I was just working to mitigate mistakes and push the game towards an average positive gain, which was a slow and sometimes unrewarding process! I think it could benefit from a crowd-control ability, like being able to push good guys back in order to better sync up with a group behind them.
I still really like the game, though.

dylanwolf 2014-08-28 01:03

Great concept, and the theme and retro feel are wonderful. It's a simple mechanic, but it's really tricky to master.

ddfranky 2014-08-28 11:30

Awesome game! Also, one of the devil got stuck inside the terrain...does that mean that I just created the Limbo?

canyon 2014-08-28 11:44

I loved this! What a great interpretation of the theme!

merlijnvh 2014-08-28 20:20

Great game! The gameplay is original, simple and fun. The graphics were really cute, too. Love the pixel art!

ragepaint 2014-08-29 06:29

Loved the artwork and humor

deepnight 2014-08-29 11:54

The graphics and animations are top notch, good job! *_*
The gameplay is nice, but a little more balancing would be cool: slower soul movements and a way to stop one for a few seconds (like: press SPACE to cast St Peter Battlecry which freezes souls around him for 2 seconds). It would allow a little more strategy :)
Minor bug: I was able get people stuck in the ground (by pushing them with the cloud).

ghostinthesoft 2014-08-29 17:23

Good graphics and fun to play

saintheiser 2014-08-30 02:51

Hah! This is funny and non-traditional game idea =)
Good one!

howkj1 2014-08-30 17:54

Fun and addictive, yet challenging. High quality graphics with an old-school feel. :)

kyyrma 2014-09-04 18:27

Duuuude, you made all these graphics in 48 hours? I am absolutely blown away, really good work.

alexdjones 2014-09-08 16:31

Really great concept for a game, executed well with simple gameplay but a well balanced difficulty. And the art is really well done!

whalebot 2014-09-09 22:01

Very polished. Nicely done.

pfeyffer 2014-09-13 08:32

A lot of good people went to hell today. Awesome pixel art and fun to play.

jimmypaulin 2014-09-14 18:41

The presentation was absolutely superb here. The little animations were charming, I particularly liked the devil's triumphant mugging as it ascends to heaven. Only problem was I was so busy focussing on St P I couldn't appreciate them as much as I'd have liked. The upshot of that also was that I was relying on audio queues for how well I was doing - the fact you managed to get audio in at all with so much art to create is commendable but a couple of different sounds to distinguish 'success' and 'failure' would have helped... Great stuff

greytram 2014-11-11 16:31

Very cute graphics and nice sfx! The game idea is simple but funny.
