Reminds me a lot of papers, please. And given that you made it in only ten hours is extremely good. I liked how the names were a little different and the sound effects helped me figure out what was happening. My only suggestion would be to make the rating system a little more obvious, but that is only a personal preference. Good job overall.
How many sons does Satan have? The guy sure gets around.
You had a good thing going on with the timer and making it a rapid-fire of choices. Also the things on the lists made me laugh, good job.
Hello guys (and girls and anybody else, who I am to judge ?) Thanks a lot for your feedback !
@doosead : I wasn't sure my game was humorous or not, I thought it was not at all, so I decided to remove the ratings for it, but my translation for "humor" is maybe erroneous ? I'm french, so I'm not sure for the meaning of this. Else, maybe that my notion of humor is not the same as everybody, but pretty sure that if I decide to expand this game one day, I'll add so funny sentences and interactions :slight_smile: You can now vote for humor if you want :wink:
@thetophatnoob : Of course "Papers, please" inspired me ! I wanted to had some timing things, but the time was not with me so I decided to make it more simple to implement. I would have prefer souls to become hasty so St.Peter's headache get worse, but maybe this will outcome in another life :grin: I keep your suggestion as a potential game update !
@captaindreamcast : Satan might be a bad-ass that every single human would like to have a child with, I guess :thinking: But anyway, if his son saved a cat, everything is alright, he can go to paradise, couldn't he ?
Cheers again everyone !
Nice entry you got there!
I don't quite understand it - how do I determine who goes where? I am frustrated, my world is a lie :D
Other than that I like the graphics, sound and idea of the game and considering you only had so little time to develop this piece of work... damn that's great! Congrats! :D
Thank you guys !
Yeah, peoples can't be bad nor good, it's a pure mix of many different attitudes :D
Some nice ideas here, I guess other comments cover almost everything... Loved the cards, made me thought about Reigns :) I loved the shiny / dark effect on the screen as you move your mouse to heaven or hell. Well done, especially in this little amount of time ! :)
Thank you ! I indeed had few inspirations from Reigns :)
Great concept! Very funny.
I like the concept behind this game a lot. It's sort of confusing and I don't know exactly what makes the correct answer correct, but it's quite humorous either way! I like music and sound effects, they're quite relaxing. How can someone have a headache while listening to that! Anyway, good job.
Good concept, but this game seems to literally just challenge the player's morality and beliefs. Boring too
I like it. Great concept. I'm not sure I entirely understand how to judge people, so it's probably for the best that that's not my job.
Good choice of bgm too.
I loved the idea, but the time was so damn short! I think there really should have more time, but it's still a lot fun to play.^^
Sorry guys, I'm a bit late, but thanks for the feedback !
@spencer-hower I'm currently working on making this even more confusing, hope it will be great ! Sadly musics are randomly generated. If one day this game has a new version, I'll try to find someone who can help me working on this part :)
@notpresident35 Sorry if the game hurt your morality, that was not the aim at all ^^
@simonhutchinson Every "action" a dead people did has a single "evilness" or "kindness" value, and the total is sum up to a evilness final score, so yeah it's a bit hard to determine if a son of Satan can be saved ahah :D
@felipe-guimaraes I agree with you, the timer is not good enough, I'll try to implement the first mechanics I wanted to be in the game instead of a single timer. I had not the time to setup it for the Jam :)
@Number6406 I'm not saying it hurt mine, but I am saying that the game very obviously asks the player for his beliefs, and if they don't exactly meet the game's expectations of perfection in morality, then the player will lose.
@notpresident35 I understand your point of view, thanks for you comment. I don't really know how to improve this aspect of the gameplay. I tried to expose very "obvious" actions so it was easy to distinguish what is "good" or "bad" but apparently it's not the right thing to do... I'll try to find a way to make the game less moralizing but I think it will be a bit difficult ^^
