Really liked the graphics and animation! Also, the game is pretty fun. Good job!

For some reason, I couldn't get the WebGL version to load - but I did try the Win64 version.

I really like the concept, and it was executed pretty well - the game starts off easy enough, but before you know it the rivers are overflowing with souls and there's only so much one cutest reaper can handle!

Graphics are nice, though the style could be a bit more cohesive. The music really fits the cute aesthetic you're going for, which in turn clashes with the stressful gameplay - which makes for an interesting dynamic and experience.

Very challenging game. The graphics are nice and the theme fits well. You really have to be quick to stand a chance.

Nice graphics but It's hard to tell what you are supposed to do. Good job anyways!

Wow this is challenging! I really like it :)

Is it really necessary to post duplicate advertising about the game?..

lukewaffel 2018-08-14 17:18

Fun but challenging game!

You crushed the overall panic theming. Having the adorable little souls get backed up gave me a real sense of pressure. Your sprites are all cute, and their animations are solid. I never really found a use for throwing the souls, but that could have been user error.

The red souls go in the red area, the blue souls go in the blue area, the purple souls go in the... green area? I think you should definitely make the purple souls green, or the green area purple! The art/music go really well together and overall it's good fun, but when I've had enough fun, there seems to be no way of quitting the game! I guess I'll just have to keep playing!

A ​very cool game with cute little graphics! :) Funny and engaging, I really like it! :)

Hey, this is a very nice game! I got a little confused at the begining, i can't believe i sent a lot of good souls to hell D: haha but i enjoyed this one, very nice! I also liked the music and the character style a lot, somehow it remembered me of Harvest moon games :) Good job!

@lespaul59 @lukewaffel @thecommonthug @psiv @timothy-spit @rebelloeric thanks for you feed-back ! It makes us very happy and motivates us for the next LD edition!

Cool game, really enjoyed playing it. i found it quite challenging and confusing at the beginning but once i got the hang of things it was good :)

iluvatar 2018-08-15 16:50

Jeez! That was really challenging. Very entertaining nevertheless! The music and art were cute, the gameplay design is actually very cool. I had a blast, honestly :)

Same here, a nice game with good graphics and sound. It works well but I am not sure to have understood the benefit of the switches by the way.

bichodust 2018-08-15 21:36

I was panicking with all of those souls collapsing haha. It is a great game. I enjoyed it but it is difficult to survive more than one or two minutes(at least for me). Maybe if you could carry more than one soul at once would be more balanced. The switches mechanics are nice. I was using them to not have to run far to get the souls, but I don't know if that was the objective of the streams. But even tough the game is fun to play and I like the concept. The music is fantastic and the art is great. In general is really nice game. Congrats :D!!

I loved the "Wrong soul!" animation and sound effect

I didnt't fully get the use of the levers tho, is there any way to take advantage of their presence?

Cool entry anyway :)

terrapass 2018-08-22 18:32

This is quite a strong entry, well done. I found the game pretty pleasing aesthetically thanks to both visuals and music; nice job executing them at such a high level under the constraints of the jam. While the core mechanic of sorting objects into different slots under pressure is not necessarily anything new, I liked your choice of theme: it's much more interesting to escort souls into the afterlife than to sort boxes or (to pick an entirely random examples :wink: ) to park cars. For me the controls seemed adequate and accomplished exactly what they needed to in order for the game to be enjoyable.

Good job!

cute graphics and sound, and the gameplay feels excellent; my only criticism is how quickly you can get overwhelmed, but that's probably more a reflection of how bad I was at playing it :)
