:thinking: Hmmm
I love that intro and how the reaper continuously shows up you during the game. Nice one!
The game itself is very light and simple, but the shop entrance and the parking lot are well made. Simplistic, but I couldn't do it better either..
I love the sense of humor in this game. The intro video is perfect! The gameplay itself is very simple but I like the "cheat prevention system" :laughing:
So usely I try to make the review as long as possible so it's constructive. I'd like to say I know this is a jam, and I know the time we got but I criticize the game the way I wish people would criticize mine so I can get better at doing them in the future. Better games = funnier production = more proud in the end. I'll start with bad points to end up with the good ones, it feels better that way. Some are minor things I know... I just want to be precise.
**Bad**
-When the reaper zoom in, the white text on his white skull is barely visible
-We don't know what to press in the menu to start it ( in game ! )
-You don't have a progress bar to know how much you are doing, the reaper tells you to try again on a game over, but there is no high score and it seems there is no ending as well.
-The reaper wants you to move around, a few pixels will do, and you still can lose because of the amount of people, so why move around ? ( in a gameplay perspective, finding secret is fun but it also mean you waste your run, if you don't want that, you won't explore, and the reaper telling you not to stay in place is for the gameplay )
-Music loop is too simple and repetitive, and so is sound ( maybe put a random pitch for every customers ? )
**Meh**
~Some things are top down view while others are more like 60 degrees
~Even though its in his character, the reaper is a bit of a spammer isn't he ?
**Good**
+The colors are really clear and nice
+Once in the game you know what to do
+The scaling difficulty makes it challenging
+Going around in the map is actualy really fun
+The reaper character is built in game outside of the intro and that's hard to do with the amount of time you had
+There's a lot of art assets around the map so that is really cool to explore
+The noise they are making when they get block makes me laugh
+The level of absurdity of the game makes me gigle like an idiot
+I love the fx when a customer buy away your life
the mechanics is interesting and fun, the sound through the main gameplay gets repetitive fast though, with the right soundtrack and some powerups this could be a nice casual game (I am thinking too about multiplayer mechanics ... could be interesting)
I thought it was a pretty meh game. I didn't get far because it started to lag ALOT after a couple minutes but from what I played it seemed a bit repetitive. Maybe I just didn't get far enough though. I think the main problem for me was the fps which was extremely frustrating to me
It was a little repetitive but it had the patented Jord style and comedy I've grown to love and expect.
I think you spent way too much time on art considering you only had 48 hours to make it. There's no incentive to leave the front of the door so a lot of the off-screen stuff is wasted. Some of that time could have gone to polishing the mechanics (I sometimes get stuck on nothing from left-to-right and vice versa). It was certainly a humorous setup, but there's not much else to it.
oof great game man ;)
love the cute art style nice one
Hahaha, great thank you :D
Amusing take on the concept, and a pretty fun game! I was a bit confused at the menu screen for awhile (didn't realize the game was Keyboard only). The humor was pretty great.
I dunno why this didn't work for me, seems it worked for a lot of other people. >.<

Pretty simple core game, but decorated with a lot of charm and humor.
I had some issues with the UI anchoring, and the reaper's dialog during the gameplay was offscreen: https://imgur.com/a/UuRyFmt I played on a computer hooked up to a TV, so it has an odd resolution.
If you need a really simple core, I think the "goalie" thing is a nice way to go. I experimented with a few different approaches about where to stand, etc, and there was enough there to engage my brain while the flavor played out.
Nice work!
The gameplay is perhaps nothing super special, but the story, graphics and music is pretty good. Overall is this a funny little game. Well done.
This is fairly neat- love the little death! :)
Nice game, simple and very fun to play.. Good graphics, music and the game design overall..
Congratulations on your entry for this Ludum Dare o/
Simple and fun! Nice!
A good game! I had a good time playing it! But it would be so much easier to play and I think it would get a better rating and more people would play it if you could play the game directly in the browser. With Unity you can simply change your game in the build settings to WEP-GL and upload it to e. g. itch. io or simmer. io.
Fun game. I like the graphics and the gameplay is engaging. Using W,S and E for the menu made it really difficult to figure out how to start it. Overall, its a pretty fun game. Good job! :D
I really enjoy! Mood 5!
