It's good idea but too simple gameplay for my opinion.

Lovely game! I absolutely loved the theme and the story! Hell's landlord! Hahaha! I wish I had more time per level, or could move a bit faster... Or maybe have more humans bunched up? The music was fun, the dying sound effects were great! All in all a really fun experience! Thanks!
Never been a reaper before, so it's new to me :D
First attempt, I was experimenting the game, and the controllers, it took time, so I only collected 3 lives, but then the boss came and say I disappointed him, i then noticed that there were timer counting. So in the following attempt i focused on collecting 10/10 lives, and I did at the last couple of seconds, but the big guy said I disappointed him again.. I kept trying, but he always say I'm disappointing him, so I assume there is something broken in the game loop/logic.
I would recommend you show the controls at the main menu, may be making the UI larger, specially the time so I can see it, may be the countdown timer make sound of ticking at least when your time is near an end.
The souls/people, might need to be more at first, at least at first time to play, so player don't need to keep walking more just to reach one person in the middle of no where. Also fixing navigation will be nice, as the people used to walk through the fountain.

@bitzawolf Aww thank you! Glad you could enjoy the game despite it being a bit short. We plan on implementing a fix that will allow for a longer playing experience. Who knew paying rent could be so fun ;)
@mamoniem Thanks so much for trying out our game and for your thorough review! These are great suggestions and we are planning on implementing a fix for the points you have mentioned. Regarding the scoring, this is a known bug, if your score count reaches 0 when he is deducting the souls, you lose, even if you got 10/10. You will need to get 11+/10 to actually pass.
Great gameplay, simple graphics. I like your interpretation of the theme.
When you kill people and it cuts off their scream when they disappear, that's hilarious. Fun game.
I loved the little animations for the dudes I was killing, and their screams that got cut off as I sliced 'em in half. Fun game, I could only last a few days at best.
landlord of hell is a very cute devil
The art style is wonderful, especially the fire effects! It's a good concept, but I wish each level was a bit more varied instead of just doing the same thing repeatedly. I also had the issue with 10/10 being a loss, and found the UI too small. Especially on the main menu - the buttons wound up in the bottom corner and blended into the background, so it took me ages to figure out how to start the game! It's not quite balanced in terms of time or amount of people, but it's still an enjoyable game.
