Nice job, I like the art, especially the animation of turning into the big soul eating fish(?)

I really like the art, the concept is great too,although i wish there was a bit more challenge in killing people and capture the souls.

It's cool that you can buy stuff with the souls you earn,i would think it would be nicer if some items would have a use for the gameplay, like upgrades.

I think it would be helpfull to have they controls on the screen when nothing is happening also.

Cool entry :)

Great concept. Just needs some audio, and maybe different controls for the consume a soul part. With the rotation on the sprite, it felt like pushing W should go forward instead of up the y-axis.

I really like the item progression and the notion that death is decorating their house. Great commentary-on-life game.

Great art style! Some audio would tie this all together nicely! Good job!

I liked the animation of death and upgrades! Only missing some music.

A really neat idea with nice art. It was fun decorating the house with your hard earned souls. Killing the same person over again felt a bit too repetetive though.

Yahhhh! First of all that shop was rly cool :D Even the battery thing there :) Also nice art. I feel like it could have used some music, but it was still okay. Gameplay was also good in my opinion. Great job overall, sorry for this stereotypical review, don't know what else to say XD

Love the art style; I bought everything from the shop thinking that will be the game over, but it wasn't. Overall good job, Congrats on your Jam! :thumbsup:

Also, don't forget to rate games! so the game can be officially ranked (The game is well done)

Main concept and graphics are very cool but the gameplay is a little boring, it would be better to have more challenge when capturing souls...

good work though!

Cool concept and neat art!

**Don't forget to play other peoples games!!!**

Nice game. I was confused what to do on start. Art is cool. But for better rating counts You should give more ratings to other games.

I like the idea considering this is a short game. Struggled to eat the souls though :) Good job.

I love the art! The gameplay gets stale pretty quickly, but the concept is great, so a polished and finished version of this game would actually be really fun.

A little repetitive but overall a solid entry! Just needed some music :musical_note: . I pimped out my office with everything red :fire: Graphics were real cute and consistent too!

Haha, this is a really funny and weird premise. I liked how you kill people just for a nicer living space :D
