Great concept. I really enjoyed it!

has a lot of style and fun personality! art and style was solid, and sound design good as well.

couldn't get past the first level, but I guess I am a lousy judge of character lol. was a bit unclear what was good and bad since there was no other feedback except for end-day stats, but maybe that's just part of the challenge- it was fun either way!

@humnyn Thank you! There's audio cues for those! I didn't have time for the visual ones! You get laughed at if you do it wrong!

Great visuals and audio but a little hard, overall great for a game jam.

I played God, and I loved it. Actually, judging these people was kind of tough after awhile. It really weighed on my soul (no pun intended). Do people who love stealing deserve hell? What if they never stole?

Anyway, amazing graphics! Very thematic and atmospheric. Loved every minute of it. Wish it was a tad easier. Never got past the first day. Good job

I think the prank is it's not possible to win. But maybe I'm bad. I had 25 right but was still dead after the first shift.

@alphazeba Its beatable! I definitely made it too hard it seems. There's now a WebGL build thats more forgiving. This still does not make it easy! At the end of the day the amount you get wrong docks your pay. I lowered that amount now. 25 right is awesome too! Appreciate the feedback.

What a clever idea! I'm a big papers please fan, and this checked a lot of the same boxes. Trying to quickly read through the things and make a judgement call was pretty fun. However, I think the scoring must be broken, I scored 16 right and 4 wrong and got 0 points, which doesn't seem right. Also, your flickery font hurts my eyes a little. Great idea, and well done

I don't care how much you helped other people, you wrestle snails you're out, bucko.

Some of the qualities were a bit arbitary, which made it entertaining. But I didn't get much feedback until the end so I couldn't tell what the game wanted me to pick until too late.

Fun idea!

It reminded Peace, Death ^^ Nice job!

Great sound and awesome game art!love it!

This is a good idea ! :D Everything worked very fine. The effect on the computer screen was cool but sometimes it was quite not readable

How to know what is a sin? Haven't manage to beat day 1

Was a rapper -> sin Ate domestic casts -> sin Was rich -> sin Snorted M&Ms -> sin etc. atleast for me xD

Really nice entry here, I loved the interpretation of the theme :)

mamoniem 2019-05-01 18:14

"Hated Strawberry" of course sending her straight to hell!!

I love your game, it is simple, easy to understand, and funny to play even with that simple clicking controller! It reminded me with papers Please, but in more ironically way!

Good graphics for a jam game, nice music and amazing evil laugh! Well-done!

>uses bae unironically [slams hell button] CHRISTO

okay, this got a good chuckle out of me. game's easy to understand but hard to master, and has heaps of charm to bounce off of! really love this submission.

Really nice entry pal. Like graphics and gameplay but just suggest more complex detail in soul to improve lifetime. But love what you made for this theme. Keep it up pal !

Things I didn't like: - The game has many subjective phrases, like I think people that never showered must go to hell and what is wrong about fondling crabs? xD. It makes us lose to learn the mechanics. I don't know if this is the best approach to teach new players. - At the first playthrough I did something like 15/3, because of the previously point, and lost. Again, for the first round, getting 80%+ right and losing, it's not so balanced I guess. - The choice of putting the scan lines was not a good one. It certainly gives the game a personality, a uniqueness. But it worsen the gameplay, which I think is the priority of the players, given the challenging nature of the game.

Things I liked: - The audio is veeeery good, everything about it. The shop, the title, the sound effects, everything is very pleasant. - The pixel art works, it's nice. I liked the style too, jesus and lucifer dressed like office people. - The devil deals were a nice variance to the gameplay, allowing players to choose to take the risk or not. I noticed the catch, that it would be difficult to send EXACTLY X sinners to heaven, and even so I lost haha, it was fun. - After learning which phrases are bad and which are good, the game becomes much more enjoyable. The mechanic of immediately sending someone to hell/heaven let people that got the idea of the game to just be as good as they can, only limiting themselves by their own hability. I felt that I was doing very good and fully entered in "the flow zone" where I didn't blink and my mouth was a little opened hahahaha. I was just living the game, very difficult to do. I was very satisfied with my performance.

Very fun game, well done. ldHs.png

When I was first figuring out how to play I sent a lot of people to hell that didn't deserve it :)

Well made solid entry. Funny at times. Worked well on my device. Good job

Nice funny game! I appreciated the clear instructions and well designed dialog system. My only complaint is that in my browser at first I had a hard time reading "hell" and "heaven" :D
