I really liked the idea, the narrative and the game itself.
It would be cool if the mouse cursor was a scythe or something like that.

Scored 139:137. Nice graphics and cool soundtrack.
Nice!
Fun game! Loved the dialogue between the two characters. Took me a second to realise what to do once the souls stopped spawning.
@undev-games I thought of it, but it kept going down in priority and before I knew it it was time to publish. On the "cutting floor", so to speak, are also different type of souls with different behaviours, some animations, and the like

@theherborist Game Jamer life hahaha
The music is pretty epic, along with the whole atmosphere. I did find myself just holding down the scythe to attack, maybe a cooldown could prevent this. The howl of the skulls gave me chills, also looked really cool flying past you!
@svemir Cooldown is also on the TODO list... :laughing:
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice idea! Cool humor and graphics. The urgency of always having something to do works well. I would like more events to happen during the game! Great job !
Pretty nice game.
My finger now hurts because of the intensive clicking (I am bad at that king of stuff). Could not beat the Grim Reaper... I love there's a bit of story, the music is cool. Well done.
Great game!
Interesting concepts. Long clicks tire the fingers. Perhaps you could include some props and skills to add interest.
After a couple tries, I scored 158! Pretty happy with that, now to nurse my cramped hand...
Nice one, maybe it's juste me but the game feels too easy (especially when like me, you have a autoclick button on your mouse)... I like the graphics though.
@rezioz It might be. It's easily scalable though as the grim reaper's score is increased on a random event each tick.
A good foundation for a game exists here, it could be more challenging and fun if there were some things you can't hit with your scythe, to make it a bit more frantic like fruit ninja. Competing with the AI reaper did not make for good game pace as once you surpassed him, the game felt directionless. Overall good attempt with the graphics and style - the dialogue added some nice personality that not many other games have.
Nice take on the theme. The trail on the mouse was very satisfying. Good job!
It took me a while to figure out how to break the ice but once I did then it all started to make much more sense. The vibe was nice and seeing Thanatos gave me a chuckle lol. Thanks for sharing, I had fun with it.
It has good art, music was decent as well as gameplay.
But too easy with PC screens that has touch screens which I doubt most players have so no biggie. That made it boring fast, but then the game ended fast 😂 Which is to expect.
But pretty so solid entry regardless.
