- I wish I had an offscreen indicator for the souls, but this was a fun and hectic play, especially trying to dodge haunting souls at the end
- Great art style, great execution, gameplay feels good, fits the (anti)theme. Good job, well done!

What to say... mmmmmh.... that's just impresive what you've done for only a week-end. The gameplay is really nervous and well balanced with a moment where difficulty is here and became a real challenge. The dialogue at the opening make me laughing :) the art is good like the sound design. nice HUD and MENUs.
It's a really nice and fun game ! You did a lovely job on both visuals and sounds, giving it a true retro feel. It may need a little bit of balancing to make it more challenging (e.g. red ghosts taking more and more energy, giving less and less time to take care of the "sprout", red ghosts moving faster and faster, etc) but I had a good moment playing it. Good job :)
Very nice game! I feel like getting some ghost do give you too much energy and that the red one do not take you enough energy, making it quite simple in the end! :)
Nice one anyway :)
Super nice game, I really like it! Love the feel of it, and as the others wrote, it feels very polished. Congrats!!
Thanks for taking the time to play and comment!
Pretty polished for a game jam game!
Thank you, I do my best to try to add some satisfaction to the game play.
Very solid gameplay and extremely well polished content, congrats on your perfect entry.
Thanks!
Really cool! Creative, interesting, fun to play and looks great! Love it.
thank you!
I love the graphics of this game, very well done! The idea of having to tend souls to the afterlife was great, and a fresh take on the theme - I love what you did with the title. It was also really simple (in a good way!) and easy to understand, whilst getting harder and harder as you went on, which added some really nice challenge and I think if you added some more obstacles over time, different types of spiritual creatures or something, that would help make the game even more intense the more you played. The artwork was wonderful as well, and I particularly loved the portraits, as well as the whole cutscene, which added some nice background info to the game and was a good tutorial as well. The title screen was a nice touch too, with the gravestones. It was a great game, nice work!
Oh, and my final score was 2916 - good score or bad score?
Hey, thank you for the kind words. my teammate marcklopp did the title and the portraits and I agree the came out great! I don't know how well people are scoring generally but my first try after the final balancing i got 2841. my little brother scored over 6000 though, beaten at my own game lmao.
