Interesting concept!
The concept was great, the execution left room for improvement, but that isn't a bad thing. I immediately knew what needed to be done, but the connections didn't always seem to align correctly. I think some additional play testing could have helped here!
The idea is quite original and not something I've seen before in this way!
I played three times and each time I did not understand what I was supposed to be doing though. My guess was to match reaper traits with traits on the top card, but I lost points when I would have expected to gain points.
For example, one person likes gastronomy, but when I click the reaper who likes cheese and wine, that resulted in a failure, even though in my opinion those traits fit together.
The theme is only loosely met in narrative, and even then, it's not quite a strong connection. I like that not everyone made a game about ice and penguins though :D
Hey, yeah, I initially wanted to have a system where there were more than one match but with a decreased score increment if it wasn't the most perfect match. I ran out of time to implement it.
Your assessment is correct :')
I like the game! pretty fun idea I knew pretty quick what I needed to do although I wasn't the best at it 😅 I enjoyed it either was though! Also the one death that has an interest of being a bottom was hilarious. Great submission!
Nice, fun game. I immediately knew what I was supposed to do, matching the card with the top person based on the traits. Although I would’ve liked to check my reapers info before hand so I don’t lose time reading all of them for the first time while having to make a match.
Overall was a good game, nice concept and I liked the match info card mechanic.
Thanks for playing and for the valuable feedback!
Very good game!! nice concept and a simple and entertaining gameplay! good job
Thank you!
Nice little game. At first I did not really understand what I had to do but I eventually figured it out and managed to make Death warm.
Glad you could make death warm :')
I was running out of time to choose the right reaper very stressful and fun!
I like the funny descriptions. You really had me thinking which kinds of people are compatible. Nice job :D
thank you for acknowledging the humour, haha!
Cute little game, would love to see it expanded upon! Great work!
Thanks, man!
An oddly sweet concept :) Reaper Kafka reminded me of the book series "Scythe" since it has reapers who take on a name of someone they admire, i.e. Scythe Curie (as in Marie Curie).
How fascinating — never read the Scythe series! Thank you for playing the game :)
Charming little game. I know it's been said about getting feedback, I was a little lost as to what to do, but that's easily solveable with a small tutorial. Good job!
yeap, will always add tutorials next time i game jam :)
Nice and simple with a theme that fit the jam well! I was a little confused on what to do at first, so a tutorial or more in game feedback would help. Some of the characters have funny descriptions haha. Good stuff!
Interesting game idea, it seems pretty unique. I was confused a bit with the freezing to warm meter thinking I was meant to do something with it but then read a previous comment. The music is very suiting to the theme too. Well done on your submission
Nice concept!
Interesting. Wasn't really sure what I was doing, but I eventually figured it out - a little tutorial would have been helpful. Definitely a cool idea though!
Yayy! I made their deaths warm（＾ｖ＾）. The game was quite engaging and some of the reapers interests were hilarious hahaha. Congrats on your submission sidharthpraveen42!
Super original idea for this theme. Gameplay wise there isn't much feedback. You could have made this game a lot better with some polishing(such as the cards look more like resumes and get bigger on hover, or shake little, some camera shake when you pick wrongly and something like a ding noise when correct) and adding days(with different reapers and people) to make it longer.
Interesting concept, was a little confused at the start, though its details and the art is nice. Could do with some polishing like making sure the slider isn't interactable.
I had no idea that the slider was interactable. Like it 's not even supposed to be; i am so confused. Thanks for pointing it out!
I forgot to unclick a bloody checkbox lol to make sure the slider isn't interactable.
