This is straight up beautiful despite being just "Tetris with physics". The art, the ambience, the voice acting... top-notch stuff.

I love that you have a README and License file (main criteria for open source category); for your README, next time add some things that showcase what your game is, and an introduction to your game. Ie. use what's on your game submission page, for your README: https://appo08.itch.io/the-souls-balance
The text is a little hard to read with yellow on yellow; maybe make it a little darker and it'll be easier to read. The game though, love it! Great take on the theme, I'm enjoying the voice overs, and music, they add a really nice touch to the game. The graphics are amazing. I like that you really thought about how to put this together. Nice job.
The art is gorgeous! And it is very interesting take on the balance theme. Though I couldn't figure out how to play to win and the sound was very quiet for me idk why

Lootcycle Inc.Love the game! The art is fantastic, the idea amazing and I love how you get to know stories through the different pieces. The voice overs sound professional, although they were quite quiet until I turned up the volume by a decent bunch. Great game!

Prophet's ChoiceGreat great entry! I absolutely loved the atmosphere your game created, especially the voice lines for each soul being judged—it really set the tone and pulled me into the experience right away. The gameplay was also a lot of fun: intuitive and engaging.
It seemed like the game didn’t have a clear ending? Maybe adding a scoring system could make it even better! Also, I really enjoyed the special Tetris mechanic—if it appeared more often or had more variations, that would be SUPER awesome.
Also, the art was also great. Well done!
By the way, my entry used the same Egyptian mythology story as yours! But the tone and gameplay are quite different, haha. If you get a chance, feel free to check it out too. 😄

Balance Ma'attersAmazing graphics and audio!! I was really drawn to the cover page, and the game did not disappoint. It's amazing that the team built out so many levels with complete audio tracks and gameplay. Massive kudos!

Jazz Jazz RevolutionI love the topic of balancing joys and regrets in life. Great symbolism. 10/10 theme.

Traveler ShiftI like graphics but the sound was really low for me (not the quality, the level).
At start I was thinking there is no sound and after reading some comments I've returned to the game and pushed volume on my PC to max for hearing something.
