Short and enjoyable. I especially liked the design of the more biblical angels in the final stage. 

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks! :)

Fun simple game which fits the theme nicely! I liked the sprite artwork of the freaky biblical angels. Great job on the submission  😎

Developer

Thanks! The Angel was my last design and it shows. Due to the 10 days deadline I didn't have time to update some of the first designs to get them on the same page, but I was really happy to see how far I came in this time.

A nice and simple game, the enemy patterns are clear, so you know what they will do next time, the visuals are very pleasing and cute, and it gets quite challenging in the last level XD

although I think dying is a bit weird? Since when you die you kinda bump into everything while going down, and it resets before you reach your body, it's not that big, but I wanted to address it.

Also, maybe shrink the player collider a bit? It feels like it's a bit big (maybe it's just my imagination tho, you know how humans think everything is unfair XD)

Developer(+1)

The colliders are already quite a bit smaller than the sprites are but I might need to go even further with that to account for the speed some of the enemies move at. Good point!

And I wasn't sure about how the dying works as well, in the end we decided to keep it this way.  But disabling the enemy colliders and only load in the level again once you hit the floor collider would have been great as well :)


Thanks for the feedback, all fair points I'll be taking account of for the next time we create a game :)

I couldn't beat Level 3 but that says more about me than you :)

Its a fun game, thanks.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and rating it :)

A polished and visually pleasing entry. Everything's cute in this one, especially the grim reaper punching an old man in the face xD I have no major criticisms :D

Developer

We're happy to hear that! :)

I beat level 3! At least Death never gives up on you haha Great job!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! :D

I kept dying, lol. I did figure out away around but they still got me in the end.

Developer

Haha yeah, Lvl99Chocobo finishes it without dying most of the time, but I also get stuck a lot :P

Thanks for trying it out :)

Submitted(+1)

Good job on this one. The player is easy to control. The objective is easy to figure out right away. The goal is simple. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the nice comment :)

Nice game you've made! Simple, addictive and also rewarding! Love it! Keep up the great work!

Developer

We will, thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Great work with this one guys, it was a lot of fun! It was challenging in the best possible way, and simple enough where I could get into it instantly. I love the vibrancy of the graphics and the choice of sound was superb.

(PS I wasn't expecting to see biblically accurate portrayals of angels towards the end, but it was a really good touch haha! :D)

Developer

The Angel was my last attempt for an enemy design and I'm really happy with how they turned out. Glad to see other people like them as well!

Wow that was a really fun experience! The theme and beginning animation made me laugh and smile! The game has a great progression of difficulty! Had me smiling the whole time! :)

Developer(+1)

Glad to hear that! :)

Submitted(+1)

That was really fun and the bright art style combined with the music was great! My favourite part though, was the little beginning animation when death touches the character. The whole thing made me smile

Developer

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

nice game! The mechanics is simple and straightforward, the challenge builds up as additional obstacles towards the pearly gates increase in number and difficulty. The gameplay is fun and challenging , some items to collect and power ups or additional abilities would be nice, but in itself is fun to play,  this is a game I would play while relaxing . Overall I enjoyed playing! congratulations! keep it up!

Developer

Thanks, I was thinking about power ups or collectables, but by day 8 I was happy to get this done :)

Submitted(+1)

I had a lot of fun playing, nice job on mixing up the different stages. 

Developer

Thanks, this was my first time building stages :)

I had fun playing this game! Nice art, I liked it. 

Developer

I like these kind of games...they are really addicting.
Solid gameplay! I love the idea to begin the game with the player getting killed by that "Grim-Clown". :D

Developer

Haha, Thanks for trying out the game ^^

Submitted(+1)

Very fun and addicting! I love the little tear drop on the human sprite when he dies.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! It was fun to think about little touches like those tears to add some personality. I'm glad you noticed!
