How does your game fit the theme?
Death is notoriously the "ender of lives". His role is to take lives/souls to the afterlife, however in this game, Death is saving the band members after they've already been killed by going back in time to figure out what went wrong. From "Life Ender" to "Life Saver". Also, Death's musical taste is rather subversive, who'd've thought?

Very cool game ! I manage to save the band but didn't understand the use of the bomb. But love that kind of game !
Really cool concept. At first I found it difficult to localise myself in the crowd, I thought I was in a cutscene! Well done, good work! :D
Thanks :D You're not the first to do so haha, something about it feels very cutsceney
Wow, this is amazing! I'm surprised how much you guys could get done in only 48 hours. Really solid on all fronts. The art style is really charming, the audio was great (especially the band's song) and the gameplay was full of neat little details (like the crowd reaction to death bumping into them).
We're happy someone mentioned the crowd reaction! It was a small thing but fun to have for sure. Thanks for playing! <3
Concept is really great . Simple but good art style. Loved the music
Thanks a bunch <3 We went for the style we thought would let us get some a kind of "finished" state haha
pretty neat and charming game, the concept is perfect for a murder mystery but its actually just a fairly simple puzzle rn.
love the music and low poly monopoly board game aesthetic
Thanks a lot <3 We appreciate it
I like the simplistic art style and atmosphere, and I liked the use of the time travel and Rumpelstiltskin's name, a simple but effective lock from people completing the game the first time around.
My only problem is that I wish you could've done more with scene, like more ways to save the band from dying and make for a longer experience, but I think you all did really well within the short time of the Jam
Thanks! We also wanted to do more with the scene and had plans to! Sadly the time constraints caught up with us though and we had to throw together some of the pieces last second.
I feel that, I wanted to do more with my game as well, but yeah, we can't go back in time like death can.
GG
Great visuals and audio! I didn't know what to do at first but after the first "explosion" things were clear. Great job!
Glad to hear you enjoyed playing.
We struggled to keep the objective clear as we shuffled a lot of the timings around in the final couple hours, while frantically bug fixing too!
First of all the graphics are amazing, this is the longest I've played a submission so far I really wanted to get to the end, really cool moment with remember the guys name after the reset, and there was just the right amount of tasks to do for a game jam, great dialogue too. I really like how the music builds up and characters are doing different things over the time, makes the area feel really alive. Really enjoyed this one.
Thanks :D we're glad to hear you think the task amount was just right. We wanted more but ran out of time and were worried it'd be too short.
graphics on point, gameplay on point, music on point. GREAT game!!
Thanks so much <3 We all worked hard and are glad it paid off!
This was fun. A little frustrating and tricky to sus out at times, but that makes solving it all the more satisfying. (That rug pull towards the end was so dastardly. XD)
The presentation is very pleasant and I liked the dialogue.
Only niggle was that it took me a while to notice the "Press E" prompt. It might also be handy if the prompt told you what you were picking up.
Glad you liked it! The prompt is definitely a "if we had more time we'd have...", But such is a Jam! Thanks for playing <3
Great catch on the theme, the graphics are very well done, this game flips Death's purpose, intertwining time travel and subversive music for an immersive experience.
Thanks :D it was fun coming up with something for reversing the roles. We figured death time looping could be interesting and we're happy to hear that it was a good experience :)
Love love love love this. LONG LIVE LOVEHARD
Thank you so much! Long Live LOVEHARD <3!
This is really cool! I love the polygonal art style and the puzzles are really fun!
Gotta rep MaxusCorkus for the lovely art. He put together so much so fast with us!
This game is a really clever spin on the theme! The puzzle is presented in a very open manner, feels like you get to explore even though there's only one way to beat it. Very nice!
Thanks!
We were a little unsure if the game is too open but didn't have enough time to iterate unfortunately.
Thanks for playing!
This game is awesome! well done <3
Thanks for playing! <3
Best game I tried so far.
We must be your first play haha. Glad you enjoyed it ^_^
Exploring the map was both funny and exciting, it was great!
Happy to hear you thought it was funny :D
When I saw the portrait I thought the game wasnt going to be much but then it looked great and the idea of saving everyone with the music while being death was great. I just found some player movement bugs but in which the player moved alone but it was ok. In conlcusion the game is very good and you should try it out. I found it a bit long for a jam even if it was just 10m max.
Appreciate the feedback, it was most of the teams first game jam so we weren't sure where to aim with the time. Glad you thought it was good though :)
