Use of the limitation
No matter what keys you sacrifice, you'll never reach your goal. Maybe you'll even loose more.

None again. Next time I'll bake some, pinky promise.

This game is very unique. It's not actually possible to go to heaven, right?
I confess I repeatedly tried not blocking the space bar and typing "I am!" as fast as I could as I fell into nothing haha, but I wasn't able to. Interesting use of the limitation.
The graphics are also really good. I remember you from a past game jam, the Depths one I think? The art style is unmistakeable. It's so cute!
I was a bit confused about the typing at first. I think maybe more feedback after typing a letter you already used up would make it clearer that it can't be used anymore. Other than that, the game is really interesting. Good job!
Thank you for playing my game and for the detailed comment!
Indeed, it's not possible to go to heaven. The narrative is a bit lacking here because I didn't have much time, but the angel/god is actually messing with you and just wants you to sacrifice your keys (and your relationships with your loved ones) for nothing. The good end is just managing to limit the damage and having the good keys to have positive interactions with the character in each level, so that Lucifer thinks that ur cool and you can chill in hell with them.
You're actually not the first one to try and jump in the void while trying to enter the answer as fast as you can! Fun fact just for you : there's an anwser if you actually manage to do that, it says "What? We don't want cheaters in Heaven!" or something like that.
Yes!!! That's me! It was my first Mini Jam and also first jam as a dev. I'm actually more of an artist and have only been picking up on game dev lately. That means a lot that you like the art, because I always try to give it a polished feel even if the game is very rough.
I want to keep working on the game and add more content, so I'll keep your feedback in mind! Another friend even told me that there was "a bug" where the letters would not be printed, so apparently it wasn't very clear...
All in all, thank you again for your comment and your time! Have a good day!
Lovely visuals, cool concept.
The typing mechanics is cool but having to type out the entire thing is a bit annoying, Maybe you could show which keys are already used and just block out the option.
I'm a little confused what's going on but concept is good :)
Nice work, congrats!!
Nice! I really like the typing mechanic! great use of the theme!
cool artwork! I like the use of the limitation here. Good job
Very nice game, I liked the style of the drawings.
The only problems were the keys to use, too far apart. To conclude, I might have added some music in the initial sequence of writings. For the rest it is a good game.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to test the game!
Maybe that wasn't clear enough, but you dont have to hold down both keys to place a key down, it's a choice you have.
I hope next time I'll have time for some music!
