The visuals are cute and the dialogue is fun and entertaining. Great Work!
Thank you for playing !! <3
Pretty cool. I died a gazillion times to see all the lines! Good work
Thank you for playing!! <3
AMAZING GAME! Love the sense of humor and artstyle.
Thank you very much for playing!! <3
this is absolutely hilarious. the death aura doesn't actually do anything, or anything I noticed. but still, it wont keep me from my one true love. :)
Thank you very much for playing!! <3
Also, the death aura is supposed to spawns 3 fireballs that rotate around the player so you need to time your collisions with the demons, otherwise they're killed.
Did they not appear?
well I saw the fireballs rotating around me and tried to hit enemies with it, but it didnt seem to work, maybe I just didnt sit there long enough, I did just keep running into the enemies on purpose after all. lol
Ah alright.
I thought I had messed up the fireball spawning somewhere, but you're simply a dodging master, nothing I can do about that hahaha
I mean, how could I not to get back to my one true love.? :)
This is such a genius, funny game. I don't even know how to verbalize how much I enjoyed it. This is by far the best game I've played for this jam and you clearly put a lot of effort into this!
Thank you very much for playing !! <3
I loved the art style and the dialogue was really well written. Great game!
Thank you for playing!! <3
Sup I'm back I want to stay here with you :), literally the fun thing to do is dead, a very fun game, I like playing it.
Thank you for playing!! <3
the humor in this game is just awesome and i like the cartoony art and dialogues XD check out my game if you can ;)
Thank you very much for playing!! <3
Great game. The concept seemed boring at first and I was reluctant to play, but after a couple rounds I was really enjoying it. The humour was great and I loved the art style.
I feel like the camera should shake on impact with the enemy, rather than the launch of the spell, and I think the enemies could have exploded more violently but that's a bit nitpicky. Overall, I think this game is another top contender
Humour should be a category
Thank you very much for playing and for the feedback !! <3
Ah damn I completely missed the fact that I had to say "No".
I honestly don't think you need to guide the player to pick the no option. Who ever gets it will have fun, whoever doesn't - will read the comments lol
I love this approach to game design. Well done!
Thank you very much for playing!!
I still think I should have had a pop up after a few deaths with a small tip, since hoping a player reads the comments isn't great game design haha.
I'm glad you enjoyed it <3
Maybe, have the reaper tell the player something like "I mean.. Are you sure? You keep dying and nothing happens. Maybe you should just let go" and than lead to the conversation after this. Although this is the same as a hint when I think about it.
I see what you did it here...
The design is really clever!! You start by thinking this is another "top down shooter" (well, he's technically that :/) where you have to save the humanity, but then you die, because of course you do, the first cycle is designed to be lost, and then you meet death and here is were the game really shines in design: you have the possibility to take the first route (the devs will hopefully understand, i'll try to keep it as spoiler free as possible) that will get easier and easier the more you die, but you also have the second route, where it's the complete opposite, and i think that this rute is what the devs are trying to push forward because the first cycles are super hard, so it's almost guaranteed that you'll die at least 4/5 times and you'll encounter at least one funny joke, that will push the player to switching the route they're taking (again, the devs will hopefully understand why this is correlated)
THIS GAME IS AWERSOME!! THE HUMOR IS HILARIOUS!! THE GRAPHICS ARE GREAT!! THE MUSICS ARE FANTASTIC!! 11/10 SUPER RECCOMENDED!! GOOD JOB!!
Reading your comment had me with the biggest grin on my face. You're exactly right, that was what I tried to do!!
I wanted to make a game that was more that meets the eye.
That reaction of "another top down shooter" was completely intentional, because Jonas Tyroller himself dissed those games so I wanted to try and make something creative with it by merging a completely different genre (a comedic dating sim) with it hahaha.
I'm really glad you liked the game and thank you very much for playing!!! <3
Great game! I laughed a lot, and the gameplay and artstyle are just perfect. I have no criticisms, I love this :)
Thank you for playing!! <3
I absolutely loved this. Incredible work! The art, the music, the witty writing, and the solid gameplay are all superb. Please keep working on this if you think you can take it further :)
Thank you very much for playing!! <3
Very nice concept idea.
Cool art style and death looks great :)!
Fun to play and enjoyed it
Thank you very much for playing!! <3
Really like it, but after a while I got tired of reading, other than that, this game was perfect. Overall a great game!
What a great game. Im now in love with death. thank you
Hahaha I'm glad. Thank you very much for playing!! <3
I love this game.
Thank you very much!! <3
Really impressed me :D
I tried so hard to kil myself at the end of this game :D
its awesome and the ending was really satisfying. Also it fits the theme really good.
Thank you very much for playing!! <3
I loved it. The only con is that it's a bit slow and I don't understand if I make any progress at all sometimes
Thank you very much for playing!! <3
The goal for the "dating sim" part of the game is to off yourself and try to progress the relationship with Death, whenever you make progress a new dialogue tree will appear, as well as showing a small text under "Wave 1". But I understand that I might not have been very clear on that in game (the problems of making a game in 72 hours haha). Thank you for your feedback! <3
I just kept choosing the same dialogue options, thinking of it like "making decisions" XD
But eventually I understood you have to pick every single one of them
The ending is hilarious
You don't have to pick every single one, there is a correct path to winning Deaths heart ;)
I'm glad you enjoyed the ending, it seemed only fitting haha
This game is awesome. I love the concept.
I've played this game more than any of the games I've played so far. The only thing that made me stop playing was that I was sleepy and had to go to sleep. (Not because your game was boring)
The art-style is amazing. I like how you used light to make certain things seem important. The camera shake is perfect.
I love how you made Death feel like they're an actual person by giving them so many voice options and giving them realistic responses.
I only have 3 very minor criticisms; I couldn't figure out how to use the power of the gods Death gave me, I feel like the demons' hitboxes could be a bit bigger and I couldn't beat the game.
If Jonas doesn't give you a free Steam key for Will You Snail, I will be very disappointed in him.
Thank very much you for playing!! <3
The are a few power of the gods, but most of them are automatic (like the kill on collision, extra health and aura) so I'm guessing you're talking about the "Power of Death" that he gives you, which is actually the last (and most ridiculous) one before the ending of the game.
If you press the right mouse button, everything will die and you will skip the wave, this makes it stupidly easy to just get the normal ending of the game by spamming the right mouse button. However if you want the ending with Death, you just gotta "off yourself" once again and completely ignore that power haha.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, I had a lot of fun making it, thank you once again!! <3
