Nice idea for the game, I like how they both have their own skill sets, would be nice to get a dash dodge action so you can avoid enemies a bit easier. Another thing would be to definitely make the dialogue skipable if you die in one shot, made it frustrating to restart the level as the characters would talk for too long. look at how hotline miami does it, really really fast restarts, makes these types of games very nice. Great work other than that!

Whilst i enjoyed the concept, the game lacked a means of dodging and blocking - this made levels unbeatable due to the level being swarmed with bullets. I think if given more time you could have made this less irritating to play and maybe gave the more unique attacks rather than slashing and shooting. As a start it looks okay though I felt you could have added more textures, I did not like the chess board tiles it made everything look so busy to look at. I think this comes down to a lack of time, but then again, I don't think a block or a dodge would be too hard to program especially if its a bullet hell style game.

I absolutely adore both of the characters appearances, and I love their differing abilities! I like the large sweeping AOE slash on the first girl, and the ranged dual pistols on the second. The first two levels are the perfect amount of difficulty for learning the game, though I might say the third is a tad bit too difficult, haha. I couldn't beat it, but I could tell that the point was for you to die on purpose to use the ranged weapon. I think this could be improved by making it so you can see the enemies on that stage from the center platform. I was kinda just shooting blindly and hoping it would hit, but they never did. 

Also, the first person perspective when you die is really cool, though a little disorienting. Perhaps a little pause when zooming back out before resuming gameplay would help recenter the player. But I really enjoyed seeing from the 2D character's perspective, that's super cool and unique! 

Spectacular job on this, I really liked it, and it's one of the highest ratings I've given this jam! I hope you continue to work on this game post jam, or any games really, as I'm very excited to see more from you in the future. Amazing work! <3 

Hi! Odd here, thank you for hanging out with me on steram ^^ I like the way you implemented the theme, where you can earn a second life through battling as a spirit :D Here were the talking points during stream ^^ 

1- Skip tutorial probably needed haha XD 

2- Dialogue UI more central

3- I still have 0 idea how I bugged your game where I was XD 

4 -  Maybe an easier way to ease in and out of the perspective when you get into focus-mode. (that or freeze projectiles until you are fully in control) this way the down doesn't become up in the middle of battle :)

That's all I have though, congrats on your submission ! This was great and I hope to see more from you :))

I love the simple graphics and the use of text for sounds and 'blood' etc. is really clever. 

Someone else mentioned about the text boxes which I'd have to agree. If the game pauses to show them, it might be better to display them in more of a visual novel fashion? like center bottom of the screen, to be clicked through. I think it would match the style of the game as well.

I got to a room with a lot of people and got zoomed into first person which totally threw me off, and i was not quite sure what to do... needless to say when i died it absolutely WAS a skill issue LOL

this is a neat concept and I think it has some wonderful stylistic choices, very strong premise. Cant say ive seen anything like it

i hope after than jam you guys  can come back to this and continue working on it cuz this has real potential!

That's tough! Cool entry. Definitely enjoyed using the scythe. It just had great feel. Good job! 

Haha, i got bodied the second I got into the room with the boss fight.

Although I think sound would of made this game 3x better it was really fun to play. I loved the words that popped up they felt super satisfying. The art and design is simple but the game works great with it. I do wish the text boxes where more centered as I completely missed them for like a solid minute. Overall a very solid game and ya'll should be very proud. Really cool!!

Gameplay is super solid, Despite no music, the little words that showed up kind of made it for it a little, very smart and intuitive to add when you can't add audio! 
This definitely has potential, I'd like to see maybe some variation in the combat styles, like maybe as a ghost you can gain like an invincibility power up since you are a ghost.

But cool stuff nonetheless! Great job!

I wish it had music and or sounds, I didn't hear anything but cool idea! may you check out mine too?
