Love the graphics and the music for the game, controls feels solid and doesn't have much problem with it. And to top that you've manage to implement an option for the gamejam time frame!
Only concern here was the ghost were running really fast when the reaper was near and the only way to catch them is when bump into objects, maybe tuning down the ghost speed so the reaper can still catch them even without the obstables.
All in all great entry, Cheers!!
Thank you! Looking back on it, I should’ve added a setting to tune the ghost speed, I guess it didn't really cross my mind.
Very fun game !
Surprisingly, it's closer to a racing game, where the goal is to go fast and avoid obstacles. This concept is very nice !! Controls felt incredibly smooth, and I loved the option to customize the input (congrats on implementing the option for a jam game !).
The music is pretty nice but the clock ticking for the last 30 secs was a bit much. It could've been a sound effect at 30 sec and then ticking for the last 10.
Huge congrats on a very successful jam entry !
Thank you! The clock was something I was contemplating on changing to only the last 10 seconds, but I ended up forgetting to actually change that before I submitted.
Really simple but cool idea, the game feels really nice to play! I got 20 ghosts before smashing my skull against a bush but that was worth it.
Congrats! :)
Thank you! I really tried to make the gameplay feel fun to play, so I’m glad to see so much positive feedback.
I really like the concept! It might've been nice if the Help bit plays at the beginning of each game? I didn't realize you could dash until I was poking around the settings, and I didn't look through the Help info until after I'd played a few times.
I am blown away by all the accessibility and game customization features you implemented. It's very very impressive. Love the art and audio too 🤍
Thank you! I’m not really too sure about the help thing, I left it behind a button but I can see how you might’ve missed it if you just skimmed through or didn’t click it. I really tried to add as many accessibility features as I had time for this time, so I’m pretty proud of how much I could fit in.
Damn, I'm so bad I die even as the grim reaper :-(
Haha, yeah the floaty speed can be a little difficult at lower healths if you’re not used to it.
Clever game idea. I had a really difficult time dodging all the obstacles. I thought it was a really fun idea being a grim reaper and chasing ghosts around. :)
Thank you! I'm really proud of how the movement in this game turned out, I think it's my most fun of the games I've made so far.
Nice game! The music and pixel-graphic sprites were extremely pleasing and made the game a lot of fun to play. It felt really good to slide around as the reapers, and I see you said you spent some time tweaking that. I loved all your settings, especially rebindable keys! My only complaint is that I couldn't rebind mouse button! It made it too difficult to play for long on my laptop. Otherwise great work and great submission!
Keep making games!
Thank you! I got the controls screen from a tutorial, and so I was going to tweak the code a bit to allow for mouse rebinding, but I ended up just running out of time before I could make the changes.
Loved the game, super fun! Sliding around and taking damage from bumping into stuff is very clever and gives a unique feel to the game. I just wish the scythe attack had a more exaggerated animation so it would feel more powerful. Great submission!
Thank you! I’m not the best at slash animations, so I’ll keep that in mind for the next time I something similar
Nice art, and game, but I think if the dash/slide was with the right mouse button it will be better experience. Other than that, it's good.
Thank you! I wasn’t able to figure out how to get mouse rebinding for the controls to work before I ran out of time, so I wasn’t able to fix that unfortunately.
Nice entry. The dash and slide felt nice. Took me a minute to realize that the grim reaper was at risk of dying. The irony!
Thank you! The movement of the game was probably what I spent the most time just tweaking numbers for and just playtesting, so I'm glad it turned out great.
