Have you ever wondered about the afterlife? No? Well... fine. But let's pretend you had for a moment. What happens to your soul when you die? How do you get from one world to the next? Meet Cheryl and Sonia! It's their job to make sure the good guys go up and the bad guys go down. Grab your game controller, hop on your PC, and get ready to find out just how crazy a job they have!

Best played 1P or 2P with a single Xbox controller. (Left stick for Sonia the reaper, right stick for Cheryl the angel.) Can also be played with WASD/Arrow keys.

Nice done, I laughed out loud at the sound fx.

Game looks very good :)

Cool idea! Found myself wishing I could do levels perfectly, or do chunks perfectly. Realized it'd be pretty hard! The sketched art was a pretty nice touch, as were the sounds.

Nice game. I find it difficult to play alone, but 2 players can have a lot of fun together. The graphics are polished and the gameplay fast to learn.

Nice tight gameplay, excellent music, no bugs (that I could see :P) and cool to see a 2P game. Good work!

Well done, graphics are great love the animation ^^, the idea is simple but that's hard ! I'm a at it :D, this would make a nice two player coop game (much easier ^^).

Nice game. :)
I think this could be really good as a co-op/competitive game. But, I didn't find it as fun as a single player one...

"Percentage of souls herded: 66.67%" Man, I truly am a natural at this Heaven/Hell stuff.

Controls feel a bit weird, but I'm pretty sure that's related to character positioning more than an actual technical issue; having the game go horizontally would be a lot easier on the brain.

Handdrawn art and audio are great. Game flows smoothly, without any major issue.

Good job!

21600 was my score! I think there was a bit too much on the screen to manage everything (I played with keyboard), maybe if the people moved slower or if there were less people. I did like the bouncing back and forth mechanic, maybe focus on that for something to move forward with? overall I liked the concept!

Looks fabulous, extremely tough to play. Excellent work!

Nice game. Really enjoyed the artwork and all the little side comments being made. Overwhelming to play by yourself but I could see this being a good co-op game.

This is just a little bit annoyingly hard. I just feel like crap when I miss even one, which makes it frustrating to me. Good quality on the gameplay and the art though. Very smooth and gorgeous.

A very hard game for me. Guess I'm not that good at multitasking =). Excellent graphics.

Feel free to post your overall % and high score. (And difficulty levels if you changed them!) Playing a little bit of soul pong might be the secret to a high score. (Or not!)

Very nice graphics! It really bent my brain trying to keep both characters moving. I would have liked to see my score after each game though. Overall, a really impressive game!

Love the ambient sounds that combine with the music.

Some very nice artwork and music/sound. The gameplay was a little chaotic and I felt like I should be catching them all but I guess that's not supposed to happen.

Nice graphics and atmoshpere, although the voice overs get a tad annoying after a while. Really hard to play alone, got a bit over 60% herded correctly. Cool options menu, should've probably set it to something easier than the default mode before playing.
