A jam collab with @ranmaru90. Once again I needed help with coding...
"Have you ever felt like death just passed by you, without you knowing? Perhaps it did. It just took a comforting form. In this game, you play as the Grim Reaper. Claim ONLY humans that are marked with an X, ignore humans without an X or there will be consequences - Take a form they are comfortable in - like a cat, or a ball to glide by them without claiming their soul."
Instructions:
LEFT and RIGHT key to move LEFT SHIFT to switch to ball form, LEFT SHIFT again to go back to Grim Reaper form RIGHT SHIFT to switch to cat form, RIGHT SHIFT again to go back to Grim Reaper form ONLY CLAIM HUMANS WITH AN "X" ABOVE THEIR HEAD Ignore humans with no "X" by changing to a form that are shown above their head. Running into them in Grim Reaper form WILL take their souls forcefully.
Art assets, music by me Coding (in Unity2D) by ranmaru90
I enjoyed the game overall, especially the music and art, but the controls in the description seem to be wrong, I was shape shifting on pressing shift, not control.
In the end the game creates emotion so on this side I think it's great. I find the controls a bit tedious on the other hand. Anyway, good job, congrats
I had bigger plans but time got the better of us xD; I was planning for a final cutscene with the final soul and also to make the controls/visuals/UI more appealing than planned. Thank you so much for all the kind feedbacks!
THe thing that I like the most about this game is the mood. Really sad, despite its simplicity. I think you did a great job on that.
Gameplay was a little simple. And I don't understand why use two buttons that are at the opposite ends of a keyboard, but that is only a minor annoyance.
The art was nice and the quotes were somewhat chilling, but I did have a couple of issues with the gameplay. It was odd that I couldn't change between ball and cat form without shifting through death form first and there seemed to be very little leeway between someone appearing on screen and me colliding with them, leading to a few borderline unavoidable mis-kills. I did really like the concept though, even if the quotes did make me a little sad! Good job! :)
(Oh, I left a response to your comment on my page. I think it might just have been a case of slipping on one of the notes, the system is unfortunately unforgiving! If you have some spare time, please give it another shot! ^^)

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Loved the mood for this. Unfortunately on my computer there were lagging problems, so I couldn't complete the game. It would be nice to have some way to keep track of your progress.

Awesome entry, I love the nonchalance style of the cat-form :D
