(Our first LD entry!) * Here are some things you can do in this game:
-Play as the 19-year-old cousin of Death (yes, Death with a capital D, the Grim Reaper, etc.) and terrorize suburbia
-Murder innocents
-Shop for groceries
-Buy a neat hat from Hell
-Fail to buy a neat hat from Hell
-Feel emotions (?) * Thanks for playing! (Note: all the character sprites are Maddi, because we ran out of time. Sorry about that! Just use your imagination.) *
CHANGELOG:
4.29.19: fixed some reset bugs so you can actually play the game, just like you’ve always dreamed!
4.30.19: fixed missing text bugs and updated the resolution, because we decided that you, beloved player, are worthy enough to read the dialogue.
Really high production values, very impressive! Too bad the mini-games were nothing to write home about. Which is not surprising, given that you've basically written 5 games in 72h!! I think it would have been much better to focus your efforts on a single mechanic, dialog trees for example. You already have a route which allows the player to take the grandma's soul instead of Tom's, so I think you could probably have made it so that most dialog choices allow you to take one soul, and you have to find the dialog choices which allow you to take two souls, e.g. both Tom and the grandma, or both Maddi and Luca, or both the mother and Olivia, etc. Even better, there could also be a secret pacifist run in which you befriend everyone by taking zero souls, and then they buy you an even cooler hat or something :)
The 19-year-old cousin of Death is very cute. Unfortunately I can't figure out the minigames at all... Got the equations rejected, got a "Game Over" after hitting the counter on time, etc. Despite that, somehow $40 showed up and I saw the ending. I don't know what's happening.
But the 19-year-old cousin of Death is very cute. And the soundtrack is awesome.
Also, come to think about it, wouldn't it be easier to just kill the people and take their money directly?
Anyway, the 19-year-old cousin of Death is very cute.
@gelisam thank you for the feedback! that's a really interesting approach, and we may take you up on that in the future!
@toasteater game overs from hitting the timer counter can still mean you won! it depends on the minigame. for example, delivering a love letter requires you to not run out of lives before the timer runs out. also, stealing money is bad etiquette ):
@lyrcaxis be sure to count how many bananas there are!
Interesting use of the theme. The levels are very hard, first time i didn't manage to win one of them, though the math problem didn't work. nice graphics and great music. good job!
It's so cute both graphics and sounds. I enjoyed the mini-games. One of the best game I played this Jam - congrats ! For a first LD entry I'm really impressed and I hope you will participate in the next LD :)
Cute and funny game! I had trouble with some of the minigames, so I liked that you can still complete the game even if you fail some of them. The art was really cute.
Congrats for doing that in 72h
