Polished game is this! Nice that you have a narrative with choices and gameplay fitting it. Very good. If you want to make the jumping feel a little bit better, you can give it a variable jump duration (like in mario, the longer you hold the butten, the higher it jumps). But that was just a minor thing. Overall I really liked it!
The art style is great and the music is fitting, but otherwise, there isn't much to do. I managed to get to a higher platform on the second day and just hold Up to destroy everything. The instructions are also a bit unclear. Am I supposed to destroy everything? Just some things? It's certainly a good project. I wish there was a tighter game loop.
Saw this game tweeted on Newgrounds. Played it and enjoyed the mechanic! Had a laugh when the angel fell to the ground. I'm not sure what's the intended gameplay though but I just destroyed the obvious, beasts, clouds etc
That's a quite nice game. Gameplay is smooth, has pretty graphics and sound effects. Fits the theme very well. The only thing I would tweak is to show the objective immediately because it wasn't obvious to me that you can shoot clouds on the 2nd day (but I also don't read text). Overall it's a solid entry. Good job.
Interesting gameplay with a strange concept that suits well with the theme. I like the "your choices matter" thing in each day. Appreciate the work done in 72h. Well done!
10/10 this is an awesome take on "Keep it Alive". Needless to say the sprite work is fantastic, and sound design is spot on. Gameplay is sufficiently challenging, and the story keeps things interesting. Great job!
Very interesting game! I really love the atmosphere of the game. The music and the graphics really make it works. However respawning mutliple time at the begining of the first "board" is a little bit frustating when you have to walk through a lot of empty "board" again and again (maybe I died too many times :p ).
Very cool game, I love the transition between each level by "god" that's very clever. The gameplay feels smooth. Graphisms are so pleasant. The only bug i could say is humans when they disappear on the border of the screen. But that's a very good work !
Really fun game! The mechanics are great, it feels nice to control, and the story is really interesting! The music also really helps set the mood which makes this a very very good game!
Everything is spot on, the gameplay is smooth and easy to grasp, the graphism are really nice, the music is fantastic, the story is simple but allow for replayability if the 2 ending. A really cool game
Nice graphics, interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/BkQLNdwwwdM
Loved it! Feels really polished, I especially like the transitions (that landing feels really sick). Really cool way to implement the narrative with the theme and a sense of choice.
Hahaha, that was great. Loved the versatility of the gameplay, and that animation of the angel crashing down to earth is just pure gold. Easy, and fun to play, and the humour was wonderful. Very nicely done.
We streamed your game with Danae: link to Twitch VOD (approximate timestamp)
Very nice, the graphics are preetty and coherent. From the start I was clearly trying to help the people, but it was a bit disappointing to see where that lead. In some rounds it took me a second to understand the goal, but maybe that was kind of the point. Bees and getting killed by detonating nukes both felt quite punishing.
Very nice idea and execution! Art style is also very cool. I had 2/2 ending and I like how resurrection after each [spoiler]nuke explosion[/spoiler] make you run again through the same world but now destroyed. The impact is bigger that way. Great job!
Lovely game! I really enjoyed it and played it three times to get the 2 endings (because I was dumb and got the same ending twice in a row). The platforming is annoying though: - Is the player supposed to wait for the water level to rise enough to get up that one hill that has a cloud platform added to it later on? - Why put bees RIGHT where the player is going to walk into them, forcing them to respawn and walk there all over again? - I kind of wish taking off was a separate button so I'd stop taking off before I'm done destroying absolutely everything by just holding the jump button and going through the levels. (I'm not even sure how you would pass some of them without doing that, i.e. the bees & if you make holy trees it's basically the only way to get past all the dogs and angry humans) - Also, it seems weird in the lumberers vs holy trees level that my "help humans" option is to kill the lumberers rather than making all the dead future bee-trees into healthy ones for them to chop down, or cause saplings to grow up even?
Also, I don't know if "I am once again asking for your ethereal support" was supposed to be a lowkey Bernie meme, but it made me giggle either way.
Had a lot of fun with it. Found it by accident while avoiding my backlog of games to play'n'rate in the next three days, lol. Guess this is one way to break the ice! Also, I love the angel's progression from faceplanting to cool superhero posing on landings, and the design of the Creator is really cool.
Like the graphics, the concept is original. However, I really not understand why we must respawn from the start of the level is particularly for the last level. Anyway, like to see a such original game for a short gamejam.

I got ending 2/2. But the last day was a bit tedious, because of the respawn location.
Great job overall !

-super hero landing!
-ending 1/2 (no spoilers ;))

sorry for getting you to nuke god :/
