I love the way being dragged around feels! I only managed to get 10 as a hi-score. Lovely art style and music as well (something about the chord reminds me of I think Beast's Castle music from Kingdom Hearts).
It was initally confusing - I think I had to break the boxes for the soul like in the tutorial, but then it's on the boat - and I also thought the vases dotted around were the urns.
Other than that, super cool idea!
I'm glad you had fun with our little game!
In writing the music, I felt I ought to add a whimsical nature to it, so I decided to use some borrowed chords and such. I'm glad somebody picked up on it!
We're aware of how difficult the box is to see, and it's something we'd like to fix in future. None of our pre-submission playtesters had an issue with it initially but once the submissions were closed and people began to stream it, we found missing the box was a common occurrence. Oh well! It'll be fixed once the voting period's over!
We also want to add some new game modes and perhaps even online multiplayer, but I can't say for sure.
Thanks for your feedback!
Nice game! I love the idea, and the graphics are great. The souls are a bit annoying though :P (That's a compliment). You could just add different power-ups maybe?
Well done!
Very nice art and super smooth to move, lots of character in the theme too, great game !
Great art style, I liked the movement also. With enemies that deal real damage, this game will be very challenging!
Cool game! Nice implementation of the theme! I liked how every soul has a different character and changes the way the game plays! Well done!
Very solid art style and an original idea, really nice take on the theme, good work :)
VERY COOL GAME :) I love this game cause it's just so fun. The art is just amazing :)
very cute. music is sooo fun and messages are funny. i sucked on my 1st run!
Love this one, the souls all have a personality and they really hate you lol, very cute little game.
A fun game! I like how the souls tried to attack you and had their own personalities. I would have liked it if the urns got progressively further and further away as the game went on as some of the spawning places for the urns were far easier than others. Overall I really enjoyed it!
This is actually a great suggestion, if we ever update the game I think we should add it!
Unique idea. I like that the ghosts trash talk you.
Nice graphics and audio! it's really polished. It took me sometime to realize that the "soul pot" is right on my boat. The idea is very interesting ! feels like a babysitter and the souls are very funny xD
Had fun with it, thanks! Just a random idea - would it be nice if the soul movement are combined with the music like a rhythm game does ?
Thank you! In regards to rhythm mechanics, in the wise words of professor Oak: betairya! There's a time and a place for everything! But not now.
xDDDDD I like the way you talking
really cute game! the music is very nice, and i liked the dialogue from the souls too.
the controls are kind of confusing at first, because it's hard to tell when you're "struggling" against the soul, or taking hitstun - it feels like in those cases, your buttons just aren't working, because there's not a special animation for it
also i was confused at first and thought i was supposed to go out into the lava lake lol
had a good time with this!
Love the concept, love the mechanics, loved exploring the underworld and finding new obstacles on my way to drop off the souls. At first I thought the soul was super annoying, and I had to stop and focus on dodging every once in a while, but as I got used to the warning sound, I was able to dodge it more and more easily and it ended up being hardly an impediment at all. Gameplay depth!
The art and dialogue is really cute and fits the theming well. The "fly back to the start" effect is so speedy and satisfying. I'm so glad it wasn't just a teleport even though that would've been much easier. Great game, probably my favorite thing I've played so far!
Thank you very much for the kind words :)
art looks really crisp
Really unique take on the theme, & mechanics. Some other comments:
That's totally a fair opinion, I appreciate it :)
Wow, this is a really polished game! The art and music are really impressive, especially given the time constraints. I would really recommend making a WebGL build next time though, as much less people will play your game because of it. Overall, I really liked this!
Hey thanks!
Whether by our heavy post process stack or dozens of particles, we couldn't get the WebGL build to run reliably. The hit to total plays is something we're willing to take on the chin, but we're super glad you enjoyed it!
This game is super charming. I love the little comments the souls make, and the art style is really cute. I also found getting dragged back to the start after delivering a soul really satisfying. Incredible job!
Thank you so much! Those are also my favourite parts!
Cute and fun! It took a bit to figure out how to deal with each type of spirit and I discovered that blue's the worst, especially when they're telling me my orangeness doesn't look good.
I only got 11 but I think I'll try again 👍
Thanks and don't be discouraged, orange suits you just fine ;)
Awesome Graphics and good sound effects. The concept is good. One downside if I may is that the game is not really challenging, but it is up to anyone opinion. Nice game overall
Thanks for the comment :)
The challenge is in getting a high score! Try to reach 17 souls for a real challenge (the developer score)
