Great game! Death handing off his duties to a mortal felt like something from Terry Pratchett book. It was pretty original to see people clinging to life using a giant vegetable :)
Art and sound were really good! So were the controls (got used to them by the end of tutorial).
Over all- I liked your game very much, and only have one gripe. It's really weird to use [j] key as enter in main menu. I thought something was broken in game. Tried to use enter, e, space, f, ctrl, shift. Nothing. Then pressed all the keys until I got [j]. After that the game was great, but it gives a weird first impression.
