Thank you for playing my 3 year old game hahaha.
This game was made in only 12 hours for a game jam ,so its just a simple infinite top down shooter, it doesn't have an ending.
Yeah I don't even know if it's possible to win without some of Deaths power-ups (at least I also couldn't haha), I was gonna make it easier but I was worried that no one would go on a date with death if I did.
If you complete the dating route, when you start a new game you can use the RMB and just instantly kill everything if you want to see the other paths.
Thank you for playing!! <3
Reading your comment had me with the biggest grin on my face. You're exactly right, that was what I tried to do!!
I wanted to make a game that was more that meets the eye.
That reaction of "another top down shooter" was completely intentional, because Jonas Tyroller himself dissed those games so I wanted to try and make something creative with it by merging a completely different genre (a comedic dating sim) with it hahaha.
I'm really glad you liked the game and thank you very much for playing!!! <3
Thank very much you for playing!! <3
The are a few power of the gods, but most of them are automatic (like the kill on collision, extra health and aura) so I'm guessing you're talking about the "Power of Death" that he gives you, which is actually the last (and most ridiculous) one before the ending of the game.
If you press the right mouse button, everything will die and you will skip the wave, this makes it stupidly easy to just get the normal ending of the game by spamming the right mouse button. However if you want the ending with Death, you just gotta "off yourself" once again and completely ignore that power haha.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, I had a lot of fun making it, thank you once again!! <3
Thank you very much for playing!! <3
The goal for the "dating sim" part of the game is to off yourself and try to progress the relationship with Death, whenever you make progress a new dialogue tree will appear, as well as showing a small text under "Wave 1". But I understand that I might not have been very clear on that in game (the problems of making a game in 72 hours haha). Thank you for your feedback! <3

You are the last member of the human army, if you fall humanity shall perish. The demon army is getting closer. You are the last line of defence.
Or at least that's the general idea, in reality maybe if you "off yourself" you might be able to spend some time with Death himself, however he might not be to trilled with the idea. Eternity is a long time after all.
This game was made for Wowie Jam 3.0 where the theme was "Failure is progress" and "Let's mess with the concepts of winning and losing". So in this game you can either beat the game, or you can just... you know... end it all and just chill with Death. However Death doesn't seem to appreciate your company, so he will make it increasingly more difficult for you to off yourself.
Anyways, here's some screenshots.
Give it a try and tell me what you think <3 https://rickropes.itch.io/a-date-with-death
