Very good looking! I felt bad sending the "evil" ones to hell so I sent all the good ones there instead and gave the devil dudes a break in heaven, it did cause me to game over myself though.. Fun!

Has a good balance between challenging while still remaining fair, a great use of the theme and the pixel art is very well made, overall pretty well made

Nice idea, excellent pixel art too. gets difficult in a way that in lots of cases it isn't even possible to save everyone, but the game isn't overly hard. Nice work.

Impressive art, the game is easy but a bit random. It only need a music on top to be fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Nice idea but on later levels it got quite difficult to juggle all the people coming through. Has fun.

Great game! One of my favorites so far. I'd love to see a full version of this where the puzzles evolve and you have to make more challenging evaluations of whether folks should go to heaven or hell. :-)

God really needs to figure out a better sorting system! But I digress, this was a hilarious game. Amazing art, good amount of challenge, and fun gameplay.

I don't know how many good souls I dropped into hell and I still won. If I was a good person all my life and this happened to me, I'd be pretty pissed. My Peter should not have been rewarded for such a poor performance XD

Gameplay's fairly basic but easy enough to understand. Spritework & visuals are gorgeous :D

Very fun to play, perfectly matched for this theme. One thing, I'd make controls less accelerated. I'd play this on my tablet / phone. Congrats for the great entry!

After first level I was thinking "piece of cake" and them everything was going to hell. Except the bad guy, they were going to heaven :) Anyway, good idea and awesome graphics!

Awesome game you got here! Lovely art and interesting concept! Tho I feel like the mechanics are a bit limiting when there are more than one gap, I want that perfect score! ;)

The website seems to be down. I can't download or play the game. It's a shame, it looks pretty cool in the screenshots.

Sorry for the connection problems it's seemes to be fixed now.
Thanks a lot for all your comments. I'll propose a post compo version with music and more polish graphics.

The graphics and theming are really strong, and I like the simplicity. I think the difficulty balance in the character spawning could use work. By level three it was routinely spawning good guys right in a row at such a distance that I literally couldn't support both of them. And devils would overlap with good guys so that supporting one meant supporting the other. Later on it felt like I was just working to mitigate mistakes and push the game towards an average positive gain, which was a slow and sometimes unrewarding process! I think it could benefit from a crowd-control ability, like being able to push good guys back in order to better sync up with a group behind them.
I still really like the game, though.

Great concept, and the theme and retro feel are wonderful. It's a simple mechanic, but it's really tricky to master.

Awesome game! Also, one of the devil got stuck inside the terrain...does that mean that I just created the Limbo?

The graphics and animations are top notch, good job! *_*
The gameplay is nice, but a little more balancing would be cool: slower soul movements and a way to stop one for a few seconds (like: press SPACE to cast St Peter Battlecry which freezes souls around him for 2 seconds). It would allow a little more strategy :)
Minor bug: I was able get people stuck in the ground (by pushing them with the cloud).

Really great concept for a game, executed well with simple gameplay but a well balanced difficulty. And the art is really well done!

The presentation was absolutely superb here. The little animations were charming, I particularly liked the devil's triumphant mugging as it ascends to heaven. Only problem was I was so busy focussing on St P I couldn't appreciate them as much as I'd have liked. The upshot of that also was that I was relying on audio queues for how well I was doing - the fact you managed to get audio in at all with so much art to create is commendable but a couple of different sounds to distinguish 'success' and 'failure' would have helped... Great stuff
