:thinking: Hmmm
The game itself is very light and simple, but the shop entrance and the parking lot are well made. Simplistic, but I couldn't do it better either..
I love the sense of humor in this game. The intro video is perfect! The gameplay itself is very simple but I like the "cheat prevention system" :laughing:
**Bad**
-When the reaper zoom in, the white text on his white skull is barely visible
-We don't know what to press in the menu to start it ( in game ! )
-You don't have a progress bar to know how much you are doing, the reaper tells you to try again on a game over, but there is no high score and it seems there is no ending as well.
-The reaper wants you to move around, a few pixels will do, and you still can lose because of the amount of people, so why move around ? ( in a gameplay perspective, finding secret is fun but it also mean you waste your run, if you don't want that, you won't explore, and the reaper telling you not to stay in place is for the gameplay )
-Music loop is too simple and repetitive, and so is sound ( maybe put a random pitch for every customers ? )
**Meh**
~Some things are top down view while others are more like 60 degrees
~Even though its in his character, the reaper is a bit of a spammer isn't he ?
**Good**
+The colors are really clear and nice
+Once in the game you know what to do
+The scaling difficulty makes it challenging
+Going around in the map is actualy really fun
+The reaper character is built in game outside of the intro and that's hard to do with the amount of time you had
+There's a lot of art assets around the map so that is really cool to explore
+The noise they are making when they get block makes me laugh
+The level of absurdity of the game makes me gigle like an idiot
+I love the fx when a customer buy away your life
nice one

I had some issues with the UI anchoring, and the reaper's dialog during the gameplay was offscreen: https://imgur.com/a/UuRyFmt I played on a computer hooked up to a TV, so it has an odd resolution.
If you need a really simple core, I think the "goalie" thing is a nice way to go. I experimented with a few different approaches about where to stand, etc, and there was enough there to engage my brain while the flavor played out.
Nice work!
Good graphics, music and the game design overall..
Congratulations on your entry for this Ludum Dare o/
