Servant to the Reaper by MediocreMonty

made by MediocreMonty for LD 44 (JAM)

The Reaper came to take Dave's family to the underworld, but Dave realllllyyyy didn't want the Reaper to take them, so they made a deal. If Dave went out and took the lives of 60 other people within 8 minutes, then Dave's family wouldn't have to die. The Reaper gave Dave his scythe and a bunch of food to throw at the police if they get wise to what Dave's doing.

The Reaper then dropped Dave off near a shady shop where Dave can purchase upgrades and disguises to help him finish his quest.

The catch?

The shop keeper will only take Souls as currency.

Play as Dave on his quest to save his family!...by murdering a bunch of other people...

Great game with a cool idea and fun to play ! I didn't really get the purpose of the food expect **pushing all police officer into oblivion**, rendering the game a bit too easy and the necessity to buy disguise a bit pointless to win the game (except unicorns (so broken)).

Great concept! You made good use of the theme. I like the art (cool style/nice colors) and the disguise descriptions are funny. Also the music fits well for an amped up killing spree. I had fun with this one - great job!

@nomus Yeah, the point of the food was to help get police officers off of you but I guess it's a bit op. And yeah...I didn't really have a lot of time to balance the game. :/ Thanks for the feedback

aesthetically beautiful, good music, solid execution of the theme, even if I felt it's pretty damn dark. Haha.

Yeah, besides balancing, (which is always insanely difficult, especially during a game jam) it's an awesome game. The graphics are beautiful, the audio is amazing and game itself is pretty entertaining.
