The way the souls ran away from the player was really entertaining, although it meant it was difficult to catch them. When they started turning into ghosts and chasing me, I thought, 'Great, thus is much better!' and then I realised the ghosts were attacking me?? It was still pretty fun, but then 5minutes became way too long to keep doing the same thing. It either needed to be harder or there needed to be something else to play for. It's a nice concept though and with some more features it could be verging on addictive!

its well made i would say. it feels natural to navigate the reaper around and to catch the souls.
would be interesting how the game would be if you would continue the work, make different types of souls or ghots and events.

Good idea, graphics and audio !
But it's a little bugged, and porly balanced.
The souls spawn by pack of 10, and when you try to rip them, they run to the other side of the map at the same speed as you.
How i am supposed to catch them all in less than a minute, before they are changed to ghost ?
Furthermore, a ghost go speeder than you, you can't outrun it to finish your job.
You can't restart a run after you loose, the player is locked, and the timer is fixed at the same time as the defeat.
With a little work on theses points, the game can be realy cool :)
