God All Smitey by SundanceKid
God All Smitey is a game in which you play as God and use your peoples' lives as currency. You can visit Earth to take lives in order to buy new Scepters. God's biggest desire, however, is the legendary cookie sold at the cafe in the clouds. Buy that cookie and you win.
Destroying buildings takes more lives!

Maybe a little hard but it's ok, it only needs some balancing.
Awesome graphics for a compo entry
Overall: fun and well crafted.
Please, work in a post compo version and put it online!
Great game, smiting those mortals was a lot of fun, them killing me - not so much. The whole arsenal of scepters was great - every single one feeling unique and fun in its own special way.
Overall, I give it a 25/17
Loved that you can upgrade. Nice work. :D
What did you use to make the music?
I find it a little too difficult
Pro strats: float as high and to the right as you can, only coming down when your charge is ready. Be sure to get ~600-700 every round. You'll have a dozen restarts at the beginning, but once you get the first scepter, it's a lot easier.
I enjoyed the art and music. Nice game!
My final score says it best: 
Like others, I thought the game was a little too hard (even with your helpful tips), which is a shame, because I was having fun learning the game and _did_ feel myself improving. Sometimes, though, I had trouble getting enemies even within the frame of the camera without taking damage, so even mopping up the last few enemies could feel a little random. Nonetheless, really well done! The painting of the cookie at the beginning, I have to say, was my favorite touch.
yes cookie
that made me laugh pretty hard once I got it. I think the more expensive sceptres could have been better. The power was there, but the lower attack speed almost made them not worth it.
Awesome concept. I found that it's easier to farm money by blowing up buildings (love how they fall over, you feel a little bit like a Godzilla (bad pun intended))
LOL
