Hey, you, the one with the burnt tail! Come here, now! So here's the deal: we got an order from the hot to create the rocket fuel based on sinful souls. We managed to pick up the components, but could not get a stable formula so far. All we need to do now is to mix components in the correct sequence. And I entrust this very-important-mission to you, sooty. Just wait until I move away, otherwise i cant... uh... see how good rocket flies.

Worked on the project:

The project uses only original graphics and sound.


Эй ты, с обгорелым хвостом! А ну, иди сюда! Значит так, с самого пекла к нам пришла разнарядка на разработку ракетного топлива на основе грешных душ. Нам удалось подобрать компоненты, но пока не удалось получить стабильную формулу. Дело осталось за малым - смешать все в правильной последовательности. И эту важную миссию я поручаю тебе, уголёк. Только подожди пока я отойду подальше, а то тут не...э-э-э-э… очень хорошо видно как летит ракета...

very clear and interesting game, cool graphics. Interesting solution to the theme. Souls settled as sins, it's funny

I think it would be very nice to suggest some clues for the proper order maybe hiding them somewhere, but it was a really nice short experience. Superb graphics and sounds! Great work!

The art ist amazing. Loved the intro sequence and the nicly pictured tutorial. Took me a quite some tries to get to the end but it was worth it :D

First of all, I love the music and SFX! Very well done! I really like the graphics, feels very polished and well put together. I don't really understand the core mechanic, I always hit the lowest possible height, by guessing I accidentally found the solution. Not sure how that works. Loved the mood tho with the scientist, cool story!

Extremely good graphics. Sadly it is lacking in the gameplay aspect since it is just a brute force system. With some more work though this could be a really really nice game.
Quite Good

A clear, straightforward game with amazing art and great sound design. Would love to see a more gamified system down the line instead of just having to guess at random because that would really rocket the game to the next level!

I enjoyed it, I love the graphics and sounds. At first I thought that I needed some clues to unsolve the puzzle, but then I started to enjoy the "experimentation" part. Really nice game and funny ending!

Either way i didn't get the concept or it is pure die and retry without any clue to adapt for the next try (other than remeber all the previous formula) but in other hand, graphic and soond are very polish and i like this aspect of the game (<3 on the title screen).

The game art and music are nice! I just didnt understood what you are supposed to do in the game.

Too bad it's brute force only, good polish tho.

Super polished feel, the designs of the deadly sins look great and recognizable! I was very confused about the gameplay until I understood that the order of the souls mattered, but after that it made sense :D The background music is also very fitting.

The art is some of the best art I've seen so far, well done! But I didn't understand how to get "better" with each iteration. It would be nice to see the orientation that you had done in your last launch attempt.

Maybee I was just lucky but i got the right combination on my first try and won hahaha, Really likes the graphics, props, as for the gameplay, it's working well, but once i won, I didn't feel like i should continue playing because i just had solve everything in like 10 sec? which felt a little bite sad considering the amout of effort that was put in the game on the design side. If the gameplay wasn't lacking and you had have develop more gameplay mechanic, your game would have been next level. Your mood is also really nice. As an audio designer and music composer I will specifically talk about this topic for the rest of my comment. If we talk only about the SFX, the one you have are nice, i wouldn't change them, but i would add some, for example when you pick a ghost thing, theres no sound at all, it coul have been an oppoortunity to hear a scream of a tortured soul or something. Music wise, The Theme from the menu is WOW it really propels me in the world it demonstrate your understanding of music. But then comes the super agressive theme of the game loop. Oh god my ears This midi audio is hurting a lot XD. I understand that you wanted to shift the mood to something more comic, but it's so different from the menu theme. I think it lacks a little bite of cohesion between your two tracks. The second also fells a little bite more rushed out, maybee because you spent to much time on the menu one? i dont know, but it was kind of a drop in quality compared to the first one. I dont know what software you are using for music, but if you are wrtting a score like i suspect you are doing, I would recommand finale or sibelius, than for your sounds, you should buy noteperformer. It's really cheap and it really delivers good result quickly without even haviing to mix. So that's it, thanks for your entry guys :)

The art style and the audio help set a comical mood. I did take a bit to solve with trial and error. Once I realised how the order effects how high the rocket goes (get the first one it goes a little higher etc.) it didn't take long to solve. If it had a random solution each time it would allow for more replay-ability.

Beautiful art! Gameplay definitely leaves some to be desired. Also seems the audio toggles don't work (on web at least)

The fact that you guys managed to do the art in a few days is just amazing, 5 out of 5 on graphics, I'm a bit confused on the gameplay but it's a pretty solid entry for 3 days!

A charming game, but the mechanics started feeling a bit tedious after a while.

The visuals are insanely good, and all the animations are super nice. Unfortunately, the gameplay wasn't as engaging as I'd like it to be. I wish there was some kind of challenge other than trial and error. Thank you for submitting this, it was certainly a neat experience.

Cool art, great atmosphere. It would be good to add replayability so that at the start of the game, spirits are randomly generated into a sequence)

I really liked the music and the art, I think they paired well together. Maybe some hints about the correct formula when they are correct, but make it subtle somehow. GG

Graphics are so amazing but too simply gameplay. You could do several levels with clues on what to do, on which components we have to mix for more fun to play :)

A lot of effort was put into the look if the game, but the gameplay itself is unfortunately completely dull.

Despite the simple gameplay It's really funny to play! I enjoyed this game! Good luck!

Love the art and style of this game! I wish it wasn't so trial and error - clues about the order would be nice. It seemed like it wasn't just about which souls you put in, but also in what order? Which creates a LOT of different possibilities and a lot of time spent for the player to randomly come up with the right sequence. My two cents about good game design in general, weigh the chance of success in favor of the player. ALl that said, you have a great thing going here with the atmosphere and concept. Some tweaking to the gameplay and this would make a great mobile game!

The art is great yet I don't feel like brute forcing the solution is a fun thing to do. The very idea is interesting though

really nice work on the art front, and the music isn't bad either. I wish there had been more to the gameplay, it's sort of Mastermind but just brute force.

Great graphics and sound! Unfortunately besides the visual and audio there's not much of a game here, it's just dragging symbols until you get lucky.

Would be cool to see some more feedback whenever you make a decision in the game. Right now the only thing changing from attempt to attempt is the height, and it makes it pretty trivial to solve the level. Something more challenging like a [Bulls and Cows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulls_and_Cows) mechanic would already be more rewarding.

But art, character design, music, overall polish — all these categories are absolutely nailed. I love how the souls represent the Sins. Beautiful entry!

The artwork in this game is phenomenal, but the game itself was very hard to figure out. Some kind of hint to indicate what order you should be putting in or *something* other than just process of elimination would have helped a lot.

Yep, very cool art! It's funny how the sequence ends up being a pretty recognizable symbol.

Heh, this was a really fun little game! The art was fantastic, and I loved the screaming at the end. The audio was also really good. The only problem I had was that this game felt too random. There didn't seem to be a reason behind my choosing of people. Other than that, this was a really well polished game.

Amazing sound and graphics. Unfortunately, the gameplay is not very engaging as I had only to try a few random combination until it worked.
