Took a second to understand how to play, but afterwards was really easy to understand and very enjoyable.

Love the concept and enjoyed playing. Perhaps it would be nice if we get a time penalty when we collect wrong souls.

OMG, our game ideas were very similar, the man in the city has to do something to delay his inevitable death, but your game is more polished

I must say I am glad to say my internship did not involve assassinating people on the streets.
The main menu is hilarious.

I can confirm that this is exactly how my internship went.

Surprisingly realaxing one considering it's a game about literally reaping souls :D I feel like it's a bit too random though. But I'm not sure how to fix that without adding some level of stress :D

loved the game, it felt really finished. The cause of deaths notices made laugh a lot :D, great job!

I would like to see a more densely populated area, maybe powerups and someother way to extend your life. But This is just if you're considering making this into a full game :D

The causes of death were hilarious!
Fun game, even though the gameplay would benefit from more variety.

Nice aesthetic. Took a while before I figured out what to do. The random spinning direction arrow didn't help.
The RNG is a bit brutal, the targets often tended to spawn too far away to be possible to get to in time.
Some reaction by the people to your wanton murder would have been nice.

The game is hilarious -- should definitely be tops in the humor section! The gameplay feels really smooth as well, and the background music also hits the right mood. The only thing I would say is that it felt a bit monotonous after a while, so adding some more variety to the geography / weapons would definitely make it better. Great job!

I like the death messages; it was a nice touch.

Overall the game play was quite smooth for a game jam, so great job on that!

Really like the reasons people died. Made me chuckle a couple of times, nice touch. Really good game overall.

Pretty straightforward game idea but it's impressive you were able to build the scene with so many people in the amount of time! I thought it was funny that you were like a stand-in for the grim reaper and just look like some normal dude.

good entry thanks for sharing. i feel like running from end to end was a bit tedious and you can add another mechanic to fill the inbetween of targets! your jokes were good but they also need a little longer screen time. all in all pretty polished game had fun playing
