Very well made and good, found it pretty fun to play and the graphics were very good. Just found it weird that it just restarts when you say yes at the end of the game instead of giving an ending.

Well made game, good graphics, sounds and music, but the best part is the concept itself. Well done!

THIS IS SO CUTE! I love the ghost's design :blush: It took me a second to understand what I was doing, but I enjoyed it once I figured it out! Really awesome job :)

The graphics and the morbid humor stood out to me. It's a really cute game. Simple, yet the story itself is a real treat. Adding the fun music makes it (I agree with my predecessors) a cute game.

Very cute graphics and sounds. I wasn't very good the first time and didn't add many more years. I think I should not be allowed to control other peoples choices :) - Was a cool concept and fit the theme well.

Very well polished! I liked your take on the theme and how the playful visuals and sound serve as the backdrop to some pretty unfortunate events. Maybe some of the cards that are results of choices rather than questions could be a form of message instead of the yes/no format. Overall great job everyone!

Oh wow the ghost is adorable! All the characters are, really. The stories are a lot of fun, and the little noises here and there are seriously fantastic! Wonderful job.

Super super cute little game, super impressive amount of writing! It was all very nice! I really wanted some more choice in selecting my future lives. I think limiting the number you can have to 3 was good, but maybe give us more than 3 to choose from. I replayed a couple of times to see the others and try and get further down the paths but the choices are hard! Good job!

Well made, fun little game.

The text, telling you what to do, is a bit too fast. And there is a lot of reading involved.

Ahhh, the game is really cozy and fun, despite the fact that this is a game about "how can I kill this character?"))) Cute idea and art with animation, and I really like the sound that the little ghost makes when someone characters die. in the first game I was trying to help the characters live a long life, but after that I was interested in other options - what can happen to them? And it's great that you have drawn characters of different ages. Thanks for this great game :3

Excellent little game, I really laughed at some situation. Not a lot to add, it looks very polished and I do like a lot the art style. Gg!

Very fun concept, made me laugh :smile: (Damn, can't believe a slipped on a banana & died) I'd make the longer text in bubble (at the start, in elevator) a bit longer, some people may not read it all in 5 seconds. If you swipe to NO when selecting a character, you can't leave, idk if that was intentented though, probably :sweat_smile: Great & fun story game! :smile:
