It feels to polished and the graphics and effects are just so well made.

I think it was a bit difficult to plan things in advance, having to default to reaping random souls and hoping I hit the ones I need. But there was a lot of nice visual flair to it all that made playing the game an amazing experience\n\nI loved the soundtrack! For the music references, I only managed to catch the Queen bassline. I tried to listen out for Don't Fear The Reaper but I couldn't pull it out.

The music was fun - pretty much every melody\/progression is repurposed\/alluding to a different song about heaven\/hell\/reaping. Opening piano is playing the guitar part from Don't Fear The Reaper, with a chiptune synth playing the main guitar melody lines from the opening of Stairway to Heaven, both over the Another One Bites The Dust bassline. Second section is the chords for AC\/DC Highway to Hell, with the melody for Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton, and the second half melody is from Heaven by Talking Heads. The breakdown\/build starts with the death music from the original Legend of Zelda, and then builds up on the opening riff from Heaven On Their Minds from Jesus Christ Superstar, and then the second half of the second half, the melody from Dies Irae (which is kind of like a widely known allusion in music that's suggesting death\/someone dying in the plot).","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":916936,"author_name":"Multipixels","author_uid":"multipixels","epoch":1673555000,"text":"Really nice!!!

The tutorial is too reliant on text, but even with quickly scanning through it I understood what to do.\n\nI get what you were aiming for with graphics, but imho it's too obscure and mismatched.
