The game felt sort of luck-based to me; I was mostly just wandering around and hoping I'd randomly come across a soul, so it didn't really feel like my fault when I died. Overall, though, this game has a charm to it---nice work!
I was hooked in immediately with the "introduction" soul (the person who want to see the car and then Betty and the corn), I guess it's placed there by intend? Really good kickoff.
Going on I really like that the souls all have their own story and feel "alive", I'd instinctively imagine the person I'm delivering, like the introduction soul was a farmer guy who loved his work, probably is very young at his death. Or the old man who want to see places with memory of his wife, probably he was in a wheelchair for awhile so he couldn't visit those places for awhile...
This lead to my no.1 dissatisfaction that the game's on a timer so I feel rushed and can't get to know the souls better. Doesn't matter that much being a single player game though, but definitely would enjoy a slower approach like a narrative or puzzle game setup.
As a side note, this Jam's theme lead to a lot of Death-themed game, but I really appreciate that this one's lightweight and even humorous.
Maybe if the timer wasn't failure but bonus if you make it, it'd be more fair.
I enjoyed the overall aesthetic. It was a bit retro, and the saturated, bright colors made a fun juxtoposition with the concept of the grim reaper. Giving bonus points for the hilarious corn bit :)
