Hell Court by chuckeles

[raw]
made by chuckeles for LD33 (JAM)
Welcome to Hell Court!
======================

You play as a devil and hurt humans that fall into the hell. Each level has its own goals, but the gist of it is that you ask the human about their sins and then deal appropriate amount of mental and physical damage. After that, you return the human to your evil masters. Use your minions and contraptions to scare and hurt poor humans just enough so that they wish they've never done anything bad!

Notes
=====

**IMPORTANT: Return humans by dropping them near the statue.** (I forgot to add a tutorial for that.)
When you use the embedded version, please use fullscreen.

After you play the game, please answer these 2 questions if you have some spare time:

Thank you very much!

Score
=====

The game has a scoring system (press Tab). Feel free to printscreen your highscore tables, I'm curious :).

Loved the graphics! I want to definitely incorporate that look and feel in future games. Thought the concept was cool and the dialogue was a cool touch!

Graphics but simplistic but I like the concept, being a keeper of hell and all.

Extraordinary concept. I love the : "What have you done !" part. Not sure the platform part was needed though. It would make an incredible simulation game (punish pyromans with fire, murderer with spikes, bullies with terror skeletons, ...). Really great entry !

Great game! Loved to punish humans for their sins! But the real monsters are the humans, not (we) the devil punishing them!

Nice dialogue, sleek minimalistic graphics. Unfortunately, I felt this fell short in the gameplay aspect, as it became repettitive to sit there and wait for pain levels to be adequate. Nice concept, too!

This is a great entry. The sound and the graphics are simple but worked very well together. I loved to play as a little human-punishing devil, but I overdone some of them... XD

I found working at Hell is kinda tedious. Hats off to our hard-working demons.

The idea was very creative and the execution was quite good. I feel like a more fun way of actually punishing people would have been better. That said, I didn't make it far but what I did play was very creative and well made. Overall, good entry!

The camera can be a bit weird at times but it did not impact the gameplay, overall great job!

Thanks everyone for playing and feedback!

Based on the feedback and statistics I updated the game a little. I will continue to work on the game, hopefully making it into a full one ;).

Interesting idea. I would have like a more active way of punishing the sinners, but I can see this type of game play getting really hectic with the passive elements the player has to manage. Funny dialog!
