Nice game. Hard to keep up with the soul!

Simple concept that still keeps you addicted. The sfx were a bit annoying, though.

I liked this concept a lot. I found it hard to stay near the soul and effectively attack the enemies, so it kept making me consider the tradeoff of doing one over the other. I think refining the movement of the soul so it feels less random would make this feel a lot more manageable without it losing any of the necessary difficulty. Graphics were good, the color swap for friend/enemy was simple but effective and the UI did a good job of being unobtrusive but still making it easy to gauge my current status. Good work!

A simple but fun little game. I feel like it would be better if there was some mechanic for restoring your own health pool. At the moment, once your health gets bellow a certain level all you can do is dodge the enemies and wait for your souls health to run out.

Great game! Simple yet very effective. It was a little difficult to follow the soul around, perhaps the mouse could be used for movement instead of WASD? The controls are displayed too quickly as well - I had to restart the game because I didn't catch the first set of instructions the first time. All said well done!

Very simple approach, yet effective! the game was fun. It may be a bit weak on the theme and require some tweaking. Great work!

Fun little game! I wish that there was some different sound effects or maybe some kind of powerup that makes you invincible for some amount of time. It was kinda hard to follow your soul around to regain health but that made it interesting too. Good job!

Concept is so dope. Art style and audio are also really nice to look and listen. I think there should be some heal-packs or something like that because without them the score would be similar to the previous one (also from math aspect). Although, In overall really cool entry!

@coatline @borys yeah for sure, having some sort of healing or immunity powerup would definitely have solved a few issues, oh well!
