Devil's Death Collector by gamesplusjames

[raw]
made by gamesplusjames for LD 44 (JAM)

Cover<em>Image</em>LD.png

In an unfortunate series of events, you accidentally sold your soul to THE NEON DEVIL for a ham sandwich. Don't ask.

Now in return for the chance to earn your freedom, THE NEON DEVIL has asked you to collect other souls for him. Screens<em>LD</em>1.png

He'll give you a rough description of the person you need to find and then it's up to you to find the correct person. Reach 5000 soul currency to earn your freedom. Screens<em>LD</em>2.png

But watch out! THE NEON DEVIL is very impatient so your soul currency will go down over time. THE NEON DEVIL is also very irritable so sending him the wrong targets will cost you 100 soul currency! Screens<em>LD</em>3.png

Good luck! And maybe don't sell your soul for a sandwich next time!

Tedious gameplay, and sometime multiples peoples fit the requirements but aren't the target

Great entry James. The models look great and are smoothly animated. I love the aesthetics and overall feel of the game. I did have some trouble with controls. The free mouse look took a while to get used to. I think this game would have been fine having the camera locked behind the player, or maybe just move on the horizontal axis. It's a very hard game. It took me quite a while to find the first person and I wasn't able to find the second. I think the reason why it's so difficult is because the people are constantly moving, making it impossible to scan by area. It might just be me and my incompetency though. :)

Soundtrack's awesome, love the 80s aesthetic. Think there's a bug in the gameplay though, one time my selection definitely fitted the description and the game told me it was the wrong one.

I can't imagine how much more difficult this would be with textures and worldobjects all around the npcs. Its already plenty hard enough to look through the constantly moving crowd. It does get tedious after a while but I think that could be easily solved. Good jam game overall just very difficult.

Very creative idea for a game. Had a very 80's retro look and feel to it. Controls were good although I would have liked the camera to have been a little higher. All in all I thought it was a fun little game. Congrats James on finishing the Jam!

This was definitely an interesting one! The mood and premise was really good, and it was fun to look at all the characters and their silly hairs and hats and beards! Found it a bit hard to find the people based on how many people there were overall! I loved the visual when you found the right person.. as well as the cute Irish voice acting muahahah!

This game gave me some straight up retro 80s Kung Fury feels without all the Kung or the Fury! Maybe having other ways to identify who you need to find though through their actions, or the actions of others. But, a nice people finding puzzler.

I really like the UI and concept, but i hate that 3d camera controller, i'm more used to change view using only my mouse not with the movement keys. But overall an impressive game!

Yeah the camera shouldn't follow the character upon walking when you want to look around with the mouse (invert cam Y is a must for me). Mmm dat music tho. Nice style and fitting soundtrack. Just a little hard to hear the devil's voice.

I think it would have been better to always show the arrow indicator until you get close to the target (right-click instead reduce the arrow-hide distance). Also more fun to be had if you fired some sort of "sacrifice bullet" so that some aim skills would get involved. Could get more soul bits earned if the target was shot from a distance.

Great mood and style! Like many complaints before me, camera control was weird and it was very hard to identify and select the target, specially when he is selected but because of the highlight I can't make sure of the colors, so I need to deselect and select again. Great work!

Well done, impressed you did the models for it, too-- in time that is. Synthwave is always a win for me. Got my high ratings. I have a LD44 game myself, would love for you to play it, I think you'll find it silly fun. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/bleedcoin-cryptcurrency :)
