I liked the story — it was fun and made for a really nice overall experience!

Good humor, non-annoying gameplay, and a cool visual. The work is excellent. Please rate our project
Good use of the theme, and I liked the twist with the mechanic of having to run into foes. The new enemies at each level kept things fresh each time, and the timer was tight enough to warrant attention but not be unforgiving. I also loved the ending. While predictable, it was definitely fitting haha. Nice work!
Great concept that you have to die instead of survive. Also the Devil is such a baddie, i'm sorry, bu she's literally so hot <3
Very unique concept and I love the narrative framing you've got! My one recommendation is to shrink the levels down a bit. Sometimes I spent a bit too long running round trying to find something to kill me. Apart from that, really cool concept!
The art looks absolutely gorgeous. I enjoyed playing as bridezilla with even the hellspawns running away from me. Obviously, sound and music would have elevated this entry even more, but even as it is, it's a solid one.
Just one piece of advice: when you have lots of text, put it through a grammar checker. There were a few typos.
Overall a very fun entry!
Wow! Genuinely funny! Good gameplay, cool story, nice visuals. A recipe for a good time. It's relatively short and definitely worth a playthrough! Great job to everyone involved!
I got pretty close, but couldn't beat the final level even with a few attempts ^^;
Pretty cool concept tho :)
Game Title: Until Death Brings Us Together
Enjoyment (3/5):
The core gameplay is frenetic, engaging and high-pressure due to the timer. However, the levels are so large that you end up running blind at times in search of enemies, which feels more like hide 'n seek when it should be tag. So that was a point of frustration. I think the game would have benefited from smaller maps, or on-screen indicators to point toward off-screen enemies. I would have personally also liked to see powerups or abilities unlocked for the player, although the variety in enemy types was admirable and managed to keep things fresh for the duration of the game.
Creativity (5/5):
The idea of running into Enemies and Hazards on purpose while they try to avoid you is very clever! I think that idea has a lot of potential. And the setup of a bride saving her groom provided an interesting backdrop and inversion of typical tropes.
Theme (5/5):
The story was surprisingly cohesive, and boy - what an ending! Perfect implementation of Death as an Opportunity and the payoff was well-executed. It seems based on dialogue that the final confrontation was intended to be different, but the current ending actually fits quite well as a conclusion to the story. Nice work!
Visuals (4/5):
The hand-drawn visuals are very well done. and I appreciated all of the enemy designs and animations. I particularly liked the fierce, motivated look of the female protagonist during gameplay. Environments could have used more variety, but for a jam game it wasn't bad. Overall, pleasing to look at and clearly presented. The dialogue contains typos which distract from the content. I recommend having someone proofread for mistakes.
Overall Score (3/5):
I enjoyed the experience by the end, but have to admit I almost gave up halfway due to moments of frustration. I think the gameplay could use some fine-tuning to emphasize the parts that are fun while minimizing the elements that aren't. Either way, I had a good time with this one and would recommend it to people seeking something humorous with a decent amount of challenge.
Good luck in the Jam!

I love the grit of the bride and the complete inversion of what enemies and traps are meant to represent. Great experience!
