Use of the limitation
It's based around the myth that dead people become stars (A childhood lie). In this game it's actually true, we lead dead people into the sky to become stars.

Cookies eaten
I just wanna say that I accept all cookies, in case anyone has some spare. (Idk I ate one or two packs)

Loved it! I like how you can send people to hell. And that the people in the apartments react to the shooting star! Very cute game.

Nice Concept of the game. <3 You can add instructions on how to play, took me a while to understand

Developer

There's a button in the Starting Menu it's literally titled "How to Play?

Why did you cluster all of them together 😭

Submitted

I was trying to score big in one go😭

Developer

The trick I use is if there's a big cluster just send others to hell and focus on raising that cluster

My dirty mind is making it for me so hard to think that those are ghosts :')

Half of the people who playtested said they looked like ...ehm..  milk

took me a while to understand, but wow, that's so interesting!

Very creative concept with nice execution. I like the pixel art, and the gameplay, albeit simple, is a very novel idea!

This is really neat! The lights flickering is a really cool mechanic!

Fun fact I was gonna go for cozy, but when I was looking for ambient sounds I stumbled upon the music and I was like "Damn this is so much better let's make this a horror game."

Both the story and the art style have such a romantic vibe.

I've heard that dead people become a star and I like the game you made.I like the choice to send those soul to hell.Personally, I think that if there's a kind of score that go up when send people to heaven and go down when send people to hell would be good! so that the player dont go only on the easier path(send them straight to hell).

There is a score, you might've missed it. Your highscore even shows on the title screen and if you don't delete your browser memory or use incognito then it also remembers your personal best. Mine is 52

(And sending to hell makes the game even more difficult as it attracts attention)

Edit: Okay sorry I'm blind I didn't see the word "kind." I'll definetely add this!
