Quite a unique concept, and pretty fun too! Nice! 

I think adding a cancel button would be good, kept clicking the wrong person as they move around a lot. Also got to a state where i only had the people i needed to save left but didnt have enough life values left to survive the day, so not sure how that happened.

Pretty cool concept. Even Death has a crappy 9-5...

The voice acting is so funny lol. The game is fun but I did notice that I kind of gravitated towards the same strategy of immediately transferring the life to the right people as quickly as possible. Maybe you could break this up by adding some random events that shake up your strategy?

Disclaimer - I worked with the artist and musician in a previous jam, and I'm amazed how much progress was made! 

The music fits the mood perfectly ,and he skeleton and eleveators animations were sick!

I think the controls are a bit hard to use - I kept wanting to cancel my selection with the right mouse but couldn't. I'm not sure movement is really needed here - I would much prefer to cancel when I accedintally select someone with the requirement, as there's a lot on the screen.

Also, when only people with the requirements remain and balanced, I think the day should sped up

Really cool and unique idea, and loved the variety in the levels!

Really interesting idea, and very cool flavour!

Very creative idea, though it seems like you want to kill all the people who don't match your mission as soon as possibly so you transfer more life, which means it gets harder as the level goes on

I love that it's all presented as death's desk job :)
