The goal is for the player and all characters other than the Reaper to die.\nGame operations are RIGHT, LEFT, UP, DOWN only.\nThe order of strength is as follows.\n grass < zebra < lion < man, woman < reaper\nA character with a higher strength cannot be defeated.\nHowever, you can induce the Shinigami to defeat them.\nIf you aim to clear the game with grass, wisdom, operation skills and luck will be required.

I finally won being grass, but required a lot of luck at spawn.\nThe idea of getting faster or stronger is fun, and find ways to make other killing each other is really interesting, but random spawn make us die almost immediatly many times. Less random or at least a few time to know where we start should be a must have. and the map/AI doesn’t help that much, many times I had no escape or a character was stuck and couldn’t move unless killing me.\nGraphics are ok but colors should be improved for text

\nGraphics came out really small in a little box at the top of the browser.
\nIt would be good to be able to select the character using the keyboard, and not need to go to the mouse to select. Why would I want to select the grass?
\nNot sure where / how the Shinigami comes into it?
\nIt would be good to have health which decreased rather than instant death, a few times I spawned very close to another entity and died instantly when they moved towards me before I had a chance to move.

\nA few things that could be improved:
\nGood luck on your next game!

\nControls felt a little floaty since it only took input at certain locations. Graphics were a little small, could benefit from some screen scaling.
\nI really liked this approach to the Death theme.

Such a simple implementation transformed the game and made it re-playable. I was not sure what Shinigami was however. It would be great if this was explained more in the game play, as well as the strength order. Perhaps it could have been shown visually on the game start?

It’s incredibly hard to attract the reaper while avoiding being killed.\nAs a plant, I often died in less than a second because the player positioning is random. Perhaps a bit more though into the character initial positions would make the game more balanced.\nIt’s an interesting concept and I like that the character selections also represents the different difficulty levels of the game. Maybe that should be made obvious (labels with extreme < hard < medium < easy).\nWhy is the game so small? You could use the screen estate better.\nI like the sprites, they are cute.

The real challenge is to play as the grass! It is not unlikely that you will spawn right next to something that will eat you and then it is immediately game over before you have a chance to escape. Perhaps if everyone started invulnerable for a few seconds to have a chance to start playing?
