Jack the Reaper, from indie developer Dream's Bell, is a SNES-inspired platformer for Windows PC with an anime art style where you vanquish enemies and harvest their souls for health and power. The actual harvesting is reminiscent of Kirby (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/kirby)'s gobble-and-clone mechanic.
In Jack the Reaper, the moon has suddenly fallen and crashed into the Earth, discarding its souls all over the planet. Jack, as a reaper, answers a call from God and goes about harvesting all of the errant souls. Simple.
Jack the Reaper is a work in progress, with creator Rakugaki-Otoko having recently shared a demo (http://www.mediafire.com/?7l5zvdbdtl1a27f) (.zip link) with the public. He's also been sharing his incremental improvements and changes over on TIGForums (http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=17480.510), if you want a more granular look at the development process.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Jack the Reaper harvests all the souls, looks adorable while doing it (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/09/jack-the-reaper-harvests-all-the-souls-looks-adorable-while-doi/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Thu, 09 May 2013 03:00:00 EST.
