About Death to the Universe: ACT I
'Death to the Universe: ACT I' is a story-driven, 3rd person action platformer which takes place at the end of time. Play as Death, voiced by Kevin Miller (Sly Cooper), in a surreal, shattered world where the concept of death has begun to lose meaning. Despite The Universe falling apart, he clings on to the duty of his job.The Universe itself, voiced by Cassianne Lawrence, is a playful and antagonistic character who mocks and challenges Death at every turn. Represented through the map itself and sometimes as a pair of floating rock hands, The Universe tries to maintain control of an assured, continued existence.
Follow Deaths existential journey towards the final souls, as he reveals underlying truths about the underlying fabric of The Universe and learns that his job might be more complex than he anticipated.

Interesting game idea although will need a little bit of polish. The lack of map rendering does lower the game's frame rate a little causing a bit of problems and the animations for Death could be more expressive. The story is good tho and I am very interested in how it will play out.1 found this helpful
I like how it looks, i like the witty dialogue, but the gameplay feels stiff. I would have liked some fluid animation, or maybe double down and make it at a lower framerate, and some better momentum. The void world and it's reds looks pretty cool, and the menu is quite fun, albeit a bit confusing at first1 found this helpful
I'm really intrigue what Fueled By Cookies is cooking up. It sorta reminds me of PS2 era of 3D platformers. The story and characters are very tongue-in-cheek which I enjoy. We have Death as the protagonist of this game and he's no average run to the mill badass type of character. He's just a dude who has a job and very committed to it. It has interesting puzzle mechanics where you use telekinesis to turn floating platforms and what not. So far, I haven't seen a whole lot of variety in the environment, enemy and combat department but i have faith in this dev. team. Give us a lot of cool characters, weapons, environments, powers, fun puzzles and fun platforming. Maybe something unique which the whole dying aspect of the game since our character is Death and dying is pretty much his business. Like, have Death kill people to separate their spirit from their body to solve certain puzzles or to become an ally. Overall, I had a solid time with Act I. Death to the Universe is shaping to be a banger of a game. Can't wait for more.
Takes probably 20 minutes to beat, its an interesting idea.
Well made short game, with a great art style!
