Cerberus
This was originally an entry for Ludum Dare 53. The theme was Delivery.
Cerberus has been lax on his job of guarding the underworld recently, leading to a number of souls breaking out. Control the hound of hell on his mission to retrieve those souls and "deliver" them back to the underworld.
Each soul returned gives you xp to level up your bite strength and run stamina. The more souls you return at once, the higher the xp multiplier will be, so try returning as many as possible at a time. Be careful though: Getting hit makes you drop all your souls, forcing you to recollect them quickly before they can return to their bodies.

Good method for increasing difficulty -- player can make it harder on themselves to get a higher score. Needs an ending; even a persistent "this was your score this time" would do.
I made this during a 48 hour jam so I ran out of time for an ending. I hope to add a better ending in a post-jam version though!
Good game, atmospheric. Still would have added with the leveling pumping some abilities and it would have been awesome, but what you did is a great job in such a limited time!
