In what way does your game fit the theme?
Ghosts stay together to carry heavy boxes.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Arts and codes are done by us. We’ve used some sound assets.

did you order pizza?) <3 and she has already arrived <3
Thanks for playing! Sorry, I don't get it lol
you have a nice concept! I think you could make it into like a 2.5d kinda game it would be cool! good job!
Thank you! I'm not sure if 2.5d fits this kind of mechanics lol but it's a good idea.
i talking more of like a top down 2d kinda thing!
Uhh! this is creative and original! What a nice concept
I had a bit of trouble at first trying to make it work haha but I just needed to read the instructions, maybe make it a bit more user GUI friendly? or maybe you can just make a little tutorial at the begining, adding that illustrated chart you have on your game page would help!
Other than that, the gameplay is smart and creative, truyl one of a kind in this game jam!
And oof, the art style is BEAUTIFUL! the ghosts animations are lovely! really nice work there! Plus the background and color palette selection is perfect <3 This team is really talented!
Thanks for playing. I'm excited to read your comment. That makes my day!
Yeah, we have some UX issues that we didn't have enough time to improve in the jam. Wish we could have one more day for it.
Pretty nice game, a tad confusing at first but still fun.
Thanks for playing. Glad you like it!
A great game with really cute and good art. I didn't really get the point at first but I managed to understand it while playing. I didn't understand why the game ended while I was playing. I wished there was more to it but even like this I enjoyed it! It was a great and fun game. Good job mate!
Thanks for playing! We couldn't make the instruction in the game so we try our best to explain it on the page xd
I made an updated version HERE temporarily. Hope that will enhance your experience. We will put it here once the jam ends!
Really really enjoyed this one!!
I like the way it gets both easier and harder at the same time when you have more ghosts. Really clever.
The only thing I was missing was a hotkey for rerolling. Maybe maybe a way to select only 1 type of unit, but that might take away from the chaos.
Well done!
Glad you enjoy it. It's not perfect in terms of game balance. I guess no one can reach the level to unlock the last two ghosts XD
We plan to auto-rerolling the shop instead. HERE is a temporary link for an update. We will put that here after the jam. But you may try that out now :)
Ohh I like the visuals to indicate which type of ghost it is.
The auto reroll feels right here.
It was fun. It had a hard learning curve tho. It would be nice if u had the instructions before the game rather than on the itch page.
7/10!
Also please play my game
Thanks for playing! Glad you love the idea. Hope you managed those delivery ghost well xd
Great! I really liked the idea and it was fun to play! Just wish I was better at it, haha.
Thanks man! We have an updated version HERE temporarily. Check that out if you love to play more. We've solved some UX issues.
Very nice art and fun concept
Thanks for playing!
A very interesting concept, you drag ghosts and merge them together to carry heavier objects. The music and art are great. Honestly, the menu screen gives enough vibes to just stay and there and chill. Gameplay wise i think adding an option to select ghosts seperately would definitely benefit the game.
Thanks for playing on stream! It was great to see players reaction in live. Happy that you like it :)
LOVE THIS GAME!
Thanks for playing!
Nice idea! I don't saw games with the same mechanic, this is very innovatively)
Thank you!
Great Graphics! The music was nice and funky, and I was able to figure out the controls quickly!
my one tidbit of criticism is that it wasn't immediately obvious that I could buy another ghost. Other than that, excellent work!
Thank you! Do you think it's because the button not big enough or no instruction telling you that xd
I saw something in the corner, but I was too focused on the rest of the game to process what I was seeing, so I think either some instructions, or drawing the players attention to that in a different way would be helpful
Cool! We will work on that.
Nice artwork! The background art is simple but well fitted with the game! Well balanced game. I have great time playing it. Great entry, nice work!
It the first time hearing that it's a "balanced" game lol
Cos even I couldn't play till the late game to unlock all ghosts. Thanks for playing. Also played yours, it's a great game!
Nice game! Blew my mind in how in depth and complicated the mechanics were! the basic gameplay loop was pretty fun too. The art, especially the backgrounds, were great! They gave me heavy Supergiant vibes, which is a good thing!
I feel like the game could really benefit from an actual tutorial though, it was hard scrolling up and down to look at the infographic when the game was still going. I never really figured out what the stats do, it might be good to give the player little breaks so they can sponge information like that. Overall cool game though!
Thank you so much for playing our game and leaving a review in detailed! As the artist of the project, I am flattered to hear that the game gave you the Supergiant vibe lol. Hooray, Hades!
Yes, you are right. Giving a break for the player would enhance the gaming experience since now the game is too busy for the player. You need to keep rerolling the shop, lifting and hiding boxes, buying things etc. Maybe spawning the box wave by wave can give the player a break. The stats are power, speed and cost but in-game, we don't even have time to read the information.
Anyway, thank you so much for replying. I just left a review on your game. Feel free to check it.
Yeah it's something about the color palette and the large brush strokes! Thanks for the review, we will use your feedback whenever we update the game!
Very nice game! I wish it didn't end so abruptly. But very nice game mechanics. Loved the music, perfectly suits the game.
Thanks for playing! Yeah we didn't have time to make the "Play Again" button. Wish you could refresh to retry xd
Very cute game, I love it when they transport the boxes. I wish there was more content, though.
Thanks for playing. We didn't have enough time to even make the "Play Again" button. Wish you could refresh to play more. There're 6 type of ghosts in this game.
Cute graphics, ui needs some improvement though.
Thank you playing our game in the stream!
the poor ghosts look so tired D: one of mine got crushed by the red box q.q
nice game :) art is good, controls took me a lil bit of time to get used to but once I did it was okie :)
nice music/sound effects as well :D
You were doing pretty good cos only one ghost got crushed lol
We definitely would like to make the controls easier to learn if there were more time.
Thanks for playing :)
Very fun RTS resource management game.
Just a little note on controls: As a long-tested RTS control, it is better to use the right click too.
Old C&C uses right click to cancel selection.
Modern RTS games only use left click to select, right click to issue orders.
and for the game pacing, you can add some bonus score if the player is doing really well, so that they can skip early game and progress in the game faster if it is the 2nd or 3rd time they play
Thanks for trying the game so quickly XD
We didn't have time for balancing the game. We know it's messy in gameplay LOL
We will also consider your advice for game pacing. Those are great ideas.
Interns of the control, we were trying to also fit for the mobile users. So we restrict it to use 1 click only. It could be better if we have time to implement hand gestures handling.
