He was surely a ghost. He had the whole red eye and everything! No way he was an innocent.

Cool game idea! I like how the the people could be seen as ghost from afar but revealed when getting closer, creates a nice trade-off between keping close to ensure the ghost is real while at the same time wanna keep a distance so the ghost does not do as much damage

I think the camera could be tweaked a bit more to give more sight in the direction you were aiming.

Developer

Yeah, the camera generally points ahead of the direction you were moving. Perhaps I could've made it to aim to where you were aiming instead. Thank you for the feedback!

The gameplay feels good and I like the way you use 2d shadow. Had a good time playing it.

Developer

Thanks! Getting 2d shadows to work with tilemaps was a pain, but I got it to work.

Your tie-in to the theme was fun, levels were a bit too big but I had fun playing it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The world was quite large, perhaps I should've made things smaller earlier.

I really enjoyed this game overall, it is a lot of fun to play! I also really like how you included the theme, you basically double followed the theme because not only were there ghosts, even the non ghosts could still be ghosts which would be not real!

Really frantic gameplay experience, supported by the music and the way the camera moves. I'd say it's maybe a more stressful than it is fun, but I imagine that's what being a ghost hunter would actually feel like. Challenging in a good way! I second the slightly empty feeling levels. However, it's a solid entry overall  with an interesting idea that could be built upon!

Thank you! I tried to make it fell stressful as your job, and it's great to see it works. Thank you!

The Game idea is cool. The Levels were a bit empty. And when you lose you start at the first map where the ghost is in the same place. I think it should've been a "Tutorial Level".

Over al good job!

Developer

Yeah, the first level is the tutorial level. Also, the levels gain much more objects at deeper stages, but perhaps I should've balanced that a bit more. Thank you!
