most unique game so far!, job well done!

Developer

Thank you so much. There are so many cool and unique games. I also enjoyed yours a lot.

This is a great game. Fun to just run around and knock things over. 9/10 great game

Thank you for your time :)

Ok, messing around with a family's house was more entertaining than I've expected. I loved everything in your game, so there is no feedback I can give you, congratulations!

Developer(+1)

I am so glad we could exchange some entertaining moments :)

This was like a cool toy, and I suppose it's a game about toying with people as a ghost! I had fun with it!

Developer(+1)

I'm happy to hear that :) 

Submitted(+1)

How I've longed for a game where you are a ghost causing trouble! Love the theme and the movement was fun.

Developer

Thanks a lot. I also enjoyed playing through your game :)

Good idea. 

I feel like it was a bit chaotic though, and it took me a while to figure out I was supposed to be scaring them, rather than hiding. Maybe having a single, smaller level for each family member would have been more understandable. 

The direction indicator for the character was also a bit subtle. Could have done with being more obvious.

The TV changing was a nice touch.

Thank you for your for feedback. This is exactly how we would do it if we could start all over again :D 

Submitted(+1)

Very fun to bounce around, though I wish there was more stuff to collide with and knock over. A little confusing about what to do, but great job. 

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! i fully agree - more stuff is always better

Submitted(+1)

The idea is reaaally cool. Also the graphics are pretty nice. Good job!

Developer

Thank you. Your game has also a lot of creative and inspiring components.

Submitted(+1)

The concept and visuals are great, however the movement felt unnatural and the entire game was very laggy throughout. Still a fun and enjoyable game though.

Developer

Thank you for passing by. I hope we can provide more quality options in future. 

Submitted(+1)

The idea and the graphics themselves are quite good. The movement of the ghost feels janky and uncontrollable though. The objects you could move to spook the members of the house were also inconsistent. I wasn't sure how I could move around objects to spook them. Nevertheless, great game!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. Valid points. Hint: When the ghost ist to slow, it cannot interact with objects.  Gain your speed level first by grappling multiple light sources in arow. When the speed bar is full, the ghost can fly very fast for a longer time and can crush into book shelfs or disturb the TV.

Wow!, I really loved your game; the idea and the graphics in such a small period of time. great job.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much. I'm happy that I got the help of another person. Nevertheless, 7 days still felt too short :D

Submitted

 You can try my game and rate it to give your feedback though..

Submitted(+1)

It's so refined. I love it!

Submitted

Woah that's insane! I really enjoyed the complexity of it all. From building the speed bar, to then having it interact with the physics depending on your speed. Plus the spook meters on each person were pretty cool as well. My only complaint is that my computer was not too happy that I was playing such a visuals-focused game, so it ran pretty slowly for me, so maybe have a lower quality setting (bra have an option to turn off the particles) so more people would be able to play! Pretty neat stuff!

Developer

Thank you so much for this detailed feedback :) 

Submitted(+1)

Pretty cool. Took some time before I understood that the light sources where the ceiling lamps. Maybe that could have been clearer :) Also a conclusion would have been nice. But cool idea!

Developer

Thank you for your time. Yes, the story telling defenitly came to short at the end but point's are taken for the next Jam :) 

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed the art style and the mechanics of the game. But I feel like the gameplay is a bit lacking.

There is no goal beyond filling the bar, nor is there any sort of ending or conclusion, it just resets I think. But I think you have a great basis for something special, it has a charm thats hard to find in commercial games.


Keep at it :)

Developer

That's true. We had so much collider issues that the story telling and conclusion came to short. Lessons learned :) 

Submitted(+1)

I really like the concept and creativity of it a lot! The graphics look great too. I think the audio could have used a bit more work but overall a really fun game!

Developer

Thank's a lot for passing by. You are right. You are fully right. We had to push the audio down on our priority list. 

Submitted

Well the priority list you have certainly worked well!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! I would have liked to have a goal to work towards to. E.g. do as much destruction as possible in X seconds. Or am I not seeing it?

Also, nice touch to have the person on the computer work on the Brackeys GameJam itself :-D.... There is definitely potential to make this even nicer in the future with some updates.. :-)

Developer

Cool,  Thank you for stepping by!

I have just played your game and shared my comments on your game's page! :)

Submitted(+1)

Very fun game, I loved the twist that you're the "not real" one.

Please play our game as well!

Developer

Thank you, i liked your game style and narration, felt like a wholesome game to me!

Submitted

It made me relax while I'm smashing everything. It was really fun.

Developer

Have fun everyone!
Here is also a quick video of the game play.
