This is a really cute game! I was initially put off by the download and art style, but I was proven wrong (although a WebGL build would help + art was charming).

Seems relatively polished and I found no bugs when playing. I enjoyed going through the level and seeing the various types of ghost enemies. Never felt too frustrating going around, plus I liked the lighting that you did to sell the experience. Really liked the sound design and the music (you made it yourself??) was actually really nice and fit the game perfectly. The composer on our team is definitely impressed.

The most annoying thing I found was the controls could have been slightly tweaked to make them feel more smooth and the level could have been designed so players don't have to constantly stop to kill ghosts? One last thing, losing all your progress after 10 lives is fine (I would have preferred a checkpoint), but I wanted to see what jumping down the pit would do. Needless to say, restarting wasn't the outcome I wanted.

But I think this game certainly is a gem and a very fun entry into the jam! Good work!

This game is enjoyable. I adore how you become friends with the spirits as opposed to destroying them. Although the experience may be improved and there could be more checkpoints to make it easier to move forwards, overall it works quite well. I enjoy both the audio and the graphics. Well done! Would you be ever so kind to play and rate my game? You dont have as its completly up to you :D

Great game! The sound when you turn ghost to a friend is funny :D  I like the lights. This music and the speed of moving give the game life and make it dynamic. I like that there's variety of ghosts. The map is well placed, but sometimes blocks were a little too low and I couldn't go there so I got to go another way. (unless it was intentional) Nice job!

This is a nice game. I love that you befriend the ghosts instead of killing them. It could use some coyote time to improve the feel, and some checkpoints to make it easier to progress, but overall it works pretty well. I like the visuals and audio too. Nice work!

PS: Thanks for the Linux build.
