Really great job. Controls felt good, lots of polish here. Really well done!

How does your game fit the theme?
Once you defeat the boss, something happens and you need to run backward.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Part of the assets/library are pre-existed. Please see the credits section in the game description.

Innovative platformer! Not often words that go together. :-) I really enjoyed the bullet dodging boss fight, kind of reminded me of a side scrolling shooter, and/or gameplay you might find in Gradius or Raiden. Anyway, definitely fun! I agree with some of the comments below that gravity on the jump feels a bit strong. Then unfortunately, just as I was getting into it I got stuck here (see image) Despite the handy in-game instructions, I couldn't get up to that ledge. Probably just me.

Yea that part is quite strict … you may need to press W+A simultaneously while dashing with K. Also, you need to jump “lefter” than the instruction.
If we got slight more time definitely we will fix this part, the game actually starts when you get out of that room. Anyway, thank you for playing!
Thanks for your feedback! When you become the white ghost, you are supposed to run backward, all the way to the entrance. (you cannot shoot when you become the ghost.)
We should have made it clearer. As for now, after falling down to the cave, the only thing you can do is to go up, then immediately you will see a new path. so that’s it.
As for the key mapping issues, K might not be the best key to map as also pointed out by others. Nevertheless, we hope you can give it another try and, hopefully, enjoy it. Again, thank you for your feedback!

Indeed, the dash is quite short, otherwise, the ghost can bypass too many walls which will break the level.
Perhaps we can use some kind of deacceleration or something to add more weight to the controls (if weight is the correct word). I somehow feel it will work after trying other entries which also have dashes.
Thank you for playing and your comments!
