- Cool mood, like the little dancing ghosts. I'm not sure I understood the game tho. I would brink drinks to ghosts, but there's some ghost that just wander and never ask for any drinks. I don't know what upgrade the bench would do. I would sometimes lose out of nowhere, no reason given or I would end up having no more ghost in the bar ever and the music stops and then nothing happens. Maybe the game is unfinished ? I'm not sure. Some kind of tutorial or onboarding woul'dve helped immensely. Cute game !
Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)

The idea is pretty cool and the game play is quite fun!
The idea of this one had me interested (you're bartending for ghosts, that just sounds like a fun idea), but it needed a lot more refinement. Initially I couldn't tell if the ghosts automatically went to their seats or if you had to lead them there; a tutorial might have helped with that. It also felt like there were too many ghosts to manage, but after a short period of time, the ghosts just stopped coming, and I was expecting it to go on for quite a bit longer. I also would have liked more sound effects, especially for filling the glasses. The game looks nice at least, but everything else needed more polish.
Thanks for your feedback! I'll keep these in mind if I work on this again.
I really like what you were going for! I also encountered a ghost that didn't wanna sit down but then I realized the game was trying to tell me to upgrade for more seats. the fully black text wasn't very legible in the comfy/moody pub. Also I just... ran out of ghosts at some point? They didn't wanna come in anymore.
I love that the ghosts move to the beat of the music! It's cute! I would also like a dash (maybe with a risk of spilling the drink?) and the ability to press a button to hand over the drink (so I can choose which patron I serve first)
Would love to become a ghost mixologist. You did great given the limited time you had because of circumstances. Don't leave this project yet!
thanks for your kind words! I will be sure to get back to the project sometimes. thanks!

Maybe a bug :think:
One of the ghosts refused to sit down, and didn't request any drink. I failed because their meter ran down.
I will look into that after the jam ends
Alright, I did have fun playing it though!
I managed to get up to 500+ :d
Just wanted to let you know in case you'd been unaware of the bug and maybe wanted to fix it before the deadline OwO
If you enjoyed it a rating when the period starts would be nice :3
It was made in 2days while being sick so it's not well polished. Thanks for understanding
