Nice, simple little game! I liked the platforming (the bounce pads were very fun), and the graphics were pretty good too. I also really enjoyed trying to kill all the ghosts. One suggestion would be to add some kind of purpose to killing the ghosts, because right now you can pretty much ignore the ghosts for the most part and still complete the game just fine. Of course, it's way more fun to try and kill all of them, which is why I'd like some reward for doing so. Just a suggestion. Regardless, a great entry! Good job.

Also, maybe you could check out and rate my game? :)

The platforming felt good and I enjoyed taking out the ghosts on the way to collecting the gems. The bouncing was definitely fun too!

A solid platformer with nice aesthetics. Very intuitive with the introduction of the jump-pad mechanic. Well done!

This is a great game, the music really complimented the level design and enhanced the overall mode of the playthrough. Awesome work! =)

Bouncing around was the highlight of my game experience there! Good job making a solid platformer.

I really liked, how you tweaked the playercontrols and the music sets the mood!

Yeehuu "You made it!"

Well done there! Doable for a terrible gamer like myself, not overly complex. Easy to understand, yet enjoyable and smooth gameplay. Fell down a couple of times, got lucky a couple of times... Made it to the end in the first go.

I particularly liked the fact that it was not super easy to time the shots against the ghosts in combination with your jumps as they were strategically placed not at the very top and not at the very bottom.

Also read that you've created this on the backfoot of your first course and all by yourself! That's commendable, very nicely done. Congratulations!

Well done for the first game after your course! The jump could be improved, but it was nice to just kill some ghosts and collect diamonds on my way! Congrats in posting it and letting people enjoy your art :-D

Hey!, Great game, good mechanic of a trampoline platform.

The bounce felt good, I did have some clipping on the audio when collecting the soul fragments. Really an impressive amount of content here, good job!

Very cool! I really enjoyed the bouncy slime mechanic!

There is a sort of “pop” when picking up the Soul Fragments. Not sure if it’s just on my end but it was slightly disorienting.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I think I might need to replace the sound effect.
