Really enjoyed the music and even voice acting! very nice. The controls took a little getting used to but probably because I don't play many 2D games haha. Fits nicely with the theme and has a neat story, well done!
Ah man!, when I first saw the main menu, I though that you used the graves as buttons, turns out not :/, though I highly Advice to try to do it, it’ll be much cooler like that
The game idea is good, I liked the differences between the realms, but the wall jumping wasn’t consistent, sometimes the skeleton will jump up and sometimes the opposite direction, and it was a bit annoying to wait for the souls to come to you in order to gain you soul to be able to transform, maybe you can make them start slowly moving towards you once your soul isn’t full just like a magnet
The last area I reached was very dark, I couldn’t play properly so I quit, but good game overall, good job
This was really cool. Reminded me of Soul Reaver which is no bad thing :)
The animation and character designs were great. Very distinctive style to it.
Thanks!
Soul Reaver was definitely an inspiration :)
Absolutely amazing game, loved everything from the art to the gameplay, I think I got stuck on the last level, but I really hope you possibly continue this project. I did a short playthrough on youtube, your time stamp is 12:13 https://www.youtube.com/@constantanxiety7182/videos
Thanks. We needed more playtesting to balance levels better.
nice game!! good sound!
The VO work is top notch - it sounds great with the effects as well.
I love the art work, the animation, and the shifting animation looks amazing. You've nailed the atmosphere with the artwork, music, and sound effects.
The gameplay is fun and engaging, the only thing I wish was a bit different was that you didn't require 100% to become a skeleton again. It might have been a specific choice, but I would rather be able to swap at like 80+% so if you mess up a wall jump or something you don't need to backtrack as much to collect the powerups! Very fun game!
Thanks.
The choice of needing you to be 100% was indeed a conscious one, but the game has some game/level design challenges and these needed more play testing to get right.
This game looks and sounds fantastic, and I truly wish I could play it properly, but for some reason it keeps crashing when trying to learn the diagonal dash at like the second or third jump in the tutorial.
I’m on an M1 Mac with macOS Ventura 13.3.1, if that helps!
sorry to hear that. The game was tested (and developed) on a Mac, but with Intel processor. Around that part of the game souls start appearing and I noticed their shader doesn't work well in webgl (which is why the game has no webgl version) so it might be something related to that.
I enjoyed you game a lot. The story building was immersive the character abilities were well thought out. It handled well. I think this game would benefit from a dash cooldown indicator. That way we can know exactly when we are able to dash again, especially since the flying around as a ghost is so dependent on the dash. The art was really nice, good job on the aesthetics. This is a very solid and engaging game.
Everything is perfect. I like the music, aesthetics, mechanics, and sound also the story, except for the control, the control just feel weird and shift key attack keeps reminding my stupid windows sticky keys that annoys me a lot, but everything else is perfect, great job in just a ten days jam!
I really like the game world and the atmospheric surrounding, you did a great job with the game art used in this game, big thumbs up for you guys :)
I really liked the graphics. the game came out atmospheric.
Congratulations!
Wow! I Really liked this game, the platforming was challenging but in a fun way . The way you used the theme was great, giving both the forms their respective pros and cons was good as well. Really really enjoyed this game . Huge props to you guys!!
Thanks! And thanks for the rating :)

Really great game, smooth platforming, the wall jumping was a little hard to figure out at first because it would jump away from the direction i was holding but I realised I could just not press a direction and it would let me climb higher on the wall i was stuck to, I appreciate the clingyness of the wall jumps I much prefer it to games where you slide down walls fast, Despite this i gave it a 5/5 great job!
Thank you!
Beautiful game, wonderful gameplay, but some things were not so wonderful like I couldnt figure out how to get into the castle, I knew the button opened the castle door but I didnt know how to enter it. The wall jumping was odd and collecting souls were sometimes nightmarish. I was hoping that we could enter the material plane at any soul level but we couldnt so if I hit "e" instead of "f", I had to wait for a few seconds to find a sould. Other than that, great game!
There should be a hint there but it seems to be missing. Press for on the left part of the big door.
Some things we didn't manage to polish in the end. Thank you for the review.
Absolutely phenomenal! Really fun and all the mechanics are quite polished (except the wall jump is a little jank). I'm not going to rate it yet because I can't figure out how to go inside the castle but so far really good! One of the best games in the jam

Thank you for the kind words
Thank you! I got in the castle, so I'm going to rate it now. Very good game in all fields!
This is a really nice game! The aesthetics reminded me a lot of Hollow Knight. Well done!
I loved the mechanic, it plays very well with the story and theme! I found some parts unclear where i needed to go. Overall was great!
