Well done!

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed just walking around the overworld just taking in the pixel art scenery. And the central gameplay mechanic is a very unique concept. I love how peaceful and relaxing it is. The music is very comforting. Nice job.

This is so cute! I adored the little ghosty animations, and it was so sad when he died :c

Like aesthetics and controls of the game. Some niche problems tho: 

1) Resource indicator for coins is not clear enough. I'm using coins to buy upgrades for my ghost and at the same time I use coins to traverse through dimensions. 

2) Placement of both portals is a little weird, because sometimes I enter wrong village. I suggest placing them more separately 

3) Ghost Energy regeneration in safe zone could be a lot faster. 

Otherwise, I really dig your idea. Upgrades are cool.
