This game is just amazing. Very polished presentation and excellent level design. Congrats!
What a joy to play! I think I got soft locked on the third level near the top, when I had to teleport away, but there was no teleport ghost to power up from so I was just stuck there. It also took me a while to realise that it was killing an enemy changes your weapon.
Other than that though, this is as close to perfect as you could hope for from a game jam! You and the team should be very proud.
Move over old favorite, this game is my new favorite. I'm done playing and I've still got the game open in the background so I can listen to the music.
Yeah this is just a really good entry, the gameplay is fun and the puzzle are well made, the art is nice and the audio is good. it fits spooky really well. there isn't much else I can say that people haven't probably said already but yeah this is very well made.
Wait a minute.... I believe I completed the game but I didn't see those puzzles from the screenshots.... It was fun to play, I didn't know about charging the attack at first and got stuck, then I watched the gifs and that helped me, after that I was able to "complete" the game but I believe I just completed a part of it... Anyways, the game is pretty fun.
Wow! The lantern is a great puzzle mechanic that is extremely fun to use. The art is proficient and creepy, with great attention paid to the lighting. The character design is charming. The puzzles are just thoughtful enough without being frustrating. The soundtrack is simply excellent.
That was a cool GBJAM 12 splash screen!
Great job on the GB-style sound cancelling; it sounds great!
Fantastic! Great work!
glad you liked the soundtrack and sound cancelling =w=
Really nice and inventive puzzles, great design overall! What won me from the start was that it was really easy to understand how the mechanics work! Excellent entry!
Very good
Best entry I've played, great art, music and gameplay, I got stuck on the cogs though, couldn't move forward or backwards, quite frustrating as I wanted to continue playing, I got past the door, picked up the life, but then couldn't see a way out of it, just kept moving back and forth between the three rooms and dying repeatedly lol
Just read another comment, apparently there is a ricochet move? Maybe that might have helped...
Felt really polished and pretty much like a complete experience. If I was playing on a GB it would've felt right at home.
This game was well designed throughout and fun to play. Puzzles are very engaging and the combat is unique. I suggest detailing the tilemap to have more of a sense of direction or perhaps more variety(pics on wall, rug, etc) so there isnt much wandering around the puzzles and unnecessary doublebacking. Briefly, I felt like quitting when I couldn’t find the secret garden. Also, you may be aware of this already but there’s a small bug when you fall off the map where the player doesnt resize back to normal. This game has great potential, I hope you guys plan on expanding until completion. Keep it up!
Thanks for playing!!
Adding landmarks is a really good point, will keep that in mind for the future
Great game! The puzzles are very clever, and the variety of ghosts the player can use is impressive. Eventually I got stuck in the section with the teleportation ghosts, I only had a regular ghost and I was no longer encountering tele ghosts so it seemed like a softlock, but just a minor bug compared with the rest of the game being fantastic. Nice job!
Nice game. Have you tried not to normalize the direction vector of the player? Might make diagonal movement smoother.
Gameplay, music, and graphics are on point. Everything is very well done. There’s not much more to say. I know the Jam has the theme of a GB-like game, but I would easily play this on the Switch hahaha.
That was a blast to play, I really enjoyed the mechanics and the flexibility of the commands. The levels were packed with character and I'm frankly shocked at how much game you managed to include. The sprites felt like a really good use of the space, and the movement and animation drew the eye across the level.
The music and SFX were really well covered from all directions. It felt like everything had something to "say" when it was interacted with.
I found some difficulty where the paths split and wasn't sure where to go - especially with meeting a dead end that wasn't solvable from that position.
Beautiful palette and shading work.
Thank you so much for playing, and enjoying the music `\O(=w=)>
Is this really a game jam game? It feels so fleshed out and polished! From the loading screen with the tombstone Gameboy cartridge, it grabs your attention and never lets go. The sprites are beautifully detailed, and the music and sound effects fit perfectly. I love how the four colors were used creatively with the lamp and shader. The screen transitions feel very Gameboy-esque. I played for quite a while, expecting to reach the end, but it kept presenting new and increasingly challenging puzzles. Definitely one of the best submissions I've played. Awesome game!
Gameboy perfect art and clean gameplay! Loved the lantern mechanic and effect :) Excellent submission!!
I love this game! The art, the gameplay, the sound, it's all top notch! Nice job!
The mechanic of capturing ghosts in your lantern and it inheriting their power is such a good idea. Everything about this game (the art, gameplay, sound) just oozes quality. Truly a pleasure to play.
Really cool, fun puzzle explorer. Amazing music and art, original gameplay, and super polished!
