Fun little game with great graphics!

Great little puzzle game with some sneaky stealth mechanics. Animations and designs are super well done. I ran into a few snags with collisions, but having the quick reset made it not an issue at all. Great job and keep at it.

Really clever puzzle game! I liked how the mechanics are being introduced and the level progression.

Well done! I like that you tried to incorporate a story into your game jam game. That definitely helped to get me hooked. Had a lot of fun playing. Choosing sokoban mechanics is a really good choice for a game boy game. Overall a little bit janky, because the boy did get stuck multiple times. 

With a little bit of polish I think this could turn out to be something special.

Love the puzzles only thing I wished for was that the edges were rounded so you would have to be so precise when pushing things through tight hallways, other than that well done!

The game is very fun and creative. The Gameboy feel is very well executed, and the color palette was very well chosen.

I loved how you used the "pushing boxes" mechanic in such a creative and original way. The art is beautiful, and the audio is very pleasant to listen to. Congratulations, really well done!

This is a well-crafted puzzle game. The graphics are really well done, and the dialogues are funny (I learned why ghosts have tunnel vision). It’s a bit rough around the edges, but with some attention, that's relatively easy to fix. Overall, I enjoyed playing this game.

Once I could load the game (don't spam spacebar during cutscenes people, it hangs!) I had a blast. Neat and tidy block puzzling with lots of GB charm. Very cool!

Creators Note: Turns out i missed a pretty big bug where pressing space in the cutscenes can cause the game to freeze up, If you do give the game a go make sure you dont press space during the cutscenes.

Awesome!! Really clever and funny game mechanic, well-designed puzzles, awesome nostalgic graphics. The soundtrack was great too. Spooky theme was certainly felt, kind of scary the first time a ghost rushes you. Really strong entry!

A most excellent game. It it weren't for the pressing spacebar on dialogue prematurely stops the game (I made it to the top but lost the epilogue because of this), it would have been perfect. Also, some glitchy colliders make the guy stick to the walls.

Thank you so much for letting me know, I had no idea it did that I should have been more thorough with my bug testing I guess.
