Amazing game the only complaint is their were not suction particles but it's a game jam so it's fine

That was cool! The mechanics are competent, the art is proficient, and the character design is charming. The soundtrack is also competent.

The palette inversions in the intro might warrant a flashing lights warning.

All-in-all, great work!

Nice concept, the minigame's sound cue is genius, it pretty much prepares the player to react in time. The atmosphere and visual design reminded me of Batman - Return of the Joker for the GB.

Solid entry, congrats!

The art is charming and I like the idea of a little minigame to finish capturing the ghost.

I enjoyed playing. Good work!

Nice Ghostbuster-y idea on the theme. I like the spritework and the color palette. I'm not the biggest fan of the input sequence, but thats personal preference. I did miss additional sfx, the only thing I heard was the beep when the sequence started. Or did I miss anything?

Its a very cute game, the input sequences add a decent amount of difficulty to the game and are a very cool idea. i loved the sprites and soundtrack, feels just like a gameboy game.

Feels quite polished, all the transitions and animations feel smooth and well thought out.

It's fun and very charming, artwork and music nails the gameboy vibe and the controls are tight. The enemy variety is very well made too, specially with its movement. One minor gripe of mine is with the input sequence, feels a bit disruptive. Maybe if instead of being with rhythm it was by pressing the correct sequence it could help with that.

Overall I really liked this entry, great work!

Very nice game, and the gameplay idea of entering the correct sequence to capture the ghost is really cool. Good graphics and music. Great job!
