How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
Choosing to focus on ghosts as the central 'spooky' element, I made a game about a cowboy that catches ghosts (kinda like Luigi in Luigi's mansion). I chose a spooky color palette and tried to make the music feel spooky as well. There is also the inclusion of a devil, which matches the Halloween aesthetic and wraps the story together nicely.

Nice entry! I found that some of the ghosts were really difficult for me to beat, and because of the random nature of the encounters, I kept going back to the devil to give him souls right after I beat a ghost instead of risking it to continue exploring which I think made the pacing a little frustrating. Other than the difficulty balance, I found the gameplay engaging and the B button mashing was a nice touch.
The graphics, music, and setting all served the theme well. In particular, I really liked the setting and characters. I was hoping that the story would advance - maybe I didn't get enough souls for something to change?
pretty cool! maybe a bit difficult for me but it was fun mashing the B button! thank you for building and submitting!
Great job, this was very fun! It reminds me of Crypt of the necrodancer. I did have some issues with the collision when walking around, but that was minor.
