Whatever amount of time you spent on the sfx was time well spent! The feedback made the play that much more satisfying. Landing a solid smack on a ghost felt visceral with the audio. Made me want to do it again and again.

I played this on stream with a friend if you want real-time feedback. My main critique is that I think you could more clearly communicate to the player when they take damage. A white flash would suffice. You leaned into the audio, so a grunt would be fine too. I thought I was super slick dashing into enemies to take them out without realizing I was harming myself too.

Overall, a great concept and a fun little room to test the character out in. Thanks for sharing.

Developer

thank you so much!! this is very valuable feedback <3

Very fun, the dash is smooth and bonking the ghost with mouse movement is an interesting way to attack.

Developer

thankus! <3

Didn't know they made an official video game for this :

had so much fun with the ghosts, I forgot this was a test about the mechanics hehe.

I loved the game! The flip on the boat was sick as well, not gonna lie.

But so sorry. The ghosts win every time.

What a great game. The graphics are so good like the sound effects are too. I like the ghost slapping sound effect, it makes the game very funny and fun to play.

Developer

the game slaps great work the sound effects are very satisfying and its super cool but i think you can just endlessly smack them all so if there was a win state i think it would be great

slap sound is great, difficulty needs to be boosted a little. The polish is there tho so good job!

Developer

thank you for playing, and for your input!

Very polished! Wiggling the paddle around to slap enemies is a pretty unique ability, so nice work :)

It was actually really fun to play even though the gameplay is fairly simple! I like the polish and sound effects.

Developer

thankus!! had fun making it ^-^

Whacking ghosts with a stick is more fun than I'd have imagined it to be. Interesting concept as well, Charon on the river Hades isn't a thing I've controlled in a game before.

Developer

thankus <3
