Its a short game but really gets your heart beating fast. The maze is hard enough to not succeed first time which in this case improves the gameplay. Looks and controls good. Very  Nice =)

nice! :D
like the music and art! :)
also liked that you can walk into a dead end! (not much designer daring to do that anymore)
I only diddn't understand what the bar in low left corner of the screen was for?
but well done liked it! ;)

Thanks for the comment, really happy you got to try the dead end and liked it!
Our intention was for the bar to indicate your "Sanity" or some other parameter, where there is a sweet spot distance to the ghost, where you have most sanity. If you go further away or closer to the ghost, the bar drops, and it you get too far away or too close, you lose - the map is just a bit too complex for anyone to get far enough away for it to be used :P

Interesting game. I would say the "nightmare" spawns too close to the player and didn't give me time to react. It's a bit of a short game but could  be interesting if worked on a bit more.

Very short. But i think your on to something using enemies abilities to the players advantage. I like the art and the music was pretty good. Nice job, and also thanks for the follow!
