I know the game jam is over already, but I just wanted to say that this game is really well done and looks aesthetically pleasing. The concept is simple, but is executed very well and adds a nice challenge having to switch between characters everytime. Overall nice cute spooky game!

Really cool take on reversing the roles during gameplay! Love the art style, super simple but stylish!

However I could not seem to get the black ghost to shoot for some reason? Maybe I was doing something wrong... Even then it was quite fun to see how far I can take it with only the white ghost being able to attack!

Hey really cool game you got here! Feels pretty polished and fun to play. Good take on the theme as well. 

I was slightly confused on the dark's attack since he wasn't shooting, but I take it he just melee's them. Maybe I missed it but might help if there's was little more tell to what he was doing. Also maybe I didn't make it far enough (2400 second time), but powerups might also spice up the gameplay.

Still though very cool and a great addition to the jam!!

There isn't much feedback i can give about this other than maybe give some options for volume. Otherwise this is fantastic! The way that managing two characters at once makes this quite mind-bending, the fact attacks correspond to the same input, the presentation is fantastic. Really well done!

very interesting concept and good realisation! that gameplay is so cool and for 48 hours this is good result

Fun and clever core mechanic with smooth controls and a beautiful minimalist presentation. Might benefit from a slower roll-out of enemies at first, but has a ton of potential to be expanded with different enemies, power-ups and level designs. Hope you keep fleshing it out! Awesome work :)

Really fun! Felt good to play! Wish the movement was a bit faster though

Super solid! Lots of fun and I could see myself trying for an even higher score someday. 2200 will have to do for now ;) Great job guys!
music was scratchy/glitched out though.

Super polished and really fun. I like this a lot. I feel like the difficulty curve also worked really well. Great job!

This is a very creative and smart game and I love the minimalist aesthetics!

Wow, this is really well made. The mechanics are simple but they make for a fun and quite tough challenge that can either make you feel hot footed of out of control. Great music as well I never got frustrated hearing it.

I got 3150 for my score! The swapping mechanic is fun! It got pretty challenging when there were a lot of ghosts on both sides!

Submitted(+2)

this is super fun and creative!! It gets hectic very quickly!

Submitted(+2)

This one was pretty challenging as the enemies started piling up but really quite satisfying when you get a grasp on the mechanics. Flipping the positions is really fun in itself but can break a little if you do it too quick. Still, I had a blast playing this entry! Great job!!

Got to 2050!  Really fun game!!  The swap felt satisfying and the different playstyles of each ghost kept things fresh.  

Submitted(+2)

Mmmm this genuinely feels really good to play. Getting into the rhythm of swapping and tracking both ghosts is super satisfying after a couple of minutes.

Exciting game. I like that this game challenges the player to score more points.
Good music and visuals.

I think, I little broke your game.

Great game! Loved the concept a lot. I also liked the uniqueness in your take on the theme.
