Great game! Very simple, looks very nice, and has some nice audio. Was very short, but still pretty fun. I do have a couple of problems with the game:
Honestly, very polished, short, and overall solid game that ends up being pretty fun. Good job!
Thank you so much for the generous feedback, really got some good points here!
Yup it really does lack the variety, I've focus into the core gameplay first and didn't get much time after that haha. But who knows maybe I might add some variety post-jam.
Cheers!!!
Simple, well put together, fun, visually nice.. ideal gamejam game! Well done!
I think other people have covered the only issues I have too, so I'll leave it at that. :)
Glad you enjoyed the game!!!
Very cool, I really liked the animation of the people getting spooked! I'm guessing you used the NavigationServer for the people AI? Also, I didn't totally get the point about the diary at the top, was the ghost trying to get it?
I've used the Navigation2d with NavigationAgent2D for the AI here, They said there was a bug with the NavigationServer so I wasn't able to try it out.
The diary at the top was the diary of the ghost and the people where trying to get its secret, was not able to properly communicate that in the game hahaha.
Thanks for trying it out!
Super cute! Other people have mentioned the collision shapes so I won't. I like the sound effects a lot, and the art feels really clean. Great use of a color palette!
I'm getting hammered down here hahaha.
Thank you so much for the feedback!!!
Lol sorry sorry 😅
Poor ghost aww.
Game is sooo polished and good looking. Controls felt a bit weird at times, with getting stuck on walls being an issue. Otherwise, scaring people felt very good and I enjoyed being able to predict their patterns.
He just want to be scary and not be made fun ooof.
I do get a lot of being stuck in the wall issue hahaha, thanks for noticing it also!
This is a very solid entry. You chose the scope well and you focused on delivered a small but very polished experience with a well defined and fun core gameplay. The art style is solid and audio is appropriate.
One minor detail I noticed is that the collision shape for the player seems to be a bit too big. Several times the sprite led me to think I could pass, but I couldn't.
Overall very good.
Thank you so much for the generous feedback, I really appreciate it!
I do agree with the collision, I've noticed it too while play testing it.
I absolutely love the art style you have here. I think the color palette makes it look really unique too. The animations were great, and it was very satisfying to scare people away. :) The idea of a nearsighted ghost is also super cute. Great job!
I'm really glad I've tried the 2 color pallet here.
Thank you so much for trying it out and glad you enjoyed it!
I liked the art style a lot. I noticed that the intruders got caught on corners a lot, which made spooking them easier, but it was still pretty fun to play.
Ooof, wasn't able to see that while testing haha. Thanks for trying it out, Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved the art style its so cute and expressive! Very clever that its the ghost that cant see well instead of just no lights even if the result is the same having this especification makes you understand more of the character you are playing nad its really nice. Excellent game
Thank you so much!!!
Seems adding that little story for the character really makes a difference, now I know it was totally worthit!
Beautiful game. I liked the idea, the graphics, the sounds and music and no performance or control issues. Probably adding different levels or different difficulties.
Thanks!
I do agree with the addition of new levels, who knows might add one or two some day haha. Cheers!!
The art works really well. It was neat.
Man the art style is very stylish, amazing stuff
I think if you add a score like how many npc that got scared before finishing their task will be a great addition to this.
Great work! Congrats for the sweet and stylish submission!
Yes the scoring was really one of the feature I initially want to implement on the game, but due to time constraints and busy schedule I had to focus on the cores :(.
Thank you so much for the sweet feedback <3
Really nice game, love the art style and music! The game mechanic with the limited vision and movement is cool too! Congrats!
Thanks for the feedback <3
Short but incredibly sweet. Love the flat color aesthetic you went for here. It works incredibly well with flat shadows.
Thank you so much!
I also loved the stylized artwork. Amazing how much emotion you can convey with such elegant shapes and so few colours. I must study this form.
Thank you so much! It's really great to see your POV here instead of me having tunnel visions about it
Very nice entry. I love the graphics, very simple and yet very good. It follows the theme and it's not forced like other I've seen. So far one of the nicest I've seen.
Very good work!
Hey there, Thank you for that sweet feedback, Really appreciate it!
Appealing art style and sound effects. Simple but effective mechanics. Maybe a little too easy.
Thanks for the feedback!
And I was here worried that the was too hard for people to enjoy, good to see your insight on this!
