The art style and the audio is nice! The concept is really interesting! I really like the idea of editing the environment to change the behavior of the NPCs I can’t seem to affect more than one thing at a time and am stuck on the second level. Overall looks good so far!

Game Description
You're a recently deceased adventurer who has come back as a ghost to watch over your grandson, Little Timmy, as he sets out on a quest to avenge your death. Unfortunately, Timmy has no idea what he's doing. It's your job to keep him alive, despite his best efforts.
How does your game tie into the theme?
You play as a ghost who can haunt objects (move them, trap chests etc.) to help Timmy on his adventure.

Fun little puzzle game. The puzzles took some getting used to, but once I started figuring them out it felt rewarding.
Very original idea! It was a bit hard to figure out how to play the game at the start but once I did I felt like this game was very rewarding! Well done! You've made a very good puzzle game with a nice wholesome experience.
Really Love the Idea, the art style and the humor.
A little more time in level design should have been spent on it, to help player understand what everything does
You could add more tutorials explaining what to do, or just make it easier. I think the trough the teeth card dis making it alot more difficult than it needs to be. The art style is just amazing, but i think that the dialogue box could be just a bit more decorated. Audio is also perfect, love the background song and the talking sound. Overall a solid game.
Could use a little more tutorial or a more gradual learning curve. I almost quit on the first puzzle, but I'm glad I stuck with it! Very rewarding once I figured it out

I liked the game. Very simple, good story, decent puzzles. A wholesome experience. Some text was off screen but ultimately wasn't relevant to the solutions. And the dialog sounds were jarring compared to the calm music.
I really enjoy the idea of the game, but wasn't able to figure out what exactly I was supposed to do. I think the lying through the teeth wild card might make that more challenging, but maybe could be avoided if there was more feedback as to what would happen when the ghost haunts an object, or what that even does?
Thanks for the feedback. I realized near the end that it was a bit confusing what you're supposed to do so I added a bunch of QoL features to try to make it clearer (highlighting the objects you can interact with, adding tooltips to some objects, adding dialogue to tell you not to listen to Timmy). I guess it still wasn't enough - I'll keep that in mind for next time.
I love the idea of the grandpa guiding silly little Timmy on the quest for revenge, really original. Once you get the hang of it, the gameplay is really fun, a lot of trial and error but very rewarding once you figure it out. I had a bit of a hard time noticing the markers for actions, I noticed that I can only make one change in the beginning, but did not know why.
The only real issue I had was the typing sound for the dialog, that was really hard on the ears straight at the beginning, especially compared to the soothing music.
Really liked the idea on this one, but I think I'm too dumb as I couldn't get past the second screen with the bow and arrow. Super fun though, would definitely revisit with more time.
