Nice little game!
Such a nice and fun little game! Great art and the music is very fitting as well. The best thing about this game for me is probably the depiction of ghostbusters being plague doctors, hahaha - very well done, everyone!
Happy to hear that you enjoyed the game :)
Art and sounds are definitely two things in which we invested a lot of effort!
Such a fun game!! A really good concept and I liked that the controls were kept simple which made the experience really smooth and satisfying:)
Good job!
Thank you! Your comment means a lot to us :)
Smooth controls, I liked that I did not have to push a button to interact with the objects, I just had to run through them. Also, the ghost's relative speed compared to the hunters was good, I had the chance to kite them. As nickbdawg said, it felt really satisfying to scare two or three of them at the same time, then getting the hell out of there.
One thing that was a bit disrupting for me in the beginning was that I wasn't always sure about where a wall ends and it stopped me from time to time, but after a while it was just muscle memory.
We are really happy that you had such a good time with our game :)
Thank you for your feedback about the walls. We tried to give the graphic some three-dimensional perspective, which have come with some downside as the one you mentioned. Not sure how to fix it though
This was fun! It's a pretty simple concept but it's well executed and the music and art really make it feel polished. It was very satisfying to get multiple ghost hunters in the room and scare them all at once. Great job!
Thanks man!
I think there's a degenerate strategy here involving running around a corner and triggering the same two objects over and over. But ignoring that (and my own lack of patience causing quite a few game-overs) its a neat concept that works pretty well!
Yeah we noticed that. We tried to playtest as much as possible on the last day to avoid exploits but, to keep it playable for everyone and not make it too difficult, some sneaky strategies are still possible.
Really cool game. I love the art style, the music is also cool and he ending is pretty funny.
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed our little game :)
