This was really cool, brilliantly put together in the short time and basically amazing that it plays as such a rounded little game. Only problem is now I feel a bit bad for those cute little flying ghost puppies. They sure got ate up a lot :D
Fun & monsterly puzzle game 😊
GAMEPLAY
This was a fun, stylish monster puzzle game to play. The game has a good progression, introducing new elements that come back later in a more challenging form. I didn’t need a tutorial; you quickly figure out how everything works. The controls were simple and effective. A bit more variety in the later levels would have been nice, but for such a short jam, this was already very polished and fun.
VISUALS
The visuals looked good, coherent and cute as well.
AUDIO
The background music suited the game, and the sound effects, especially for "eating," were fun and fitting.
THEME
The theme was incorporated and checked.
All in all, a very solid good game jam entry. Well done 💪!
Very interesting idea and mechanics!
The game is very fun and I saw your face when I found out that you can turn ghosts.
Wow, this is for sure my favorite entry yet! The puzzles are so interesting and the idea is great! This is extremely impressive for 24 hours, Keep it up!
Very nice game with cute art! I like the game mechanic very much and some levels really were hard to solve (which is good!). Some suggestions:
-Restart button for every level to click on
-if the cat ghosts get captured maybe a cute meow sound would work nicely as well
- a little story around it - like a short intro or outro/ending would be great!
Tutorial is very nicely done and there is stuff which the player needs to figure out - I like that!
Gratz on your submission!
Nice little game, i really enjoyed myself with this little puzzle game, if i must critique, i'd say that the gameplay becomes a bit repetitive after level 5, yes, the addition of candy gives the game more strategic depth,though i personally don't think that's enough. other then that, the only other critique that i can make is that the candy sprite doesn't fit with the rest of the game. but again, i'm just finding the needle in the haystack... good job keep it going!
Without a doubt, it’s a great game! I really appreciated the entire atmosphere, it’s amazing to see something so polished in such a short time
I really liked the level progression, especially how you showed us what each element does in a simple way before fitting everything into something more complex. The progression felt satisfying
The mechanics are also quite enjoyable and easy to understand, it’s that trial and error process until we learn how to move forward
Wonderful art, and the music and sound effects fit in perfectly! Congratulations on the project, and I wish you the best of luck in the jam!
Classic puzzle game that fits very well in the theme and feels very polished for such a short jam. The colour palette and the art are great!
Ooh great art and sound design! The concept is cool too!! Looks really polished, congrats on your hard work to get it done in time while also looking this good :) I appreciate the puzzle aspect as well.
Top-notch game! Had a real blast at playing this game. I hope you with win with this cool concept.
