Fun to play, I really like the art style.
The immortal take on the reaper was nice, gave the game a nice difficulty curve as the ghosts started spawing faster and faster.

Nice entry overall!

Nice! I like the art style and atmosphere, the reaper feels scary and its sprite conveys its intension well. I like how  both the ammo respawning and the reaper chasing you force you to move around.

Because the ammo always spawns in the same place and both the reaper and ghosts follow you at the same way, the best strategy I found was to move around in circles across the arena, so maybe try adding other enemy behaviours or more incentive to move in different ways. 

Also, the enemies spawn very slowly at the start of the game, and then start spawning exponentially faster, so for a lot of the game there are little to no enemies, and then they spawn in one big boom, see if you can make them spawn a little more gradually.

I liked the UI for the ammo amount, and the animation for reloading. The sound for dying is funny.

Cool game, well done.

This is game has a simple idea, but it absolutely delivers on it!

Ammo is always something that you have to look out for, you'll never have too much of it. 

I really love the design of the gun. It feels very powerful against ghosts, the sound, the screen shaking makes really gives it a sense that you can put up a fight with it. Until that is, you shoot at the reaper, and it doesn't even respond in any way to it.  The bullet simply passes trough it, and I think that's a perfect way of conveying that the dynamic has turned on it's head, and that now you're the one who is all powerless.

Eventually, more ghosts come and you can be easily overwhelmed by their numbers.

I think the challenge is fair, and fun!

I advise anyone who can to give it a try.

I can’t play this because I don’t have a Windows PC. Sorry you’re not getting many reviews, but good luck!
