ze bad

  • with 'e' being the dig up button, it's difficult to dig while running, especially to the right

ze good

  • pixel consistency!
  • rather interesting concept
  • the music is interesting
Developer

Thank you! I definitely should've added other options for controls but ran out of time and didn't really want to update after the jam ended as that felt like it defeated the purpose of a game jam. Thanks for playing!

I really like the gameplay, choosing between safety and letting the ghost chase me so I can see what treasure is safe made for some tense moments. And baking the tutorial for escaping ghosts into the gameplay was a nice touch.

Developer

Thank you! I tried to keep the idea as simple as I could and limit a big tutorial so the player could learn naturally. Glad you enjoyed it!

I really like the game, I will say I feel like the movement speed makes it too easy to escape the ghosts and feels like on ice skates a little bit but I love the gameplay loop!

Developer

Thank you! I had some debating with the movement speed but I wanted the game to be an easy enough difficulty for anyone who wanted to play it. Especially those who don't play as much games!

I liked the pixelart + original (at least I haven't seen it before) idea. But I had problems with the controls, a separate plus for optimization. It loaded very quickly for me. 

Developer

Thank you! What felt especially wrong and the controls? Maybe it’s something I can improve.

Maybe it's just me, but the screen shifts a bit, I can't see the full screen expand button and wasd doesn't work. I can't attach a screenshot here for some reason.

Developer

WASD doesn’t work even when checking the box? And yeah I should probably mess around with the camera settings in hindsight.

I apologize, I didn't notice the checkbox. The requirement in the checkbox is due to a feature of your engine ?

Developer

I think there’s a way to have both be available but I need to look into it more!
