I loved the sound effects, it made me smile while playing lol. The idea for this was really unique, I liked zapping the enemy spirits with the light beam. I really like the music you made too, it gave a cool vibe to the game. Great work! :^)

Thanks a lot for your nice comment!  The sound effects are pretty goofy hahaha, probably an area of improvement for me but they made me laugh so I'm okay with that!  I'm excited that you liked the music :D

The sound effects were funny. Also the difficulty felt very well balanced. I got 6 guys to the end.
