it was quite fun, i liked that you had to jump on your ghosts to win

I really liked your game, it gave me a retro vibe, like some type of game I would find on an arcade, and I loved your character, it was so cute. Very good job. I streamed it on my twitch, in case you want to watch it.

Oh, Thank you!

You have a problem with the jumping mechanism. I could climb up the walls.

Other than that it was easy and fun. The art style is minimalist. Good work!

(edit) - nice drop animation!

You are haunted by your past failures! But don't worry, they are actually pretty useful!

I love the twist on the classic - instead of leaving your body there when you die, they turn into a ghost. Manipulating them to jump on their head at the right time and clear obstacles is so satisfying.

The graphical style is very oldschool, monochrome but expressive, and never have I found myself confused of what I was seeing. Great presentation!

The camera I found a bit strange. I see the effort to give it that "technological limitation", just like the graphics, but sometimes during the level it cuts off certain portions that are important to see. Like in the last jump, where you jump up, camera pans up, and you can't see the ghost you are aiming for below.

Beside that, a lovely experience. 

And the addition of a timer makes me itch to attempt the game again to improve my time.

Awesome entry!

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you mostly enjoyed it.

Yes, I should have adjusted the camera movement more.  I'll care about details like that more next time!

Fun game! I'm really a fan of the aesthetics. Super simple but it works really well. Ghost mechanic is super cool, reminds me a lot of Hollow Knight. Great work!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah, Actually, the idea was inspired by a Hollow Knight shortcut (www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOmoTuLzpjA)
