Pretty tough, but still fun. The game is simple enough that it doesn't feel like a hassle to start over a couple of times. It was hard predicting where ghosts would move to or be at, but it added to the challenge and I felt like it was balanced well.

You absolutely perfectly nailed the lighting/vision distance. It was enough vision that it felt like if the ghosts hit me, it was my fault - but also little enough to keep me on edge and unsure of my surroundings. You threaded that needle beautifully.
Also, major kudos to you, you managed to make me get spooked by that goofy looking ghost sprite - I didn't think it was possible - but you made the art work the way you wanted, despite the limitations.
The movement was a little bit... jerky? It wasn't as smooth as I would have liked, but that's only a minor problem.
Also, I would have /loved/ some spooky background music to really immerse me even further in the scary setting.
But overall, I really enjoyed the game - played it all the way to that sweet, sweet "You win" campfire screen, haha! Great work!
Thank you for the detailed feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was having difficulty with the difficulty (lol) so it's good to hear that you think I nailed it. It's really only hard if you try to rush through, though it can be nerv racking if you are on the third floor and have died a lot already. I personally like the suspense.
I am not gonna lie it only took me 1(11) tries to make it to the end.The ghosts random movement and narrow corridors scared me a lot.Very fun and epic.

Detective MonochromeHaha the first time a ghost got me i got scared by the sound effect xD I had fun playing though, got to the second floor before the ghosts caught up with me again! I was pretty proud of that. I think the camera drags a little too far behind the player as it moves, although not sure if that was a feature to make it harder or not, in which case it did :') Good game though, I had fun!

Boating for BreadThe concept is really cool and it takes almost no time to figure out what to do. The ghost keep making me jump. It is a pity that you have to restart completely when you die - I am so bad at this I couldn't see the end after several attempts.
