This feels very authentic and is a great idea. I'd have liked it if I could move a bit faster, but I guess that just adds to the challenge, haha

Nice game. Hunting the ghosts wasn't as easy as I thought XD
I mostly accidentally took up the cross too early and the ghosts disappear in the wall again. But good  realization of the theme :)

Hey! Nice touch on the theme! I see several motives that using it. Also the game sounds very authentic for a Nokia 3310 game :D Character don't seem to move on the 84x48 pixel grid though :)

I like it! Needing to exorcise the ghosts with your head does make it unnecessarily hard, but the concept is good for both the jam and in general. Best use of music I've come across this Jam... using it as a mechanic within the restrictions is a smart idea, and when the lights were out things felt creepy. I liked the use of the 2 colours that made the ghosts only semi-visible with the lights on. There is a lot of ghosts in that tiny house though, I'd just recommend the tenants move out haha

haha yeah it does not seem like a very valuable  property with all the hauntings ;).

I really wanted to make another hitbox for the cross to make it feel better but ran out of time sadly.

Thanks for playing the game and giving valuable feedback!

Interesting use of colour. The concept works very well, and I like how the jingle you get when you pick up the cross lets you know how much time you have left.

Happy you tried out my little game :)

Thanks for the compliment and that means I succeeded with the intended effect of the little jingle ;)

I wish the character moved little bit faster but otherwise it was fun to explore the house. I also liked the music. Great job :)

Thanks for trying the game out and for the nice music comment!

Yeah i agree that the speed could have been a little quicker =)

Fun little game, definitely something that could have existed on the Nokia 3310. Nice!
