Man, this game is awesome! The pixel art is pretty well done and I really liked the expressions of those ghosts haha! The gameplay is pretty good. Very responsive and everything feels nice. The level transitions are very beautiful.
The only only thing I didn't like was the last 2 levels. Having to go back to get each ghost (or pair of ghosts) made it feel really repetitive. So I died a lot for losing patience and running straight in a ghost.
All in all, a really solid game. Well done!
Lovely pixel art! The concept is pretty fun too! I think most of the other comments have mentioned the stuff I wanted to note. My biggest gripe was that ghosts could appear to suddenly and you have no time to react. Maybe some kind of arrow around the edge of the screen that signifies if a ghost is nearby in that direction could work. Just an idea.
Still, overall, it was quite good, well done! :)

Roket SamuraiVery cute and spooky game. I really liked the mechanics of destroying a ghost by a certain sound of a bell. Very original idea. And the graphics are very cool!! I found the game quite challenging. I constantly bumped into a ghost and didn’t have time to freeze it. But overall I liked the game, very exciting!!

Freeze RunnerThis game was super charming! I love the premise and the graphics. I do agree with some of the other criticisms others have brought up-- particularly about speeding up the death animation. That is just a minor quality of life change, though. Great job!

Zero Belowthe graphics are extremely good, expecially those transition every change of scenario, also funny way of using the freeze mechanic

Be Chill RefillThe graphics and mechanics are fun! I like the sound-based idea and that you put the bells in the opening for the player to experiment with. I did find the game very difficult though as the cat & ghosts move really fast, it’s easy to get stuck on fences, and the death animation is very long so it’s frustrating to restart.

Freeze!Everything is awesome, the art, audio and animation for the area switching. This is a 10/10 for me! Your team knocked it out of the park!

Basilisk's LeapIncredible game, I liked mechanics, graphics and simplicity of controls.
leaving just a few points for improvement.
1-I think there should be an initial level with smaller and slower ghosts so the player can get used to the rhythm of the game.
2-the cat's scream animation should be around him to make it clear to the player that he doesn't need to be in front of the ghost.
3-clicking the bell should paralyze the ghost. because sometimes the game understands that you want to press the bell and not freeze the ghost and then you end up dying

nokitaThanks so much for your feedback! Those were some very nice points we'll be working on very soon (rn we need a rest lol)
Regarding point 3: The game core mechanic is supposed to be based on sound and paying attention to sound. The idea is for each ghost to be "killed" by a specific bell that matches the sound that particular ghost makes. Do you feel that part wasn't clear enough in the tutorial or something? We could work on that
I'm sorry, I'm testing several games to help the community, so I'm not reading everything carefully. After this jam phase I'm going to go back and play this game more calmly. I just found the ghosts a little fast and big, I don't know if players will be able to have reflexes to distinguish the sounds. but the game is without a doubt a lot of fun.
