I really liked the troll aspects of the game, but I did quite dislike how you could get softlocked so easily by not pushing a crate strong enough for example in level 2 or 3 it was. I couldn't get past the level with the 3 horizontal ghosts in the wide open area from top to middle and the vertical ghost at the bottom left with some useless button where spikes would appear when you go on it. I was thinking maybe I could lure ghosts with the ghost at the bottom left and then kill the other ghosts but that didn't really work and felt like it wasn't intended so I couldn't figure out in what order to do the ghosts to not get killed by one of the last two.
Still great fun!

I think I beat that level - at least a level with that mechanic - so it might be a later level than that where I was stuck. In the level I was stuck in there was a crate at the top right after very long vertical stairs spanning the whole right of the level. (and spikes above the crate just to troll people jumping over it without pushing it)
The graphics and movement in the game gave me Spectrum vibes, nice little platformer. It took me a while to figure out the ghosts would only attack from behind, like the Boos from Super Mario, a visual cue for this would be helpful.
I like the challenge, but it’s disappointing to have to reset after falling in a pit that looks safe only to find out you can’t reach the ladder again. With more indication of the traps the game would feel more fair. As it is, I only made it about halfway through.
