Realy, relay, realy nice game.

I had a lot of fun while playing and the first game in this jam that i played multiple times.

It bothers a bit that you can't take over enemies when your own ghost is in the way and the scare mechanic is pretty much useless, to be honest, I feel like this mechanics isn't doing anything.

But still an excellent game idea.

I'm glad you had a blast! Both mechanic are implement using raycast, which is probably not the best solution, since you need see enemy. Next time I think about it! Thanks!

Nice puzzle game! I wish it was easier to see the entire map and plan out what to do rather than so much trial and error.

Glad you liked it. I would say that apart of labyrinth level you can scout ahead in fast ghost form, and then make your choice. But level design is 100% something that could be improved a lot. Basically apart from two levels which I feel are really good, the rest should be remade to be clearer and more interesting.

Really well polished! One thing I'd note is that it looks a bit off how you always face to the left if you're not walking, you should keep the position you last were in. And in the first non-tutorial level it felt a little clunky, where it was hard to get each of the monsters without others killing you too fast. But good job!

Thanks for the feedback, you are totally right!  Level design really needs some tweaking, it's far from perfect. Hope you had good time anyway!

Fun take on the theme.

The game took a while for me to get the hang of, however as soon as I was able to , the game became pretty entertaining. Overall the visuals are amazing and the core gameplay is pretty solid!

Cool game! Took a little to figure things out but it was fun to play and overall just well-executed. I think someone mentioned this but after you reset the screen goes wild for a few seconds but maybe that's an intended mechanic haha. Great job!

Developer

Thank you! It seems to be bug in the browser build :(

Really cool game ! The screenshake goes crazy when I try the html version but the desktop version works well.

Developer

It's true. I don't know why, had no time to figure it out. Glad you enjoyed it anyway. 

Submitted

I understand, we didn't have much time ! I had a similar problem with my game and ended up not uploading the html version.

Developer

Yeah, I thought I fixed it at the last minute, but it doesn't seem to, so I made it inaccessible.

Developer

And congrats on finishing whole story :) !
