I love the idea of the creepy game coming back from the past. I'm definitely going to give this some love after the submission period: I need to help Hyphen know who she is!
Also I died ALOT in the 2nd level, so much so that the game lost faith in me

i watched the vod of you playing and the fact you got one of the two creepy version of the hints early on was kind of sad... made me realize i shouldve made them a lot more sparse, at least early on, because the early hints are actually meant to be useful; you can learn how to bat projectiles away from them and i THINK theres a hint about how to get the true ending. the game didnt lose faith in you - part of the gameboy soul to me has always been games that were tweaked just a little bit too hard, similar to like nes games being like a little bit too unforgiving - and the empty hint twice in a row is also a haunted game effect, not the game running out of hints lol. also, as for the hints, i shouldve made it maybe clearer that theyre meant to be hints for secret collectables that tie into the haunted-ness of the game. i kinda wrote them 2-3 hours before i submitted the project so they're maybe not the best. you need four at the minimum and there are 6 total to get. the second level also isnt the worst that it gets in terms of unforgiving platforming - i believe 3-1 is the level most people have had grief with so far. hope you enjoy the game if you do pick it up after the jam is done and thanks for the play and rating!
Oh no! I don't have the screenshot!
When I said the game lost faith in me, it was when the Tip screen came back blank. It just said "Tip: _______"
Not sure if intentional but it gave me a chuckle. I'm definitely going to give it another go. Or if you ever do a walkthrough, video guide of all the secrets, let me know?
