Very good tight and complete game! You nailed the theme and I can see a lot of effort was made in planning the pacing, level design, graphics, audio, etc. Well done! I completed it but only with the cheat. Got a little frustrated because of the player movement because it feels similar to like a Mario or Celeste but its slightly different. So maybe I'm just not used to it. The character either walked too fast or stopped abruptly where I didn't think it would stop. Jumping-wise, it hits its head on the ceiling and floats there for a second so I'm not sure what mechanic/purpose that's for. Lastly, I think the ending was anti-climatic. I was prepping for the ghost to be the final boss. It lied throughout the game so I figured it lied about not being the cause of my plight. So great game and I'd play this with my kids!

Ha, it's funny you saw the ghost that way. I always intended for him to be kind of an anti-hero, who might be devious but is really just lonely. In fact part of me wanted to explore him ultimately becoming part of a pair mechanic with the player but it proved too big a challenge for one week. Anyway thanks for playing and for your detailed thoughts!
