I love how ghost aggro works in this game; the fact that if they're confident they saw you they won't stop? Great mechanic.
Music was very tense as well. Very well done. Also love the classic Pico-8 art style.
I'm not the best at maze games (dare I say I'm horrible), so I constantly died, but that doesn't mean I can't see there was a lot of effort put into this game. I would even say I had fun!
I'm wondering if you meant to make subtle references to Pac-Man (yellow player character in a maze game about avoiding ghosts). I could be looking way too deep into things, but if you did, nice touch!
This was the first game I played for the jam, but I'm off to a great first impression.
Solid job!
