This doesn't suck. This is fantastic. It has a vibe, there's a story, I love it. :D

The art was excellent. The concept was cool, but it reeling in killed my hand. I think if I had been playing with a controller it would have been better. I was only able to reel in the tiny fish, but the art made me want those other fish reel (!) bad. :D
Other than the difficulty of playing with a keyboard, this game was great. It's very polished. Well done!
I appreciated the tutorial with clear explanations for all the items. I really liked the spookimeter, too. I loved the ghost sprite and palette. You mentioned you stepped outside of your comfort zone with the sound. High five on that! IMO, game jams are all about learning new skills and stepping outside your comfort zone is how you do that. Nice job!
10/10 for the art and the concept. I liked how the girl was possessed after exorcising the demons. The screen flashing at the end of the battle hurt my brain a bit. Really liked the feel of the jumps. I was unable to use the checkpoints except for once when the platform pushed me below the ground. I also couldn't pick up the object to the left of the first checkpoint, after you jumped and the platforms. Even with the bugs, it's still cool. Nice job!
I think Jack had a bit too much candy, cause he seems to have quite the sugar rush going on. LOL. This was fun to play. You had a lot going on in a single level, though. I would have liked it if you had split it into smaller levels and gradually added on the complexity. Better skilled players will probably enjoy the rush right off the bat.
Really nice job on this, especially the sound effects. I was jumping on the orange thing just for the sound, LOL. Great job!
10/10 for the art. I've rated 37 games so far and this has been my favorite art I've seen. I enjoyed the game, my only complaint is the jump key was the same for entering doors. There was a room where a jump was right near the door and I kept going in the door instead of jumping. It was kinda frustrating. Other than that, the game was great.
