How does the game fit the theme?
You decided to explore your school's basement, what could go wrong?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used addons to create dialogues and help me with sound management. Start menu music is a track I made a long time ago.
How many people worked on the game?1

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream if you wanted to look at it again in the future heres the vod timestamped to your game
Thank you for playing it! And the stream was really fun to watch :D
Loved the artsytle and palette, very beautiful!
I think that the enemies could have some sort of animation when they are going to attack, maybe pulling back before doing so or something like that. Also there is no reason to fight them.
A really unique game with a nice story. The visuals are simple and neat. The Sound Design and the effects are also good. Overall a great game. Keep up the Good Work.
Lovely little game. Well made top down adventure. I wish the npc's could be interacted with and what is with K&L for input keys. Very well done, good visuals, clean execution and chilled sounds to make a well rounded game. GG.
Thank you! Actually you can interact with NPCs, since it's the point of the game, so it's weird you couldn't... Did you try the interact buttons?
Unless It was on E or F I don't think I hit that key no. I'll be nice and go back for another play after I have gotten through the other 20 games on the list. Still, a great effort and well made.
Yeah I didn't put the interact keys at the start, gotta fix that x)
But you can check the itch page description to see all controls available
Yeah I did take a look just now. Some strange key selections but that's just me opinion. Sure you have your reasons. Cheers.
cool game loved the aesthetic, you can try mine if you want to Rate murphy's jump by snowcloudgames for Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1 - itch.io
Thanks! :D
cool game! i liked the color palette and all the little references
The dialogue and the story were both pretty good, I think you did a good job with the idea and the writing. I think the game mechanics could have been a little more developed though, there didn’t seem to be much point to fighting the ghosts, so potentially some rewards or incentive would be good to encourage the player to engage more with these mechanics rather than walking by them to advance the story. Very nice entry though, good job!
Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it, I'll try to design better the combat mechanics :D
Good game! I would suggest trying a pixel perfect renderer. It would probably look better with your style!
Thank you! By pixel perfect you meant the collisions?
No I mean a style of rendering. It is used in Celest for example. You can just look it up :)
Ohhh got it, thanks! I'll search it up :D
Game is very fun! It may be simple, but I love the dialogue!
the game is fun and the music is good
A really polished game. Great job!
It was a fun game! The graphics are cute and consistent, the background theme doesn't get old but I wish the ghost pal would have had more importance, maybe being a companion that helps the player or possesses the enemies. Anyhow, it's a great game. had a blast!
I'm glad you liked it, thank you! Actually I didn't plan having more powers, since attacking and dash are already things from your ghost pal, but I can think about it :)
The controls feel really smooth, and the enemies are actually a challenge. The pixel art is great, and I really loved the easter egg where you can enter the game. Great job! 🕸️
Fun game, very polished! Feels like a full indie game, well done!
jogo lindo demais mano! parabéns.
Muito obrigado mano! :D
What a lovely pixelart!! The Ghost is so friendly!! Nice work!
Amazing job as a solo developer! And thank you for the checkpoints XD!
the game looks and feels clean, gj
very nice lil game, neat art style and clean animations :)
very cool and looks like a complete game :) Unfortunately im bad at these things
I'm happy you enjoyed! And don't be so harsh to yourself, sometimes I'm bad at my own games lol
