Loved the art  style and overall vibes! Not sure what the lose condition was, so I did not really enjoy the game, but it could be fun if I knew why I was failing.

Absolutely loved the vibes of this game! The music was especially fantastic and really set the mood. Great job!

Thanks!!

Cool game! Was a little confused at first but overall solid work.

Developer

Thanks!! What were you confused by if you dont mind me asking?

Cool concept, though I didn't know how to jump or dash.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! Press space or w to jump and shift to dash. Also the web version is very buggy sodownload one of the executables.

Didn't quite grasp the scoring and took several runs to stop losing immediately, but eventually reached about ~300 before I lost. The extra movement options and upgrades added a lot, although upgrades seemed to stop generating somewhere after 100. Neat stuff!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't know about this bug. It should be fixed by the next update.

I like the atmosphere, very good game

Developer

Thanks!!

Hey there! I noticed you added powerups and even a dash ability and full screen clear. Wow I didn't expect that much changes since I last played.

I already commented before on all the other things I liked like the background choice, and the smiling reaper, so I think you're already aware.

Great job!

Heya! Thanks man! Means a lot to me. I got a lot of ideas from you and other people and I'm really proud of how they came out.

Glad I could help! :)

Fun game, the movement felt really nice and I liked the upgrade options. I think it would be cool if the ghosts spawned more often over time and eventually they appear too fast to keep up with. Right now the game doesn't get any harder, it just gets easier with upgrades.

reaper is cute - love the juxtaposition between the detailed background and reaper

Developer

Thanks. I just checked out your game. We have similar themes lol.

Submitted

cool can you try mine https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-13/rate/3348291

I found the movement super satisfying to use, especially the way the acceleration is handled when sprinting! The sound effect added a lot to the satisfaction of collection, adding a little animation on collecting would help with the satisfaction a lot too :)


Great Job!

Developer

Thanks for playing. Glad you enjoyed it!!! I plan on adding that after adding power-up options. Thanks for the feedback!!!
