How does you game fit the theme?
For three reasons:
-I have not working alone on this game.
-The mains characters are two brothers that they have to defend themselfs
-And they aren't alone because there are the ghosts inside the house
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No, i use the music from another creator and some sounds effect take from the internet.

Endearing little ghost game
Pros: cute art, fun premise, I like the music, cool concept overall
Cons: Movement is a little janky, the items sometimes spawn in walls, there doesn't appear to be a win condition even though there's a goal or if there is it's bugged, I often took damage while sucking up ghosts, is that child collecting cigarettes? Not sure if that's a con or not lmao
Overall really fun concept and could be a really nice chill game with som polish
No hahaha lol, they are ammos. Btw Thank you for the comment!
Ohhhhhhh! I see it now! That makes much more sense haha
Ah ha ! The Ghost Busters vibe is there !!
The music is awesome. The graphics are also incrediblely well painted! I love the controls where the bros are back to back.
However first the ghost is not affected by the lighting idk if its intended but the ghost looks really "not into" the atmosphere. Second, the gameplay started to get bored overtime. If more mechanics are made the game will be more fun. For example more guns could be made. Maybe a dash or slide mechanic. Also the vacuum cleaner is unplugged. You can improve the graphics by creating a line to "plug" the vacuum cleaner in order to charge instead of picking up energys xD just saying but over all a decent game. I would love to see it become a mini game with more mechanic, maps and hopefully multiplayer pvp .
Also nice intro. Your pixelart skills are god.
Ha! Brothers! Absolutely great gameplay mechanics. At the beginning I thought it's a local multiplayer. But it has a fine twist with this setup.
I love the music! Decent game overall!
Somehow I glitched out to the garden at the end however.
Nice Work. Please check mine, too. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1681109
I liked the intro, the menu, nice work on the presentation. The shooting mechanic is nice, I died pretty fast because I wasted energy trying to understand how to use the guns and found no extra energy around.
Yes, you aren't the only who said that, i think its a bug of the game, after all i'm a beginner. Btw Thank you for the comment!
haha two brothers, it's just called two brothers! Nah seriously this game was cute, not the first back-to-back shooter I've played in this jam, but love the ghost sucking apparatus and the pixel art! Great job!
Thank you!
Great game
Really good game! I liked the story. Good job!
Great game! Very Luigi's Mansion, I really liked the 2-character mechanics. nice work.
Fun Game! Good Job!
Cool concept and graphics, I liked the connection to the theme too. However, there were a few issues with sucking in ghosts sometimes causing damage. Also, I couldn't find enough recharge pickups to actually win, I'm not sure if this was intentional.
The challenge is to search them to charge your vacuum cleaner for kill ghosts. The mechanic is that when you kill a ghost, the collectables spawn randomly around the map, is your task to find them before you been killed, and yea maybe sometimes they spawn in points where you can go, but as i said there are a lot of bugs, that i couldn't fixed because im an actual beginner. I'm trying to learn every day and do my best, btw thank you for the comment.
Ah okay, I didn't know that the collectables spawned after killing ghosts. Also, bugs are pretty much inevitable given the nature of game jams. You did a great job as a beginner though!
Great take on the theme. I think this has been the most original take on your not alone thus far that I've seen. I love the effort put into the narrative. My largest gripe is that it seems to be unavoidable to take damage when sucking in ghosts, whether by design or not.
Yea when you try to sucking ghosts is a bug that i couldn't fix because i'm a beginner, i'm trying to learn more every day to make better games, and the mechanic of sucking ghost toke me a lot of time and also put me in a sea of bugs. Btw Thank you for the comment! Very appriciate!
Nice!
I loved the idea and execution of this game.
Lots of fun.
Thank you!
Great concept, well executed.
Though it took me a while to work out how to get the correct ammo to kill the ghosts.
Nice job!
Thank you!
