Fine platformer. Great hand drawn art style. At first I didn't realize you could do wall jump. Once I did, I was able to save Christmas :)

Fun game! I agree with what has already been said, there's just one thing I would like to add. The "footsteps" were WAY too loud. At first I thought it was something shooting or attacking in some way. I would highly recommend next time you make them much quieter. Other than that, though, good job!

I just found out (realized...was told....) that you don't have to hit the main page to get the game.  So the controls listed there aren't any help. 

So, from the game's main page:

Use the arrow keys or wasd (really only the left and right arrows and the a and d keys) to move.

Use space to jump.

Or use a joystick.

Wall jumping is possible, and necessary!

You can practice your moves on the menu screen.

Enjoy!

It took me a bit to figure out wall jumping was an option, but the idea is fun. The hitbox with the ghost is sometimes a bit unforgiving, but that's okay for a jam game ;)

Ah yes, I put on the game's main page that there is wall jumping and it is necessary.  Sorry.  I didn't realize that the Jam would  have a cover page.    I should post a comment about that here.

I was very forgiving with all the hit boxes, you've been playing too much Levelhead or something if you think my hit boxes are too forgiving!  ;)

Haha fair point

I like the lighting on the main character elf and the environment, looks great!  My game has elves and ghosts too haha.  Check it out, it's called 'Puma Cat~'

Developer

I really enjoyed your game.  Your ghosts are way less forgiving than mine.

Nice job! Those gaps in the dark are my nemesis! :-)

Sometimes there are goodies hidden in the dark little gaps... just saying.....
