Cool game! I liked that I could see my progress for each chain being removed, it made me want to finish the game. I really liked that the game was short, it's perfect for a game jam game because I'm guessing most people want to play many different games during a game jam, and I think that many people don't finish many of the games because they are a bit too long or too hard, but this one was perfect! Good job :D
Great, I'm glad you liked it! I was aiming for a short game for exactly those reasons so I'm glad that worked out. Maybe this ghost's next step in the journey is a certain food stall?
Nice game! I think you should have kept the little E thingies on the switches in the later levels because it helps the player to determine what they can and cannot interact with, cool music and I think this really adhered to the theme. I really do think the chains weighing you down is a cool concept but wouldn't a ghost be able to phase through the ground? Also I think you should be able to jump inside of some objects to make the platforming easier, like the ladder in the beginning.
Thanks for letting me know! I was torn about the E thingies on the 3rd stage and just thought I would turn them off, but since the game is quite short I might have well just left them on. Will do next time! Let's say the chains keep you from phasing through the ground? Who knows about ghost rules...
A polished and fun game With a lot of creativity. I would change the collisions a bit to make it clearer what to step on. Good Work!!
Thank you! I agree about the collisions, I think the ladder is (unintentionally) the hardest part haha
Fun game! Quite satisfying completing the different chores. Nice cute ghost.
Hey thanks for playing!
This is a surprisingly complete and satisfying to play game for a jam game! And it would be even better with something to indicate that the jump difficulty at the beginning is intentional, since it only becomes clear at the end of the second level (at least, that's when I noticed that mechanic).
Yep totally agree, the idea is that as you're not weighed down by the things you have left to do, you're also literally weighed down less so you can move faster and jump higher. Definitely something to think about, thanks for playing!
cool game.
rate4rate?
Thanks for playing!
