Nice little game with a happy ghost. 

The game really needs some sound effects for when you are "booing" and getting damaged by lights.

I do like the different "boo" graphics that appear though. And I think I saw the the humans shaking a little bit, I saw the light slightly shaking side to side, it would be good if that effect was more pronounced.

They just disappear when you scare them too much, is that meant to happen?

Overall good work, you could do a lot more with this idea and it would be interesting to see what you come up with.

I like the concept and the ability to scream people to death. I would love to know how the currency of fear works in your world if you had the time. Super cool and very scury!

Nice concept, don’t see much stealth games with a wacky concept. I loved the hand-written boos, and the guard’s reactions. The controls were a bit too loose for me, I felt as if I needed a while to stop overshooting. All in all, good stuff!

Really fun concept. The guard shaking was very subtle and hard to see at first, but I like how the shaking increased as they got closer to dying. Aiming could be a bit tricky.

It's a fun little game. Great job!

Great concept for the game. Movement is a bit to hard to control with all the sprite rotating, so that made shooting 2x harder, lack of sound and music also made it less interactive and interesting.

I really liked how you could go through walls quite casually but the guards couldn't, the game kind of broke my expectations there. The projectiles your character shoots are really cute and is a unique staple of your game. Keep it up!

This was a fun little game. You have a great idea that was implement very simply and cleanly. I agree with the other people here. That you needed some feedback on when you are taking damage. Maybe your ghost could start to fade out as it gets more hurt. There could be a squiggly outline around the player when taking damage. I feel like you missed an opportunity to use some really good sounds you could have made yourself, like some funny "Boo!" or "Mahwahahahaha" lines. That would have really amped up the feel on this game.

I didn't understand what was "killing" me until the third time I played! Stealth and backstab guys!

Good job, I feel like all the main points were mentioned by other people, so with a little tweaking the game will be even better!

Clicking "Launch" on itch.io just opens the folder. (Win10)

sorry, I don't understand, which "launch" button?

Interesting game, I like the movement, but like others I feel there was an issue with not knowing if your are or aren't doing damage.


Otherwise awesome little game

It's a shame its only two levels, I had a great time scarying people! Very nice mechanic and lights (loved the shaking of fear of the guards :-)). Great entry!

Nice stealth game. I did find the controls a bit difficult. The ghost moved quite fast making precision movement difficult

Nice stealthy haunting game. Good Job!

The game concept was good, however, the UI text is too small and was difficult to read.
