What a fun puzzle game! Enjoyed having to manage the character's respective resources and then having to switch between. It's a very cool mechanic! The visuals are well done and the colour palette even switches slightly to match the current character. The audio also sounds nice and fits in with the game.

Solid game 👍

oooo this is really fun mechanic, was a bit confused at first but wasnt hard to pick up the mechanics!

Submitted

I really liked the puzzle mechanic, I think this concept deserves more time to create cool levels!

Submitted

Enjoyable puzzles! Would have loved to see more
Was there a point to the treasure chest on level 2 that I was missing?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Currently the chests are just decoration. Maybe in later versions they contain some trinkets or keys or something.

Gotcha! If you'd like to watch me bumble through your submission, here's the VOD https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2263555539?t=4h11m18s
Yours was one of the last few I played for the stream, I think I've got you timestamped around hour 4

thanks for the feedback. I already incorporated a different ghost design (with no “butthole” - it was actually ment to be a stubby tail…but 16x16 pixel is tough :-)

These 2 levels are interesting ! cute pixel art, and good music !
I 'm curious for more content ! Good entry :)

Submitted

Great puzzle setup and I'm looking forward to more content. Great job!

Submitted

Very cool puzzle game, switching between characters with different abilities is great! I hope you’ll do more levels after the jam.

Submitted

Interesting puzzle here! I like this project, but it feels a little unfinished. I feel like two levels and only one music theme is too little content for this game. Maybe consider making a post-jam content update? 
In any case - great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing. I’m glad you liked it. yes, you’re right. it’s a bit meager ;-) I plan to add more content later.

Submitted

I played your game live on  stream, heres the vod if you like to watch

Very creative idea! You should keep on working on it after de jam is over and make it a full game. Good job!

Submitted

Very interesting gameplay!

Submitted

too bad you couldnt complete more levels, I like the concept

Submitted

Really great game, looking forward to more levels! Well done!

Submitted

Cute game, the mechanics are simple but good. I'd like more levels.

Submitted

The music is chill and spooky-- very fitting for the relaxing nature of the puzzle gameplay. I like the 2 levels that are finished; they were satisfying to solve. The mechanics are great, and the art is cute!

I enjoyed playing! Good work!

Submitted

It might be brief at this stage, the gameplay mechanics are there, and they are pretty good! Well done!

Developer(+1)

thanks. we plan to add more levels… (and a 3rd character, Frank)

Submitted

super cute and simple game ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

Submitted: Frankenstein Reborn

Submitted

This was great! I loved the art direction for the game everything was cute in the lovable Halloween way! I also really liked the mechanics and character switching, i think its a great basis for more if you continue after the jam.

Developer

thank you for playing. yes, I probably add more levels and even another character. I already have designed it, but I was short of time to add it to the level.

Submitted

Very neat concept. The ghost design is cute too. Great game!

Submitted

Cute game, I like the puzzle mechanics. But the textboxes goes away a bit too fast I think.

Developer(+1)

thank you. yes, the entire “hinting system” needs to be refined. I didn’t want to make it modal/blocking, as it disrupts the game flow. also, since there is so little space, it covers a large portion of the screen… which is also not so cool. alternatively, I could place the text directly on the ground… well, you see :-) many choices.
