If you fullscreen the window, the upscaling that is done by the engine anti-aliases the render, making it very blurry.
Additionally the Amazing Ghost text on the title screen seems to be drawn to the 320x288 upscaled window as if that was the screen size, rather than drawn to a 160x144 window and upscaled later. Once you enter the gameplay, though, everything is the right scale.
Taking corners is very unforgiving, and the moving enemies will get you if you get stuck even briefly on a corner, making for a frustrating experience. With some forgiveness on those corners, it becomes a fairly enjoyable little game. It combines the puzzle solving of figuring out where you can reach to open up another section with the reflexive play to avoid the moving enemies.
The controls on the page mentioned something about shooting black crystals? I didn't go particularly far, but I didn't seem to fire anything when pressing the specified key. I'm guessing that wasn't implemented in time for the jam?
This was a cute game with an interesting gameplay loop, getting the crystals to fill in their shapes was a neat idea!
Congrats for your entry!
This game puzzles are really simple, yet challenging and very enjoyable. I would have love to hear some music and sfxs. Also, I think that the movements are a little too much "pixel perfect", it could have been nice to let the player turn when they're close enough instead of when they're exactly at the right position.
Good design job here, congrats!
There is some snug trying to go into an intersection but it's not bad at all. Shooting seems that isn't implemented but I didn't miss it. I also found that there is a way to pass lvls. But gameplay wise the game offers a good challenge, without overdoing it. The boss at the end was hard as nails but still doable! A pretty good game, well done!
I like it! It is satisfying to see the pumpkins go flying when you complete the sector they are in. I would love to have some sound to go with it, and I can also skip levels by pressing N. Overall, nice game!
Thanks for the tip. I kept dying on the last phase of 1-8, and I had to use that cheat to finish the game lol. I like it when game jam games have built-in cheats like that. Intentional, or otherwise.
This is a really fun little game. I'm sure many might skip it because you cant play it in the browser but the puzzles are fun and the boss puzzle especially can be a little tricky and took me a couple tries. Definitely worth a download. Only thing that was missing was that I didnt hear any sound.
