The art was great and the music too. Looking forward to the updates!
That was fun! The art is proficient, the character design is charming, and the soundtrack is catchy. It was fun moving around as the ghost and scaring people off.
The lives system is a bit punishing; the levels are quite hard as-is without restarting from the beginning.
The audio balance is a bit off. The music is a very quiet compared to the sound effects, and the sound effects are a bit loud. The camera snap sound, in particular, is much louder than the other sound effects; it often peaked the volume above +0.0 dB!
All-in-all, good work!
Thank you for the feedback! We will definitely be rebalancing the sound and adjusting the game mechanics feel good and feel fair. Thanks again!
The ghost was soo cute! Smooth animations btw. The game felt kinda buggy sometimes, and it was hard to tell when did I scare someone, or why did I progress to the next level. The concept is great, I'd love to play a version 2.0! Good work :)
Thank you for the feedback and encouragement! We are working toward a 2.0 with smoothed out and improved gameplay, plus new additions and improvements. We're committed to this game in the long term.
cute game, I found the game really cute and also its story to want to scare the guard.
I invite you to play my game and give me some feedback as well ^^
I love the comic book inspired tutorial screen and all of your death/menu art. Very well done.
Thank you for the feedback! We welcome constructive criticism and suggestions too! We're looking to make this game as good as it can be in the long term.
Awesome Graphics! For some reason the game wouldn't work for me with a keyboard, but I found a controller and it worked!
I'm glad you were able to play it! Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the information about the controls. It may have detected a gamepad as gamepad has been overwriting the keyboard. There is a known bug or two there that should be fixed next update.
Nice game concept, with very cool graphic. The dropping down mechanic felt clunky but apart from that movement felt smooth :)
Thanks! We definitely have some things to iron out, including the drop down mechanic. I appreciate your feedback.
The art syle is really cool, especially the intro, but I had to refresh a couple of times because of the timeout on the tutorial. I'd suggest moving on at the press of a button. Also the gameplay was a little bit confusing, but overall the idea is nice
Yeah, we need to set it to a button press, for sure. We'll work on the UI too after the jam to make the gameplay more clear. Thank you for the feedback!
Goofy indeed!Awesome graphics as well!
Thank you for the compliment!
