Really nice game. Feels like a GameBoy title and has nice graphics. Missing SFX are a bummer, especially as even if music is quite time consuming, adding simple sounds from sfxr is fast and adds so much to the game. This was, by coincidence, the second game in a row that has no sound at all and I spent some minutes trying to figure out whats wrong with my computer :D

The gameplay is solid, no experiments but straightforward platforming in a well implemented way. Some way of avoiding instant damage when exiting a door, especially when you can't check if its clear before, would be nice. I'd have loved to see another level or two, as the game is finished rather fast.

I don't quite see the connection between the title and the game itself, I suppose there was some kind of background story planned that didn't make it into the product.

Footnote: There's either some big slipup in your title screen or theres a joke I missed, but you wrote "My Neibor Hounted House" which should probably read "My Neighbor Haunted House". Could of course be a "pet sematary" reference but that's far fetched :P

Edit: I realized you fixed one part of the title in your screenshots but not in game, probably to not change the uploaded file during rating.

Please consider adding a bit of invincibility time when exiting from a door, I got hit by a zombie a couple times and couldn't avoid it. Really solid entry.

Nice job! Can we open the chest somehow? I tried pressing all the buttons and also some shooting to get it to open, but I couldn’t get the treasure. :´)

Nice level design and art, I had fun playing this. Would have loved some SFX and music, but still good job!

Great job! I liked the art style, it was very Gameboy-like.

The graphics are great on this one. The gameplay is solid as well. The main downside is the lack of music & SFX. I also suggest adding a coyote timer to the jump.
