Pretty charming - who doesn’t like penguins?!

Absolutely loved this, the idea the killing an enemy turns it into a ghost was incredibly clever. The puzzle design was also nice, especially in the final level -- working out how to get the two penguins in sync was really fun. The art design was also fantastic. I'm sure you already had this in mind, but if you continue to work on this after the jam (which I hope you will!) it would be great to see levels with multiple penguins too!

This is a neat idea, not only swapping between worlds but, also controlling multiple characters, I quite like that you sometimes didn't want to possess another penguin and that killing an enemy sent it to the ghost world, the second one especially was pretty clever. All in all, it's a pretty polished and fun experience, well done!

Quite polished for the short time, well done :)

I like it. The art is fantastic, well made levels, and you play as a penguin that turns into a ghost, who wouldn't like that?

Fun mechanic and great level design.  Really nice and polished for a 48 hr game. Good job!

Cool concept! The game felt very complete and the level design was nice. It felt like it gradually got harder but it was cool to keep moving through the game and trying the harder puzzles. Sometimes when I was switching from ghost to real world, the penguin would get stuck in platforms. It was usually a quick fix, if I made myself ghost again it would go through the platform. Good job!

I loved the art, and the puzzles introduced the game mechanics really well :D

Fun game! Music was a bit loud, had to turn it down from browser. Beside that it was nice.
