This was quite fun and unexpected. One second you're doing great the other you're screaming for help lol. Lots of challenge, great music and nice art. Thanks for open-sourcing, too.

Developer

Thanks a lot hahaha! I feel like the later levels were a bit too difficult, but glad you enjoyed. It was the first time I dealt with pixel art, so I'm happy that you liked it

This is a really clever game! I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected I would. It's really addictive. Great difficulty curve as well. I like how this tests your reflexes as well as your memory of the level :) Really cool idea - I hope you develop it.

Developer

Thanks! That was one of the ideas, not being just a platformer, but also a puzzler. Appreciate the feedback!

This is a really cool idea!! The feedback loop of bumping into a ghost -> becoming more out of control -> bumping into more ghosts is really fun. The level design was great too, the moment I figured out that I needed to time my jumps was really satisfying. One thing that caught me off guard at first was the heartrate slowing down and messing up the timing of my jumps, but once you get used to it it's a really fun extra challenge.

Really enjoyed this and I definitely want to keep coming back until I manage to get to the end!

Hey, thanks a lot! There were a few more mechanics that I wanted to add, but glad you enjoyed =D

Pretty hardcore man, those ghosts don't mess around. It was good fun. Not sure if I'm bad or if some spots required you to wait for the next heartbeat while praying the ghost doesn't eat you lol

Thanks a bunch hahaha! There's definitely some more balancing that I could've done, so thanks for the feedback =D
