The visuals are really nice, I like it a lot! I wish it was animated but I know it’s a game jam and a one-person job so congrats on that!

I think it misses some simple audio effects and a little zen type music to fill the atmosphere of your narrative. I also noticed that the difficulty wasn’t increasing very much, I was at 200 points but the pattern and frequency of ghosts were still the same to me so it was a bit boring at some point. Maybe you could reinforce the “survival” aspect of your game by increasing the scaling of difficulty exponentially so that the high score becomes more interesting for players!

Overall, great game, keep it up! :)

Thank you so much for your feedback!

I struggled with the randomness generation of enemies. It should increase as you score...but the result is not good 🥲

I like the game idea, so hopefully I'll bring some updates after the Jam!

I like the art a lot! I admire the fact that the game is intuitive enough to figure out how to play without any instructions. I do think a little more direction would be nice, or a little more of a win state.

I understand not having instructions in the game.. sometimes the deadline comes too fast. But why not put some description or instructions on the itch.io page itself? On my second attempt, I figured out that I stand in the middle and click the mouse on ghosts who arrive. I should click on them as soon as I see them before they get a chance to break through my defences. If they get to me, it's game over. Highest score: 44. I don't know if there's a win-condition.

The art is nice. I liked the little whirlwind sprite for keeping the ghosts away. With a bit of audio and some instructions, and maybe a goal, it could be a pretty good game.

Many thanks for your feedback!

I had lots of issues to upload the game on time, and got so stressed I just focussed on having it just available.

No instructions, no sound, no goal, no real randomness... A lot to improve 🙂
