I loved the sprite art in this game, everything was really clean and the controls were tight. A lot of the gameplay was just waiting so it got a bit tedious towards the end, but I liked all the art. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Very nice looking game with smooth controls. I wished there was some audio, at least some chill background music. The gameplay itself got a bit boring after a while, because it was basically just periodically waiting. But honestly, for your first game, it was a pretty solid experience!

Cool idea! I liked the transitions. It did get a bit repetitive though, and a lot of the game was just waiting for the spikes to disappear. Also perhaps some sound effects could have added to the experience.

Cool small game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Nice and cute little game ! I think I would have loved it more if the ghost was a little bit faster (as well as the traps to keep things even) Congratz !

Short and sweet. Cute Sprite and solid use of the tileset. I enjoyed it.

Developer

Thank you!

Congratulations on your first wild jam submission! Some sound effects and music would have helped a lot though and I wish there was more variation in the level design, maybe another trap mechanic since it felt quite repetitive.

Thanks for playing. I thought about adding different mechanics to the game but I didn't want to take a risk and make something unfinished due to the limited time.

Clean game, the art and level design was nice even though simple. Just a shame that there was no sound.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I didn't have enough time to add sound effects.

Nice little game. Pretty good for a first time game jam.  Good work!

Developer

Thank you!

Very good looking! I like the game but a few things I would do: I noticed on I think the first level I died after I collected the thing, and didn't make it back past the obstacles, but I still kept the thingy.  Sorry for bad grammar.  Also sound would add to the spooky effect I think.  Overall very impressive and better than I could do .  

Developer

Thank you for playing! I didn't want to make the game too hard so that's why the "thing" stays in the inventory after you die. I also didn't have enough time to implement sound. Thanks again for playing!
