Oh man I died 104 times yet i finished it! It was fun lol

Developer

Haha! Congratulations. Glad you think it's fun.

Submitted

Pretty good. I think the music is fitting and the level design is good, although I feel like they would be more fun without the ghost, especially the level before the last, where I constantly got cought at the start. Also the control scheme is a little annoying, because you often input the wrong direction or click off screen. But overall pretty good.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for your kind words!

Submitted

Nice to see a fellow Gdeveloper! Had so much fun playing this... still was not able to beat the hard level. Great job

Developer (1 edit)

Hehe, yeah I think I made the game a little too hard.

Submitted

It’s a good game, but it’s a bit difficult to play, especially when turning. It feels like there is a delay. Maybe you can reduce the inertia a bit. And the music is good

Developer

ok... Thank you!

Submitted

It took 124 deaths but I beat the hard level! Great job, I was determined to finish and although it took me a little bit to get the hang of the controls it ended up being not too bad after a level or two. I would agree with some of the comments below to add maybe LMB/RMB to move left and right rather than clicking on the side of the screen, or at least showing somehow which direction you'd be moving in based on where your mouse is. However, I did like that because of the limitation, rather than give your character a bunch of different moves you incorporated the different mechanics into the level directly.

Nice work!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you very much!!! Your game is really nice too.

Submitted(+1)

Fun game, i would suggest using RMB to move right and LMB to move left instead of screen side, it would me much simpler and while playing i noticed that sometimes, even tho my cursor is definitley on the right side of screen, it goes left and same for the right. Other than that, only some polishing and less difficulty. Great Work !

Developer(+1)

I know the problem but it's very hard to fix. I'm pretty sure it happened to you when the camera starts following the player. Because I implemented the idea means mean there are two sprites, one to the left on two the right. But when you're (for example) on the VERY right side of the screen, only the right sprite appear on your side! So I had to think of a smart way to fix it for all the bugs!

Nice little game !

I didn't find the last level too difficult. It was actually the most fun of all of them and would have enjoyed to play more like that one.
The level with the pushable box was actually way harder as the ghost was very fast & the flag placement just after the ledge made it very hard to get it right)
The controls were also a bit tedious and sometimes if felt like it didn't register the correct direction.
(but it dind't stop me from completing it) maybe using left click and right click would have been a more enjoyable control pattern.

All in all its a neat little entry. good job :)

Developer

Ahem.. Yeah.. I actually wanted this to be a rage game, but it seems the controls are too hard still.

Submitted(+1)

Good game, the last level however was simpler than most of the other levels and also more fun just because it was less pixel perfect and less "guided" like the other levels.
The musics were great, I would have liked to have some sound effect.
To go further, I would say that it lacks some particle or special effect to make the game more "alive".

Developer

Ok then! Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

I managed to get through a couple of levels but this was incredibly difficult because of how the controls work.   Really neat concept, but needed some more visual cues as to when you would be moving left or right.  

Nice work though!

Developer

THANKS ALOT!

Really beautiful game. The levels was really hard but I could finish all of them:) In level 3 (I think), theme music stopped after a while. I don't know it's a bug or my browser problem but it will be awesome to fixing that after the jam.

I really like your game!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted

The game was quite fun to play at first, although the difficulty ramped up a bit. Maybe polishing the game a little bit and adjusting the difficulty would make it better. In all, fun game!

Developer (1 edit)

It is actually supposed to be like that! It's rage game. But thank you anyway

Submitted

Oh I see, I didn't quite get that.

Submitted(+1)

I didn't expect to have fun but honestly i enjoyed your game, especially the difficulty. Your levels are quite well built and i never felt lost, so it's a good point ! I would just recommend to pimp up your graphics a bit with particles or animations, and also make the game a bit more clear like having marks to tell where the ghost is, or where to click to move (i died a lot because of that last point xD)

It's a good starting point in my opinion so keep it up !

Developer

Thank you! I would to try to make it better.

Also, btw, did you try the bonus level?

Submitted

Yes, absolutely ! Even both bonus levels actually, and even they were a bit more difficult than the first ones, it was not overwhelming. By the way it reminds me that there is a bug in the last bonus level, the first spawn brings you very close to the finish, just so you know

Developer(+1)

(Yes.. But I was too lazy to fix it..)

Submitted

Relatable xD

Submitted(+1)

Cool entry! The difficult picks up quite a bit, it's quite tough already from level 3 as the ghost catches up very quickly. Maybe having some difficulty settings with different ghost speeds would be nice (just an idea!). Graphics are OK and music is neat.

Developer

Thank you! You feedback is very much appreciated.
