This is really good! It's a smart idea and very well executed. The art style is great and the ghost is very cute with it's facial expressions. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. Great job!

All 5 Stars. Looks perfect, Movement feels slightly sluggish but that part of the game since there is a giant ball holding you back. The music and sound design is flawless. Just amazing game. One issue is that the controls appear at the end of the game, but that is the only one I found. Overall amazing game very polished phenomenal job.

Poor Choices Game Jam EditionStunning mechanic that blends a puzzle game and platform in something unique. Audio and graphic design are awesome also. But I have to say that I find it a bit too hard and I got stuck for too long before managing to properly solve rooms enigmas (probably because I fucking suck at puzzle games lol).

Spooknight: starve your monstersThis game looks amazing. Especialy the ghost.
And the idea with the trapped ghost is cool too.
I really like your game and enjoyed playing it

Ghosthunter MansionI liked the mechanic, it's kind of a co-op game where you control both avatars!
Some elements weren't obvious or didn't stand out well over background, but I figured out after a while.
It seems like the mechanic, while good, is a bit limiting, so you had to add those jumpers, which I hated, because they are hard to use. But since the game is short, it was an enjoyable experience overall. :)
Yeah it's an tricky mechanic to make puzzles for... the jumpers (and many other aspects) definitely needs tweaking! Pretty hard to balance the difficulty, since the puzzles are not that hard when you're the designer 😄. But I get it, there's some subtle aiming you gotta figure out to solve the puzzles.
Thanks for the feedback!
I love the idea with the puzzles, which is great, however most of the background tiles(the background) are glitching, is that intentional?
Also I can't seem to pass the 2nd puzzle and I'm not in full understanding of this games mechanics.
Also also, what should lift higher, the rock, or the soul? Because sometimes the soul is higher, sometimes, the rock is higher.

The Box ParadoxThe gameplay video on the game page shows the intended look. The glitch may be due to a bug in Godot. 🤔 Is it very bad? There's an issue in the godot bug tracker, but they seem to be putting it off until v4.0 with the new Vulcan back end next year 😭
What do you mean "lift higher"? You control the ghost and pull on the ball with the chain. The ball can end up above the ghost but is usually what weights down the ghost.
Nice. Game looks polished. Visuals, gameplay... It's amazing.But i think you should improve the game page and add a browser playable version of it. Also i would appreciate it if you could play and rate my game.

Not Spooky At AllI would love to try this game out if it was on a HTML browser! I only run Mac at the moment.

Horrifying NightmaresI knew when I saw this on twitter it was going to be one of the first games I checked out, and it definitely wasn't a let down!
I love the lighting effects and and general atmosphere of the game. I wish mr ghost and his ball all the best in this jam!

A Spooky 2D EscapeThis game is so cute!! I had similar issues as other commenters with the physics-based puzzles. I think some kind of indication like a background effect for areas where the ball gravity behaves differently would be helpful. Otherwise, a great experience and spot on with the theme!

EVPFantastic! The mechanic and concept is innovative and fits the theme really well! Music is nice, however the sound effects became a bit annoying after a while. Graphics are cut and feels totally spot on in terms of style!

Derelict (Spooky 2D jam 2020)Great game! There's definitely a lot of potential with this mechanic. (also the ghost is adorable)
Submitted
Time Of MonstersFun game! visuals look great! And a great concept for gameplay! A couple small problems are you can see the grey background outside of the wall background and the third puzzle was pretty hard due to the physics in the game. Otherwise a great game.
