I really liked the troll aspects of the game, but I did quite dislike how you could get softlocked so easily by not pushing a crate strong enough for example in level 2 or 3 it was. I couldn't get past the level with the 3 horizontal ghosts in the wide open area from top to middle and the vertical ghost at the bottom left with some useless button where spikes would appear when you go on it. I was thinking maybe I could lure ghosts with the ghost at the bottom left and then kill the other ghosts but that didn't really work and felt like it wasn't intended so I couldn't figure out in what order to do the ghosts to not get killed by one of the last two.
Still great fun!
Stand on the switch, on the left an the platform on the ground will move over and push the crate over the switch on the right for you.
I'm glad you found it fun. Troll games aren't for everyone.
I think I beat that level - at least a level with that mechanic - so it might be a later level than that where I was stuck. In the level I was stuck in there was a crate at the top right after very long vertical stairs spanning the whole right of the level. (and spikes above the crate just to troll people jumping over it without pushing it)
Oh, lol. That was my favorite troll idea. That's the last level.
so it's not beatable? bruh I was stuck in that last level for 20 minutes xD
it is beatable. You just have to push the crate past the switch, jump over it, then push it back.
I did that but it didn't help me kill both ghosts, one always got me, tried 2 times the bottom one and one time the top one first
The graphics and movement in the game gave me Spectrum vibes, nice little platformer. It took me a while to figure out the ghosts would only attack from behind, like the Boos from Super Mario, a visual cue for this would be helpful.
I like the challenge, but it’s disappointing to have to reset after falling in a pit that looks safe only to find out you can’t reach the ladder again. With more indication of the traps the game would feel more fair. As it is, I only made it about halfway through.
This game was really cool ! A little hard for me at the end, but with a bit of polish it could be a release on steam.
Great! I'm glad you were able to figure it out and not get stuck on the 1st level.
woah! very creative puzzles! i think i solved the last one a bit differently though
I'm glad you were able to figure it out. The last level probably has multiple ways to beat it, it was a (I'm running out of ideas and time) low effort design.
After I killed them all, I felt pretty good! Maybe 2 less ghosts to start with? Good entry Gary!
by "killed them all" you mean on all 7 levels?
Really liked it, pixel art was pretty good. But it was way to difficult for me, didn't even pass the 1st level 😅
I'm sorry, the first level was a "gate keeper" of sorts. The other levels were meant to be aggravating so it serves as a protection against those who probably won't want to deal with them.
