I like the cute art style and the audio is on point! The controls took a bit to get used to and the flashlight looked a bit buggy but overall good game!

Cute game :-) My human house owner was very suspicious and caught me all too often - even though I just wanted to help him :-/ Life of a ghost isn't easy....

Developer

Thank you ^^ The problem is that this ghost likes to tidy up with the radio on ...

👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂 (ça c'est pour la musique, ben oui, quand même j'avais envie ✊🙂)

Pour le jeu (dsl, j'écris en français...) j'aime bcp l'idée et l'atmosphère.  Fan des jeux d'arcade since ... (bien longtemps), je m'y retrouve assez. J'ai un peu galéré avec la barre d'espace mais ça y est, "on" m'a expliqué : faut appuyer plusieurs fois.

En résumé : good musique, good concept, good design. Good luck (du coup).

Nice concept, the ghost is hard to move at first try but it's fun !

Developer

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :)

I agree, improving the ghost controls should be on top of the list if we do some polishing after the voting ends ^^

I really like the concept of this one.  I did experience some clipping, and I think the ghost is a bit hard to control, but otherwise a fun little game.

Developer

Thank you very much, very happy to hear you liked it !

I agree, the ghost controls should be improved if we take some time to do polishing (after the vote ends, of course). It is noted, thank you :)

Cute! I like the art a lot :D

Before I rate, I'm not sure how to play and couldn't find any written info. If possible, please add in the description and I'll try again :)

I know to avoid the human, and if I press 'E' I pick up items and can place them back down, but I don't know what to do after that. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious!

Update:

This was a lot of fun! The menu song and victory song were both great--would love to have another jam during main gameplay!

Once I understood how things worked, I found the core gameplay loop engaging! I probably wouldn't have noticed that the radio and washing machine were waking the human up if I hadn't read it. The visual cues are there, but a super noticeable audio cue or something might be nice. Same with damage from the light--a visual cue might be nice. But prioritizing the game loop first was the way to go and I had a great time playing it!

Hi, thank you for your comment! We just corrected that in the description. Good luck :)

Hello SlyPuffin !

Thank you for your feedback, we could fix the description so that the controls are explicit now !

In order to finish the game, you need to find all the objects that need to be put in their place, and then the Winning screen appears. A feature that could be added for future improvements could be some sort of UI indication of how many objects are left. A counter, or a completion bar. It is noted, thank you <3
