Simple game with with a fun style and play

Submitted(+1)

Very cute <3 I enjoyed it but many ghost get stack behind walls maybe pathfinding needs to be improved for them ;) Either way, well done <3

Developer(+1)

Yes, the ghost AI needs an upgrade. Thanks a lot for  playing and commenting :)

I loved the cute visuals, the post proccesing was awesome! Sounds we're nice. I liked the game a lot, but it was easy to get stuck on walls which could make the game frustrating, but still, good job! :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the nice comment! I can understand the frustrating issue with the walls. Sadly, there wasn't enough time for testing and bug-fixing.

Submitted

You're welcome! :D

Hi there! I really love the graphic, the colors and the little ghosts! I was a little bit weird but also fun to be smashed on the wall by the group of happy friends! :D

Developer

Thank you very much for playing and providing feedback :)

Submitted(+1)

Good visual effects and sfx! I got smushed into the wall a few times because my ghosts loved me that much and I wasn't able to continue the game. Also after losing a ghost and having the Game Over UI on screen I was able to just continue playing, doors opening and everything, but I also got crushed by ghosts during that run :D

Thanks a lot for playing! Didn't had enough time for testing and bug-fixes. But you are correct about the ghosts, they love you very much :D

Submitted(+1)

Quite simple but the visuals really fit the game!

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

Like a few other folks I found that the other ghosts huddled me into an object. It's a cool concept though - love the colour scheme and the music is spot on!

Nice Game !

Developer

Thank you :D

Submitted(+2)

Presentation-wise this game is great!  The concept is also fun :D Unfortunately I got stuck up against walls or forced into the red boxes a lot by the ghosts...  Since they're ghosts I think you could get away with them not being solid objects?  Also an interesting choice giving them footsteps XD

Submitted (1 edit) (+2)

I suppose ghosts just move towards the player and only their colliders stop them from overlapping

Developer(+1)

Yes you are correct! Removing the colliders will make them stack on top of each other. The main problem is the basic AI, it needs improving.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!  Good point about giving the ghosts footsteps :D

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea. Keeping all the ghosts safe is a nice concept. Hoped the ai would do a bit more. Was getting stuck in corners by the ghosts intentional? Pretty good overall

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The AI is pretty basic, it just chases the player around. I could have made it a little better, but as you know time was very limited. It wasn't intentional to keep the player getting stuck in the corners :(

Submitted(+1)

A good concept with some nice, clean art. The controls were smooth and the gameplay was straightforward and intuitive, but I often got stuck in a corner or against a wall by the ghosts that were following me and had to restart.

Developer

Thank you for playing and providing feedback!  Yes, getting stuck in corners and against walls is a major problem in the game. I will probably improve it in the future.

Submitted(+2)

Bold colors, hard shadows and cute, little ghost as a contrast - this all together makes a great overall look - well done! The music tracks are also great (even if they are taken from a library, the right choice matters).

Oh, and let me share a screenshot ;-)  Before starting the game, I was reading your advice "Stay away from the corners!" and thought "Corners?! What's wrong with the corners?!" - 1 minute later: "Oh, now I know..." :-D


Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the kind words, much appreciated!

Submitted(+1)

The game was fun and looked pretty nice. only problem is sometimes the ghost friends would get you stuck on walls. other than that nice job!

Developer

Thank you for playing and providing feedback :)

Really good concept but weird AI

Gameplay:
The concept is really promising and well executed.  Controls are really smooth until there are too many ghost AIs following you. I assume coding of AI is only "follow the player" code. You can fix it by adding NavMeshAgent 2D unoffical plugin to Unity. You can find more details in web.

Sounds and Graphics:

I really liked the polish of the visuals. I really liked the shadows and lighting. It gives me Hotline Miami vibe.
Same for the sound effects, they are really good. But I think background music blocks other SFXs a bit. Like walking sounds, ghost (AI) picking.

UI:

UI is simple, working perfectly except Quit option on WebGl, I assume you forgot to remove it, but this is not a problem. Another little issue that I found there's no restart option. I just want to reload the scene, I don't want to go back to Main Menu and click another Play button. But as I said, it's not a problem.

Nitpicking, Glitches and Ideas for Improvement:

I read the comments and I don't want to go too deep but as you know there is critical glitch between horde of AIs and Player. It should need to be fix. 
Another idea for improvement is you can add counter to doors. Like 7/11 AIs picked. So I can understand should I go back and search a room one more time or should I try to bump into the door.

Overall: 6/10

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback. All valid points, they will help to  improve my future projects. Also, I have played and rated your game :)

Submitted(+1)

I like the visuals, they are very nice.  I also like the whole "find all your friends before you can leave" concept, although said friends were a little too clingy and also pinned me to the wall.  xD  Definitely a nice little game.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing :)

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept :D
Maybe you can include a downloadable version next time so it doesn't get so laggy.
Apart from the player getting stuck on walls because of the ghosts, I encountered no bugs.
The sound and visuals are on point, great work! 

Developer

Thanks a lot for the nice comment :) 

I did include a downloadable file for Windows. It should be visible just above the comment section.

Submitted

oh, yeah sorry xD I didn't see it

Submitted(+1)

the ghosts pinned me into the wall :(

Developer

Yep, that is a problem. You have to stay away from the walls.

Thanks for playing.

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept, although unfortunately too buggy to be able to complete easily.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. Apart from the player getting stuck on the walls, did you find any other bugs? I'm curious because it should not be too hard to finish.

Submitted(+1)

I like it, only issue is that I wish there was a dedicated restart key for when you get trapped by ghosts, or if it automatically killed you instead of having to restart the mission manually. ^^

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and providing feedback. There was a restart button in the early versions of the game. But I had to remove it due to a bug caused by restarting. Didn't had enough time for bug fixing :(

Submitted(+1)

I don't know if it was part of the gameplay, but I kept getting stuck by being pushed into the walls by the other ghosts. And then had to exit out and restart. But nice and simplistic, not bad.

Developer(+1)

It was not an intentional part of the gameplay. Basically the ghosts are programmed to chase the player character regardless of where it is.  Which makes it difficult to play near the walls and corners. You have to stay away from the walls to complete the game. But thank you for playing!
