The game can use more polish but overall it was fun to play and the core mechanic is engaging. I could't figure out how teleport (c key) supposed to work, but it did not stop me from beating the game. Also, artwork is cute! =)

Developer

Thank you for playing our game!!The teleportation requires you to collect 3 fragments to unlock it. After pressing Z, you can use C to teleport to the position of your ghost.

Liked the visuals a lot here and while the platforming here felt a bit clunky, I enjoyed using the ghost mechanic to look ahead for traps and further platforms and teleport to the ghost position.

Developer(+1)

Really happy to hear that you're using the ghost to explore the scenes—that's exactly what we hoped players would do! 

Submitted

Sadly it feels very umpolished, and some of the traps feel unfair.
It's a shame because the artstyle is very cute!

Maybe with some more time you'd get a better game...

Developer

Yes, our team has never participated in a competition like this before. This is also our first game. Thank you for playing!

很可爱很美丽也很有意思的平台跳跃解密游戏!交互上有一些小优化点/bug(?),不过时间太紧迫机制又比较复杂可以理解~支持老师们!

Developer

嗯 是的 ,交互的范围设定的稍微小了一些。感谢你的支持!

支持一波,这个美术风格真不错。

Developer

非常高兴你能喜欢我们的美术

A really good game. It's challenging but not impossible.

I like the graphics. Great idea to have a ghost avatar to look around corners. The music was too repetitive and gets annoying if you play for a long time.  

The play game/quit game buttons were in Chinese characters, and I can't read them.

Some of the controls are unavailable. 

I would play more levels if they were available.

Developer

Thank you for your suggestion. We did forget to update the Chinese and English versions. 

The control is not broken, but our guidance was not good enough. You need to collect all the fragments in the first three levels to unlock all the abilities. The teleportation can be used to teleport to the ghost's position. 

Thank you for playing our game. We will fix these issues.

Super good art! Moving around is a bit weird though, like jumping into a wall. Also amazing music! Good job and keep up the great work guys!

Developer

Thank you for playing our game and for your suggestions!We will fix these issue!

Thank you for playing our game

Thanks for the like! Our program is going to wait for the end of the selection for this to be refined, thanks for playing! (I'm not very good at English and use a translator)

The art style is nice, but the movement itself felt a bit clunky - that is very low gravity and felt floaty. Good effort for a jam nonetheless!

Developer

Thank you for playing our game!

Developer

Thanks for the like! I also think our main character is cute >< (I'm not very good at English and used a translator)

absolutely phenomenal visuals (i am so in love with all the art in the game <3) i'd love to see how you develop this further (if you have plans on revisiting :3)!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! We'll keep improving the game:).

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the like! We'll follow up with an update! I hope you can play a more complete game >< The scenario part will be built better in the future, I didn't have time to finish it this time, the characters and the plot should be more complete as well! (I'm not very good at English, used a translator)

Submitted

no worries at all!! game jams are super hard because of the time limit, but i'm super excited to see how you all develop this ^^ <3

完全不用担心!!由于时间限制,游戏开发大赛真的很难,不过我超级期待看到你们的开发成果 ^^ <3

我也试过用翻译器了。希望这能帮到你!!

Game looked really cute. Loved the art, though the game felt clunky, and some of the controls didn't seem to be doing anything.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, but we’re kinda pressed for time, so we couldn’t guide you more. Unlocking skills is all about picking up the pieces along the way.

Developer

Thanks for the like! I wasn't able to do a good guide because of time, I will improve this later! >< Maybe I should add what the player needs to do in the guide... (I'm not very good at English and used a translator)
