Cool game! Loved the assets for the ghost and the background! I think a small tutorial would be nice too! Also, I think the positioning of the progress bar of how much usage you have left for the mask could be better, too. Besides that, it's fun, and the music is also on point. Awesome work :)

First I was "wait, this is a Spike?? How did I die??" and kept dying around that area and like 2 minutes later I realized I had to activate the mask. I'd suggest a short text on the first screen "E to activate the spirit mask" because I see a lot of people (like myself) confused by it.

Other than that, it's a good puzzle platformer, the art is beautiful, nice tileset, the character reminds me of the old castlevania like graphics. Really nostalgic, good job!

The mechanism is interesting,

But it needs a tutorial in-game to teach players how to use it.

The spike was not very visible, and I thought died from nothing.

The hit box is quite large, and dealing with multiple enemies at once is not that fun

I hope the level design was more fleshed out.

The visuals and music were okay.

Good work

Play our game if you can: Spectral Mask <3

Took me a few tries and kept wondering why I died when I was just getting used to the controls - but then I put on the mask and it became clear - love the vibe and it's was a nice little game!

I like the mask mechanic. Music not looping. Good start though.

Really cool mechanic with the mask and visibility shift! I had a lot of fun once I understood the mechanic. It would have been nice to see a few more levels that leaned into the mechanics, once the player understood them from the introductory zones. I felt like I was just getting an understanding of what to do when it ended, but I enjoyed my time with it!

Really nice idea! would have loved if it was a little longer to see even more fun implementations of the mechanic but great job nonetheless! The enemies seemingly one shotting you seemed a little much too especially when theres 3 at once haha
