I couldn’t quite figure out how to play. The first ghost I ran into hit me three times and killed me. Sometimes I managed to defeat them, but I’m not exactly sure how I did it.

Hi, thanks for the comment, and for playing my game. I apologise for not making that particular aspect clear - I knew I was missing something. The flashlight used by the character is used to deal damage to enemies: those in its light will take damage.
I have now edited the game page to explain this mechanic in more detail.
Here’s a short video showing the ghost attacking me (https://youtu.be/UasFUq2xVOA), along with some console logs. I was pointing the flashlight at the second and third ghosts, and I think they weren’t taking any damage.
Thanks for providing the video. I can assure this is not the intended behaviour for the ghosts: they are definitely not supposed to be that fast. Unfortunately this is a pretty big bug in my code that I have now discovered being linked to the processing of ghost movement. I apologise for the game being shipped in an unplayable state for you and will look to release a fixed version after the jam is over.
