Cool idea and concept, struggled a lot with this one though. I don't know if I was missing something but it was near impossible to avoid those 1 shot lasers. Other than that I really liked the concept, really outside the box

Glad you liked the concept! The lasers aren't avoidable in the way the bubbles are. The exact solutions vary from level to level, but in a couple of the earlier levels you have to quickly walk through the poison while in alive mode to avoid the lasers.

It's a cool idea and +points for the cute kitty in the pitch video :)

Really great puzzle game with good progression. I really feel for the scientist, poor guy never got to use his ghost hunting lasers.

Very cool concept. I couldn't figure out the first room but I;m dumb so thats probably not on the game's fault

Developer

You have to press shift to switch to ghost mode so you can traverse the poison without taking damage.

The game is cute, it has this retro aesthetic and feel that takes me back! I didn't mind it at all, some parts are really difficult but never frustrating, all in all it's a good game, I'd like to see how it would have turned out with more polish ^^

Developer

Thanks! That's definitely the aestetic I was going for, so I'm glad you noticed!

Please tell me you let your cat out of the box xD I liked the game there's some cool mechanics that slowly get put in every time!

Developer

I'm glad you liked my game! I tried to let my cat out of the box, but she wouldn't move

The concept was really creative and I had a lot of fun playing it! If there was one thing I would critique, it would be the movement speed. It did feel a bit slow at certain points and it felt like some sort of run button would have been nice. Regardless the game was good overall, great job on this!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the game.

I like how the game slowly introduced new obstacles and how it makes you figure out what they do on your own. The art is really nice too!

Developer

Thanks! That's definitely what I was aiming for so I'm glad you noticed it!

I love the art for this game! The opening dialogue was also pretty interesting, and the game mechanics were interesting! It got a bit repetitive after a point, but it was neat game!

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I had never really done pixel art before so I'm glad you like it!
