Thank you so much for the kind words!
As a programmer, I honestly didn't expect to receive so many compliments about the art and presentation, so hearing that the artwork and story landed well is incredibly rewarding. I put a lot of effort into those areas, and I'm really happy to hear it was worth it.
The "ghost mode" bug is actually one I've tracked down already, and it'll be fixed in a future update. So if you decide to come back and challenge that world record, you'll have to do it the intended way!
Thanks again for playing and for taking the time to leave such encouraging feedback. It means a lot!
