Please let me know if you make it on the leaderboard!

Thanks! It is real time multiplayer, so not sure I'd call it really simple, but the nature of a game jam means people usually aren't playing long enough to run into anyone else playing. Glad you had fun!

Thanks, the floatiness is very much intended, and I tried to balance it with equally tight gravity when falling.

That's right, new world record just dropped, 169!

Obvious winner for best game

Hi, did you play in browser or on desktop? Unfortunately, the browser build has to run single threaded.

This is a real time multiplayer precision platformer. Not sure what is simple about it, but glad you had fun. 

Hi, you can stand on the blocks. They only become intangible right before hitting the bottom so they don't crush you.

2353!

Thanks! I didn't end up having time for audio, but I agree it really would have benefitted from some. Thanks for playing, happy Halloween! 

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! Super satisfying shooting, fantastic art, great sound effects, great atmosphere, great idea, just all around great. I wish there were more to play!

130 is better than I or my friends could manage, I got 121 :) Thank you so much for the feedback! 

The gameplay quickly got repetitive and  boring. The art was good, but the environment didn't feel very full. I didn't finish it though, so maybe it got better near the end.

Confusing.

EFFING LOVED THIS GAME. My dude. "Who designed this game" classic lmao. awesome graphics, great atmosphere, engaging dialog, loveable character, challenging but forgiving gameplay, creative use of the theme both with the phantom mechanic and the "deal". 10/10 would play again.

I absolutely loved this game and would have been thrilled to be able to play more. the aesthetic was so endearing. The final level was actually challenging, and the sound and graphics were wonderful. My only complaint was I had zero clue how the theme of sacrifice fit in until reading the description, and even then it didn't "click". Great game!

That was awesome! I would have loved to play a few more level! great sound, graphics, level design, and classic mechanics. Good job!

It looks great, certainly better than mine haha. Great submission, you should be proud.

You're welcome!

Is the double jump intentional? it feels like a bug. also the gaps you have to jump over are just slightly too wide and end up feeling more frustrating than challenging.

I love the general aesthetic and mood, the sounds are great, the animations are solid, but the gameplay itself just isn't very fun. I found myself bored before finishing it.
