Does the game crash at an exact place or during a specific action; or does it crash randomly? What is your machine's specifications such as processor, RAM, VRAM; desktop or laptop? Is it possible for you to change the graphics quality before it crashes and see if that extends or fixes the issue?

I think Reed Timmer would probably debate your tornado logic but it makes for an awesome game. The tutorial was entertaining and the ending ("moderate images of niceness" for me) was very rewarding.

Simple, relaxing, pretty on the eyes. It benefits from that implicit tutorial that doesn't require the player to read pages of text. If I had to criticize something I would say that it's just too short; but that's more of a compliment really. Very nice.

Pretty ambitious project for a game jam: very impressed with the size of the levels and the puzzle design. I think that the spirit form would benefit from "ethereal" vision of the world (maybe a post process effect). This would be both for style and to hint to the player where to go and with what objects to interact.

Discovering what the katana was used for made me laugh and cry at the same time; but it made me excited to go to ghost form each time. Definitely a fun game. I didn't finish it but this is one I plan to come back to soon.

You're right. Sometimes the dialogue spams the screen. Maybe a slider that controls the speed or a "Continue" button would improve the experience. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.

Buttery smooth controls. Great job on the theme (We also did a synthwave style).

My personal best was 12 but I admit I'm not good at fast paced action games.

You are too awesome! I prettied up the page and added some screenshots. Thank you.

Reuploaded as a zip file including the directories you mentioned. Thank you.

Thank you. I tried to compose something a bit more upbeat but this was what I came up with in the end. I think it fits well enough.

Glad to hear. It was really buggin' me. (Pun intended)

A fellow entrant found a bug in my game. I would like to fix it and update the files but I realize that changing anything after the deadline might lead to disqualification from the jam. Is bug fixing allowed after the submission date?

You are correct. I was able to reproduce the bug. It's a button that allows the player to collect money. Silly me, I forgot to disable the button while it's hidden. Thank you for making me aware.

Thank you so much for the encouraging statement! We have more pet interactions planned but they were put on hold to meet the jam deadline. Thank you again.

I'm glad you liked it. I enjoyed making it. Thank you.

There are currently two endings. The second ending is trickier to unlock but finding all handprints is necessary to get the next clue. I will write a text walkthrough or upload a video showing all solutions soon. I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thank you!
