Instruction:

Going into cover will make your spirit invisible on the other side. You can temporarily reverse your polarity to move your spirit out of limbo... But this takes a lot of stamina to control, which you can replenish by hiding. Baddies will attempt to eat your spirit so watch out!

Controls:
- Space Bar to start game... Tap space bar to hide in open doors/go invisible
- W or Up to reverse your polarity...

I streamed most of the game over on my twitch page @ http://www.twitch.tv/vanZeben

Another ghost game, cool! Hitting the least popular final round theme as well as the chosen one, a great way to go. Made it maybe 1500, then died a terrible spirit death.

Fun game, I really like the artstyle and music. One thing though, after I closed it the music just kept playing until I found the process in the task manager and killed it. You might want to add a quit button or something that closes the game properly.

I've seen this concept before, but the graphics and mood is awesome :) Good job!

For some reason it's not working for me on Linux. Throws exception: "javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: line with format PCM_SIGNED 44100.0 Hz, 16 bit, stereo, 4 bytes/frame, little-endian not supported."

Fun little game with some unique gameplay. I like the simplicity in the controls and the pixel character's walk cycle. The music has that perfect "spooky" vibe. I think if there was one thing that could be improved, it's the interface. There's text going off the screen, aligned funny, etc. But overall I enjoyed it, got around 1800 points!

Nice simple game :), great graphics and the music adds that nice "spooky" tone. Great job! Although the game does not close properly, music still plays but thats only a minor complaint

Fun little runner. Could have been a bit more challenging up front.
