Guide the Wraith Hunter to the Wraith Gate, but beware of the wraiths that cannot be harmed in the physical world. Once the hunter travels to the spirit world, a bizarre mirror of the physical world, the hunter can strike down the same wraiths who are now made manifest. Lead the hunter to the beacon that banishes the evil spirits and cleanses the area.

Pretty cool concept, I like the idea of first avoiding ghosts and then entering their world to destroy them. The game is bit rough around the edges but it's understandable from compo entry
Very solid entry , as someone said there are some rough edges mostly in the player control , but I wish I had managed to get such graphics or music in my entry in so little time! :D
The spirit world feels really cool, attacking and killing enemies feels really good. My only gripe is that I thought the spirit world exit was an enemy and I tried to kill it. Oops.
The level where you had to push the box while avoiding 3 Wraiths was deliciously hard. I could very well see that it was possible but it was super tricky and VERY satisfying to beat.
The music is nice, but it does this weird thing early on where it starts super quiet and then abruptly gets loud. Maybe it's just me.
Graphics aren't perfects but there is something in this tall guy and is hat that i love... And it is a pleasure to kill the ennemies that we had to avoid...
@ JNyknn. Hi, thanks for reviewing my game. You didn't miss anything; my game has five levels. Due to time constraints, I had to make a choice of either creating more levels or creating backgrounds for my existing levels. I chose to make backgrounds (2 backgrounds for each level) to set a mood and show more distinction between the physical and spirit world. Though there are five levels, I'm hoping you will find that the backgrounds give them personality that make them distinct from each other.
Nice art and I really liked the character animations. And the music was procedurally generated? Holy smoke! I just didn't like to click on next level every time. Good job!

Overall really cool entry that's nicely put together for the short amount of time given to make it. The backgrounds and music build a lot of atmosphere. Nice job!
The production values are very impressive. Very strong castlevania feel, and well done. The music was far less repetitive than a typical LD game.
The gameplay I could take or leave. The twist on platforming makes for a nice change between different forms of action over the course of the game, but as it stood neither felt very interesting. The box puzzle at the end was a welcome exception, though also quite frustrating.

Also the sword in spirit world feels great. Fun game!

I think this tied with Bacon Installer for my favorite game so far. :)
Thanks again
