You are the Shepherd of Ghosts. You care for them until they move on. But some people don't understand, and wish to destroy your charges. You must frighten these do-gooders away before they exorcise you!

Your ghost can scare the exorcists if it sneaks up behind them, but if they see it, they can send it away.

Use the arrow keys to move.

Game was built in HTML5 with Phaser.js

Good luck!

Ok little game. Can't seem to figure out why sometimes I scare them and sometimes I don't. The high pictched sound got a little annoying after a while.

Crafting4U: I think you scare them away by sneaking behind rather than getting them from the front or (sometimes) side.

Fun to play. Might be nice if you don't get sent away even when you sneak up behind them. The path-finding for your adversaries seems to be inefficient in wide-open spaces.

Great mood, loved the music.
Game play got boring after a short while.

Nice little game. The music was great, the sfx could still be better. Graphics are decent. Good job, keep it up!

Nice game with an interessting interpretation of the theme. I didn't played it very long since I don't know if it has some kind of progression or if the goal is simply to survive as long as possible. If it is about survival, a clock would be nice.

Like the concept. Maybe it becomes a little too easy when you undestand how it works.

I would have liked to stay where I was after successfully scaring someone, but otherwise the game was quirky and fun to play. I liked how the difficulty ramps up as you learn to play.

Fantastic job and addictive too. A favorite (after you've learned what to do)

Original and fun, but it's a little slow!

Nice game with an interesting mechanic! Became a little bit repetitive after a while when you got the hang of the scaring, but still enjoyable. Good job :)

Nice music. I wish it didn't send me back each time I scared one away.

Fun concept, great use of theme. I feel like there needs to be something else added to make it a little less repetitive, and more challenging. Otherwise, great job!
