This is great, I could not beat the 4167 so it stands... for now.

I can honestly say I was not expecting a railshooter fatal frame mashup but lo and behold. Quite fun, though it gets a bit repetitive and the hitbox on actually capturing the ghosts can be awkward at times. GG.

Fatal frame refereces, this is good, like all unbuggy 3D games in JAM, so good work

A great idea and nicely executed. The environments in particular were impressive!

The biggest enhancement to the game would have been some spooky music to fill in some of the quiet moments but other than that, the game accomplishes very well what it set out to do!

Good game ^^ A little bit repetitive and some little problems with ghosts, but it's great anyway :)

Great game! Very cool idea to make a camera a weapon. I would have liked to see more variety after the 2nd room - the scenery changed (GREAT scenery for a LD entry) but everything else was about the same. I got a 4000-something when I ran out of film.

Woah, that's really interesting concept.
My score is 4280, I was hoping that there will be an album in the end and BAM - here it is. Awesome!

The music was super terrifying, though sometimes the camera didn't work properly

Very awesome. Like Time Crisis but with cameras and ghosts. Great job!

Like Pokemon Snap, but for the recently dead.

Would recommend.
