Ectoplasm Isn't Everything, the story of a ghost who's only priority is good intentions. Follow him through the forest and stumble across all sorts of wildlife. You might be able to make their day.

The end goal is to help all the forest creatures out and get them on their way again, good luck!

Very cool, and well put together! I did manage to fall off this little world, but when I started it back up I did some quests and things :D

Interesting idea,after a few minutes of play I seemed to just be floating in space endlessly.

I like it. It's fun, but there's not much gameplay. It gets a bit repetitive.

I liked the animals and their stories...the duck sounds will stick with me. The lighting is amazing and really sets a great mood!

Nice graphics and sound, found myself floating in an endless space the first time but managed to feed some animals.

Nice game the graphics and idea are very loevly! You should state the goal of the game somewhere though and the controls and hitbox where a bit funky sometimes.

I love the mood of this game, awesome graphics!

Hitboxes are a bit weird, but I would love to see a full version of this (outside of LD) someday :D

Hedgehog was my favourite (the sound I mean) :)

Nice atmosphere and music, ghost speed can get a bit excessive but it has charm.

Loved the art - so cute (and the mood is really captured through some great lighting). Great job on a enjoyable entry :)

Nice game, the graphics are awesome (love the fireflies effect!).

The game is very atmospheric. Everything is great but i can fall off of the map and i cant find where the map was which got me a little lost and had to restart the game. Great game!

Good looking game with nice handling. But with small screen and no map at all it's easy to get lost, and it seems like I can fly completely outside of level's boundaries.

Very nice graphics and mood. The movement was a bit frustrating and made platforming very hard. I felt like the ghost's bounding box was a bit too big and got me stuck a few times.

I broke the game immediately by flying to high haha. The sound was very nice, I enjoyed hearing what each one of the animals were going to say next. Could be expanded to a much bigger idea, but not bad for ludam dare weekend!

You nailed the Aesthetics for this game. Loved all of the critters and their quests. I wasn't sure if I completed them all or if I missed something though, is there an end game state?

No end game. You're left to appreciate the atmosphere and quirky animal noises.

And thanks everyone for the amazing feedback!

Holy &$%# those shaders! Like, seriously, they are beautiful. I love the firefly effects, this game is gorgeous. The audio fits as well, this game has a really great aesthetic/mood. The collisions were at times a little funny, but I think the graphical quality and story makes up for that. Very, VERY well done!
