You should mention the controls. I figured out that arrow keys move you, space to restart, and shift to transform.
And how do I reach the baby? I move to the left, and off-screen, but the camera doesn't follow...And the monster controls are a bit unusual, is it meant to be a floaty ghost? Nice concept though :D

Thanks for the feedback varuns. See for the controls right above, in the description of the game. You can move the camera itself (note how the background moves a little slower which is so cool :D) by pressing J or L ect.

The controls should be explained in game, and should be less finicky. Instead of J and L, the camera could be controlled with the arrow keys or just autoscroll.
Restart should definitely not be on spacebar! I accidentally restarted a couple of times instead of shifting.

The wall/ceiling climbing mechanic was the best, and I liked the fact that the parents could not see you if you were above them.

This is a very cool game. Graphics are pretty and the game mechanics work. It also perfectly fits with the theme. There is a few physics bugs but it's totally playable. I'll try the second ending of the game !

The art was charming and nice, it had a nice sense of humor, and the gameplay was good. I might want to suggest a different control scheme however. It got a bit difficult to use...

Whelp, looks like it's time to exorcise the house again.

Nice idea, but couldn't finish because the dad got stuck on top of the stairs.

An interesting idea but the camera & restart controls are a little awkward
