Shifty Seamus has the grandest mythical power of all. He can shift the very world around him to his every whim! Or at least between one of two versions of reality.

This is my first time ever attempting to make a pure HTML5/Javascript game, and it was definitely a learning experience, but thankfully I actually got a working game out of it.

Controls:
Arrow keys - Left and Right to move, Up to Jump
Space Bar - Shift the world between it's two states.

Nice level design. Challenging and fun. The ghosts gave it a sense of urgency.

haha, I won :) I wish there were more levels. The only thing I disliked was the graphics -- could be more homogeneous (ie the tiles and background should be drawn in the same style as the protagonist). And you did it with ~500lines of code including the levels, respect!

@sanojian - Thanks! The ghosts were actually a last-minute addition, but I am glad I was able to get them in :)

@theOnlyGoodDrcz - Glad you liked it! And yeah, I also wish I had more time left over to make more levels.

Great idea with the transformation of objects in the level. The Ghost is too funny.

This was really fun! Love the ghost art, and the puzzles were cool. Getting the timing down on some of the puzzles was really challenging, in a good way. Nice job!

I really like the level design and the mechanics! Very very fun to interact with. Great puzzles. With some flashy graphics this is a hit!

I few glitches with springs and collision but nothing too bad. The gameplay was fun with interesting level design.

Pleasant game to play. Wish the sounds were a bit better. Also, there seems to be a bug for a few things...like me landing on spikes doesn't kill me or me landing/jumping on the spring does nothing as well. Good concept, good work x)

Nice approach of the theme and great level design. Keep up the good work!

@Everyone
Thanks a lot guys! I had no idea the ghosts would be so popular :D

@BitDare & @Arvydas
Yeah, I rewrote the collision detection code 3 times and never quite perfected it.

The springs/spikes only bounce/kill you when you fall directly onto them, not when you walk across them, or land on the very edge. Might not have been right choice, but I wanted to prevent cheap brushed-your-toe-against-the-spikes deaths.

Yay I won! The core mechanics are great, and requires a fair amount of thinking an problem solving. It's nice that you included a fair amount of levels too. I also like Seamus :)

Nice level design. The sounds seemed kind of delayed.

I like the way you take the theme. And level design is clever. Good job :)

The level design was nice on this. I felt it slowly ramping up in difficulty quite nicely and was challenging without being annoying.

This is the best game I have played.

Played the game til the end. Performance was a bit bad on my browser and graphics need an upgrade, but the concept was really cool and the levels were well-designed. Enjoyed this game quite a lot :-)
