Very nice art style and I liked the music. The game was a little easy though, as there wasn't time for the ghosts to catch up with you, but a nice concept. Just to let you know, the hit boxes on the platforms were a little buggy and I fell through the level a couple of times.
@marc-jones Thanks for letting me know! During development, I struggled a bit with the ground's hit boxes. If I get the time, I will try to tweak it. :)
@corc0 I have never come across that particular bug! Thank you for bringing it to my attention. That behavior is definitely not intentional. If I get the time, I will try to remove it from the game.
@lot9s No problem! If you have any trouble finding it, I only tested it in the level with one ghost. Let him catch you when you're close to the end of the level and try moving.
Disturbing, indeed :-) Cute graphics. Audio works really well (most of the disturbing feelings comes from the audio). It's short (as announced). I played it twice, which means I must have enjoyed it at least a bit ;-)
Exactly what I was hoping it would feel like! I got to 44 kills, and then I could jump up off the screen! Wheeeeee! Hilarious and fun; perfect match to the theme.
My volume was turned down for the first half... imagine my surprise when I turned it back up. Weird juxtaposition of moods between the sound and graphics, but I liked it. Nice work
An interesting game, but there are something that I think you should give attention to. 1.If I have lots of hearts, when I die, the camera will keep moving with inertia. 2.I can go right or left, but I can only attack on the right side. If I'm in front of the little box, I have to go back. That's not particularly friendly to players. 3.The aim of this game doesn't really obvious. Before I played this game, I haven't read the reviews or anything. When I'm playing this game, I just run away so fast to get to the door. You should make some rules to show the special things of this game. 4.It may be time limited， I think you can create more elements in the upper part.
I think this kind of hits the theme pretty well, really atmospheric too for such a minimalistic experience! - Bug: You can stand on enemies and fly on them, is this intented?
@moeshan Thank you for your feedback! I was not aware of (1). I shall add it to the list of bugs to squash post-LD40. (2) and (3) were intentional, but I have now gotten feedback about not being able to attack to the right that I may just add it to the game. With respect to (4), I quite agree with you. Levels could be more interesting if they took advantage of vertical space more. However, I was trying out a lot of new things with this game, and I ran out of time while trying to eliminate collision bugs. Thanks again for the feedback! Hopefully, the polished version of the gam will be better. :)
@nodine I'm afraid that the behavior you are referring to is not intentional. Rather, it's a bug I noticed during development but never bothered to write down haha. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention!
The concept is interesting, I think it would be nice to see a game like this with permanence between the phases, so the phantoms of one phase would continue in the next. Good game.
O conceito é interessante, eu acho que seria legal ver um jogo assim com permanência entre as fases, dessa forma os fantasmas de uma fase continuariam na próximo. Bom jogo. :flag_br:
Hahaha - this is by far the weirdest game I've played for LD40. The jump controls remind me so much of Moon Patrol on Atari; until you get more hearts and can jump really high/far. I would like to see more levels with more random weird stuff happening. Good job!
@jjjjason Actually, I had never heard of Eversion until now. Thanks for mentioning it! I will definitely check it out for inspiration on how to polish the game further.

If you're interested, @lot9s I've found something like a bug: for a short period of time, I can still move/complete a level after I'm killed by ghost.
Hilarious and fun; perfect match to the theme.

The fact that I can jump so high (got over 70 hearts) is definitely eerie, makes me feel like I'm not quite seeing something. Cool game.
