The graphics are too cute, the music is very well done - but I couldn't get past level 6 I think? (three chasing shadows, always teleporting on me after some time when they stopped moving and looked around) Removing the shadows after losing a life would have been great, as they just kept teleporting on me after getting caught once, so if they would despawn I could have some time to breath and move around again.
Nice game though!

@fis since 6 is the last one I thought of getting a lil havier with the difficulty XD.
Thank you for you for playing it and for your kind words! :)
One strategy for the shadows is to keep always moving, cause when they look around, they will teleport to the place you were when they started looking.

The little GIF showing a tape going into the TV explains the goal really neatly. I like the chunky character sprite and the patterned background too. Keeping the CRT filter optional is a useful touch, especially with artwork designed to work under it.
If you have a moment, I'd appreciate a rating on my latest game, Robot Workshop.
