Nice graphics

2.5D view is excellent, overall art and music feel is very very good. Problem is that I'm completely lost, I somehow managed to open door in the first level, but in the second... I just don't know what to do :) Some hint would be nice, I'd like to see what more is there. (Won't rate for now, will get back later)

Hello Shigor... thank you for your words. It seems that I alwasy make my game harder than it should be :( I'm glad you like the 2.5D view and the music. Best regards

I love it too! But I'm stuck too. I managed to go to the thirs "room" but I can't jump across the guards...:(

I reached the end(?), but the second level was very frustrating. Although I love the music and the 2.5D view, the collision detection is very, very off. Every time I though the ghost wouldn't touch me at all, I just died. I even died midair when I was way over the ghost and it couldn't possibly touch me in any way. I guess the collision is grid based. So much blood everywhere... and the scream. That scream... oh, boy!

I rated this high, though, because I liked the atmosphere.

The gameplay itself i did not like, but the ART man the ART was AWESOME

Short but very good. Took me some time to figure out that I can jump and walk on walls. The jumping was quite tricky eith the tile-based movement. I like the lo-fi black, white and red look of the game.

Thank you all for testing the game
@Pierrec: you need to be stading on a block to jump over the guards :(

@summaky: yes the collision is not grid-based but I didn't have the time to polish the hitmask. Did you try the fixed version?

@Felipe Budinich Thank you, I actually consider myself a coder and not an artist , altought I love to make music for video games. Are you from Chile (I think I read about you in the Internetz)?

@tcstyle: yes I need to work on the jumping
