This game is great! I love the idea and the execution of the game! Great work!

One of my highest ratings so far. I love your core mechanic and the gameplay works out to be really fun. Great work!

Super cute, good idea, and some enjoyable music. My only feedback would be it would be nice if there was a way to speed up time so you could jump to the next ghost without waiting.

Nice gameplay mechanics, very original! :D

I like it, It's a really interesting concept!!

sephiroth87 2013-08-26 11:55

@Elrobo: there was in debug mode, but i felt it would ruin the theme a bit :)

Really great! I vaguely remember a flash game with a similar concept. Great execution!

Good game. Could have used a "I want to kill this ghost now" button to be faster. But it is a great idea which could be expanded into a bigger game :)

Very nice game! Some sort of indication of how many ghosts you have would be nice. Also, if you could have a reset button so you ca get rid of the distracting ghosts when you screw up.

Great job!

kristof 2013-08-26 12:41

Great idea! Fits the theme very well. And difficult. I did not make it past level 11 yet :)

I love it. Would have been nice for each level to show how many ghosts you can use, but it's just a minor nuisance. A kill-ghost button would also have been useful. Entertaining though, a really good logic puzzle!

Reminds me of "the company of myself" don't remember where It was though.Corners are somtimes wierd...
Nice Game!

Great puzzler. The ghost mechanic isn't too new but you've made a nice variant of it.

dioiminik 2013-08-26 15:13

Out of all the games I played so far, I liked this one the most :)

rhy3756547 2013-08-26 15:21

Nice work! Having to wait 10 seconds to retry something/place one ghost a tile away was a bit tedious, but the gameplay was really challenging!

leafo 2013-08-26 17:10

This is a great puzzle game. Great job all around.

neekobus 2013-08-26 20:08

Nice idea. Match for the "Death is useful" theme too :)
We definitely needs a "fastforward" button to kiil the current ghost now.

blay09 2013-08-26 22:26

This is harder than it looked! Graphics are looking neat and the ghost character is nicely implemented. Well done :)

pighead10 2013-08-26 22:52

Great concept. It can get boring while waiting 10 seconds repeatedly, a way to speed it up would be nicer.

adamharte 2013-08-26 22:59

Very cool, and nicely polished.
Interesting mechanics. I have seen this before, but I like your take on it, and you can see that you have thought about the progression through the levels and training the player with new skills and problems.

Yay for Löve!

I only got about nine or ten levels into it. My brain doesn't lend itself very good to memory based games. Once the number of switches ramped up, I started to lose track of what they did, and at that point, the cost of experimentation got very high (having to wait for past ghosts to clear out, etc. Otherwise I got confused by who-does-what). For players like me, a "reset" button and potentially a hint button (which switch toggles what) would help a lot.

I think the core mechanic is solid though, the graphics are cute, and it fits very well with the theme. Good job! :)

Nice game. Reminded me a lot of Echoshift. I made it to the 11th puzzle before I stopped. I probably would have played longer if there were a way to skip to the next "play" rather than wait the full 10 seconds.

While the mechanic may not be novel, I was really impressed with the quality of the levels. It didn't take long to reach ones that had really elegant approaches. Well done.

Gave this game overall 4 stars~

Innovation:****
I already have seen a similar game but there aren't many games like this out there.. and it's not just something almost new but also very good executed
Fun:****
The game is fun if you like such a puzzle genre..
Theme:*****
10 seconds. I think the timer in the upper left corner speaks for itself.
Graphics:**
I think the graphics are a bit too simple for my taste... and in addition the character you play is a bit hyperactive... (the animation contrasts the movement speed alot..) But actually the graphics doesn't matter so you can overlook this low rating..
Audio:****
Well... there is music! And it is not annoying~
it matches the visuals.. not sure if 3 or 4 stars but I gave 4 to even out the graphics
Overall:****
Definetly a game worth a try.. I myself didn't play this game for a long time but still have an impression of the game..
-Good job!

crazi456 2013-08-28 22:11

Great use of the 10 second theme. Loved the puzzles, very solid!

wertle 2013-08-28 22:25

The two biggest things that would help would be some way of resetting the whole level (all ghosts back to start) and some kind of feedback about which ghost I was currently controlling (number labels, colors, somethin like that) Good job!

Amazing!!! Idea is great, performance is at a very high level.
Damn good job!
