The idea is really great and the ghost is adorable. The music is also excellent for the setting I think. Downsides I see are that it would be nice if it were easier to tell if you are being hit by an enemy, maybe with a screen shake or something.

Great mechanic and use of the theme. :)

Interesting and enjoyable game, rated highly. :)

Imagine the lvls are random, I got 3 levels in a row where I could see the door.
Nice idea.

Cool game. Well implemented and the balancing was right on.

Aww the ghost is so adorable >.< I love him! It makes me so sad when I see him crying like that... :'( Great job on the assets.

I really love the concept too, a ghost afraid of the dark. That's just a wonderful idea.

Only thing I would like to see to make it possible to avoid the monsters. Right now as a player, I just feel like it's something I have no control over.

Loved it though, cheers

Great job! Arrow keys did not work (had to remap my keyboard because I am on azerty so WASD is hard :D), but after that smooth sailing!
I love the arcadey feeling of the game, it is paced just right, and I love the coherence of the graphic style (maybe the sun is a bit out of place, but then again it is easier to spot that way). The music felt also really appropriate. All in all, great job, and very cool idea that fits very well with the theme and scale of the game!

The game does not run for me :( (Windows 7), I have Java. Nothing happens when I double click exe

Runs good.
Very quick game.
Hard to avoid enemies when running that fast.
Even harder on level 7+ when there are enemies all around ^^

Once apon a _disco_ night should come with an epilepsy warning ;) My highest level was 7. I wasn't sure if I made any progress, my guess is you randomize the background and increase the baddies, maybe one extra for each level. I once started on the sun. Thanks

I like the atmosphere, graphics and music. Gameplay is a little simplistic but it works. :)
