Congrats on your first LD entry! There's a typo on the title screen; "because" is repeated twice. Otherwise, nice game.

The game was fun and I liked the different abilities. It seemed like some of the bullets would hit me no matter what I did though and it was pretty frequent.

Very fun! The bullets were a bit hard to dodge, but I like the design overall. Unique mechanic, interesting powers, good use of theme. Well done!

Thanks guys! Fun tip for the bullets: The closer you get to the guys shooting them the slower the bullets go.

HUD is nice. Gameplay is simple but good. Powers are good too.
One bug is that when I restart game music starts playing twice.

Interesting game, the music started playing double after restart. Some of the abilities could use some work. After finishing a ghost walk we need time to avoid blocks.

Hilarious how the little guy had its hair. The music is ok, but when you go to the main screen and play again there's an additional track playing over the original one. After 3-4 plays the music becomes an aural mess. Jusy sayin'

Moving up is a bit hard (and bad for my Up arrow key's health).
Other than that, a nice concept and really enjoyable.

@Sound issue: since it's not game breaking, I don't think I'd be allowed to re-upload.

@Powerup Phase: the point though is that it's a bit of a gamble on saving your butt now to potentially put you in harms way for whats coming up.

@moving up: You're falling, gaining height is a lot harder than moving down in terms of that.

Other than that, thanks again for playing it! I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

Simple cool game. Nice job! I included it in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/IHhkgdPuakc
