Thanks again for inviting to the team to work on this little game. :)

Hope you continue working on this one it does have something promising in it

In general I don't want to have to "install" your game... Just provide the actual game itself so I can just unzip and play.

No web/osx :(

Hey, even without proper ending I really liked the mood of the game. Music and graphics are very cool, good job. ^^

On start, it shows an error message: "############################################################################################
ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object obj_resolution:

Invalid surface dimensions
at gml_Object_obj_resolution_Create_0

If I click "Ignore", the game works normally, although it starts in very small resolution.

I liked the gameplay and the design of the game very much. Good work.

I found it difficult to figure out what to actually do but I can still appreciate the effort put in

An ending would do much for the experience.
but we enjoyed it so far.
we used game maker too, nice window settings. :)

I have an error pop up regarding resolution and then I can't play the game it's incredibly small :(

lordkawaii 2015-08-25 19:09

I really liked the art.

First off, I love the idea. This definitely has the potential to be a great game. I also got the error mentioned before, and generally dislike the fact that you have to install it (that might be a GM thing, I'm not sure). Could've used better instructions/indicators on how to play. The music/sounds and the art was great and the game overall felt quite humorous. Overall, nice job!

firetwin 2015-08-25 19:18

It has an error at the beginning that needs fixing and I didn't really understand how to play the game. On the other hand that art kicks ass! It's super minimalistic pixel art, love it! And the music and sounds make for a perfect spooky setting. Great job. Just needs the game mechanics finished and it could be great.

I'm on windows 7 and am unable to start the game properly. It's also, like, postage-stamp-sized on my screen. :/

On windows 7 64bits:

Thanks for the lovely comments :)
And for those getting the Error Codes at the beginning:
Until the game get's patched, press the "Ignore" button, don't press the "Abort" button (which will quit the application)
If that doesn't work, then it can only be fixed with a patch. But thank you for the input!

jsmars 2015-08-26 20:53

Looks very nice and promising, too bad it's unfinished :)

glerikud 2015-08-26 21:12

I also have the code error popping up the others commented here.

boardtobits 2015-08-26 21:16

The game is about postage stamp sized on my screen. I imagine it's supposed to upsize the pixel graphics? The screen shots look really good; I wish my eyesight were better so I could play it.

Totally sweet! I scared the s**t out of him.

I haunted that house like a ghost-boss. Good concept! I like affecting the tv and toaster, and the screams of fright the guy makes! And when he runs to another room, jittering from fear... great stuff!

A couple errors did pop up, hitting the "Ignore" button seems to work.

Xfreeb0y 2015-08-29 13:48

Thanks you all so much ( I'm the graphist) :)

perecil 2015-09-01 09:12

Nice overall game, I loved the graphics (despite some bugs) :).

Note: I've got an error, but this doesn't seems to affect the game:

Too bad you guys didn't finish it, it is great already. Quite a worthy entry. I like the concept of human vs. ghost, and the gameplay idea is interesting. Lovely graphics.
