really cool idea for october!

The music, sound effects, and atmospheric lighting are charming. I'm not sure it went with the theme, but it definitely went with the season!

What a great game to play before Halloween! It's a fun game but I found that the endgame is a little boring as once I was a certain size I just flew in one direction and mashed the space key until I won.

The perfect game to get your halloween spirit up and running once more! It's a fun thematic take on the "Fishy Game" idea, where you eat stuff that's smaller than you. I usually really love these kinds of dark seasonal games, no matter the gameplay, and this is no exception!

The artwork is cute and very charming, I love the little details on some of the other sentient things when you get a little too close for comfort, as well as the reaction of the ghost when you try to eat something too big. The darkness works really well too, and all the sprites for the creatures as well as the other things are nice!

When it comes to audio, the music was obviously fitting, and certainly added to the atmosphere. The sound effects were also quite nice, although I didn't notice too many of them. Notably, I felt the game ended a bit abruptly when you died, without any sound effects or animations, but that's a very minor issue given many other things, especially the graphics, were actually pretty detailed!

I really enjoyed the game's spooky feeling, and although it didn't quite fit the theme it was certainly a good game to play now in October, and I'm happy you decided to go with the halloween game idea! Nice work!

That brought a smile to my face!

The artwork was adorable, the sounds were great (although if I wanted to nitpick I'd say they were a bit loud), and the the gameplay was solid.

One other small gripe: it would have been nice to have some feedback for then the player "dies". A puff of spooky vapors, a moan, that kinda stuff.

Fun mood and totally playable. The hitboxes seemed a little off. Sometimes I could get closer to things and sometimes I felt like I was really far away but died...

Oooh I love the face the ghost makes when it can't eat something just a little bit bigger than it. Plus you has ghost which earns brownie points with us! (lol) I loved this one! Great job!
