What a charming game. I really like the ghost faces and the fast pace :3 I only had some issues with motion sickness. But its understandable for a game jam. Solid game. Good job!

I didn't find the version to play in the web :/

johnsensei 2020-10-07 00:19

Same here. I didn't see the Run Game button in itch.io to launch the web version.

Nice game! The art was nice, and the runner mechanics were well done. A big issue I had was that the hitbox seemed way too harsh, especially when jumping. I don't think I successfully jumped over a ghost a single time. I didn't see how the theme applied, but that might just be because it froze after the 4th round. Overall it was pretty good.

I enjoyed the artstyle of the game, and the music fit the game very well. I noticed there wasn't any options to lower the audio though.

I also noticed that the game just stops (?) at the end, and the ghost character just runs offscreen with no indication of the game being over. I'm not sure if this is intentional or a bug.

Nice aesthetic. I didn't understood the objective of it, but it's a good game.

It's a cute little game with some nice art, but I'm a little confused on whether the game is supposed to end abruptly or if it's a glitch. The gameplay is decent, enough to keep attention for a little bit, but I wish there was something more to it.

It looks really fun and I love the art but I am having a problem where my ghost just falls off the screen as soon as I try to change lanes.

bibicio 2020-10-07 00:49

Loved the art, pretty cute! The gameplay was very simple, but was decently engaging.

I think there is a bug where you can rapidly switch to the top lane then the bottom lane, but when you switch to the bottom lane there is a delay before switching to the top lane again.

Anyway, pretty cool game

Cool graphics but I didn't understood the objective too(

What a nice game. Great and simple gameplay. Thank you for the experience and fun music. Well done!

maxime-barre 2020-10-07 07:26

That's indeed a very cute game, I love the esthetic and the general atmosphere. It really feels like controlling an innocent cute ghost! Changing the scenery regularly its very engaging and makes you want to keep playing! The minor issue is that it's a bit difficult to jump over the moving ghosts without touching them.

gabriel-dias-oliveira-de-almeida 2020-10-07 07:32

@raks tried now and had a good time, thanks for the game! ^^

gilazarini 2020-10-07 14:53

This game is so cute, I love nico's design. There's some bugs but still I had a fun time playing it

nicodorito 2020-10-07 22:50

Beautiful game, all the art is really cute and fits the theme. I found the music a nice touch that builds an atmosphere but doesn't get "in the way" of playing. Good job!! Some technical nitpicks: The uncompressed files were quite large(200mb+), I'm not sure why. Could be something to be looked into. There could be a little bit more leeway in the enemies' colliders, sometimes you *feel* like you made the jump but you actually died. Really just a small detail, doesn't diminish the quality of the game and I overall loved it!

justuspan 2020-10-08 14:51

Cute character. Simple and straight forward gameplay. Just curious that why there are so many inevitable ghosts? Am I playing in a wrong way? Anyway, I like this game. Congratulations for your first Jam.

doot 2020-10-08 20:35

Nice game!

The character looks cute. The integration of story is great, it could use some ambiance sounds. The controls felt responsive, even if the jump could've been a bit snappier.

I loved that you did not instantly lose when getting touched. I did not understand why I got the bad ending though, I guess it is based on your number of deaths but there is no indication of the threshold.

Thanks for the game 💕

The character is nice. Felt really bad for him once i lost the game. Simple gameplay, i like it :) Congratulation on your game!

conneli 2020-10-08 21:50

I've never felt so bad about losing a game like that. Nicely done, perhaps an additional third lane to add some more variety might be good? There were definitely points I felt I was taking almost unavoidable damage, could just be my skill level mind you. I really enjoyed this though!

orange-oceans 2020-10-09 00:49

@justuspan When you die, we putter a visual cue that the counter is rising up! so a little piece of the his souls

orange-oceans 2020-10-09 00:52

@doot you have to have a maximun of 31 deaths to win! we didnt have time to add this description ingame, so we putter in the page description!

tweedle 2020-10-22 07:19

i'd buy this pumpkin hat! enjoyed the ghosted death tally mechanic and story elements - very nice!

keibii 2020-10-24 02:06

I really liked this game, super cute. I particularly liked the designs of the ghost!
