Really liked the concept. The music, character design and graphics is really good. I think the game is a bit too hard, the placements is way to precises, and there's not enough time to finish.

I liked the game concept. Have to memorize 2 diferent layout is hard and interesting. But the game is so hard! We need to be precise and there is no tiles or something like it to help in it.

Tip: Use the floor tiles as a reference grid :)

Great game! Perfectly fit the theme. Nice music too! I have to agree, it would be nice to have a bit more time on the first level :)

very good game. it's just a shame that there are only two scenes. The idea of ​​purgatory is really good. Congratulations.

It's a cool concept. Would be more enjoyable if the game required bit less precision but overall I had fun playing it for a while :smile:

I encountered a bug where the text in speech bubbles suddenly becomes very low resolution and looses some readability. Screenshot_7.jpg

Interesting idea. And it looks cute! I think it's too hard though! I'd recommend starting with less objects and giving more time. Small annoying bug: sometimes you move things arround when you're carrying other things. This can be pretty annoying on small levels such as the ones in the game.

Fixed the some bugs on html.

Cool concept, nice style ! The game leans on being a fair bit too hard though, and I was a bit confused about what it wanted me to do when switching rooms... All in all, I like it !

I really like the idea, the visuals and that spooky music :skull: Transitions between scenes feel very polished - especially that speech bubble. Great game! :smile:

Nice game concept. Gameplay was cool but what admires me much is the art style. It was super cool.. great work.

gonzalol 2020-10-07 14:47

Very funny and original interpretation of the theme. I laughed when I read it. The art is also nice. Maybe it's a little to hard to complete.

croxel-studios 2020-10-07 14:49

Liked the concept a lot very cool idea. The execution is kinda weird, you have to be too precise.

Also some UI was overlapped with the scene. But great game, the artstyle is pretty good :)

benjamin 2020-10-07 14:57

I like the main idea, but in its current state the game is really hard. I guess some grid based position for furnitures would help a lot to memorize AND place items. It was very fun looking at the ghost destroying everything in the room :)

Good idea for the gameplay, good artstyle and polish !

I liked the concept, the art, the audio, almost everthing. But, weirdly, I have the opposite problem from the other people commenting: once I got the hang of the mechanic, it became too easy to continue playing forever, to the point I had to lose on purpose to stop the loop (with an score of 24). I don't know what to suggest, though... maybe the time to fix everything could shorten after a while?

Interesting concept. At first I was really confused and the buttons to use were a little scattered. However once I got the hang of it, it became easy fast. Would love to see more levels and just a bit more variety.

flawed 2020-10-08 03:21

I originally planned to have more levels but working out the mechanics took quite a bit of time and I ended up only finishing two rooms :p If I have spare time this week I could probably add some more content to the update, should not be too hard since the framework is finished.

ds-nahogara 2020-10-08 05:58

Very interesting game! It is hardcore af for me :laughing:, i think it is because of the guy that doesn't stop kicking the ball!! Fantastic art direction, the main character is phenomenal, great job :heart:

geraldfingburke 2020-10-08 13:12

I managed to smash this game with a high score of... 1. It's very well put together and a super interesting concept, but it was just a little bit tough for me. I absolutely loved everything from the art to the music, to the incredibly clever premise. Fantastic game, I just happen to suck at it.

nikolay-zapolnov 2020-10-08 20:59

Haha nice twist on the theme! It would be nice if when you fail the game showed you the correct layout. Also it was not obvious that you have to memorize two layouts before starting the game.

wizard-sino 2020-10-08 22:49

Very Hard. Good every thing else tho.

mikoziq 2020-10-10 21:49

Solid foundation for good game. Art and music is very cool and the gameplay is almost what it should be. Unfortunately, it gets really repetitive especially when you memorized the pattern. There should be more variation or changes to rooms or maybe another pair of souls introduced. Nontheless, it's a very good entry! Nice job!

onkel-mo 2020-10-12 10:37

I liked the game; it put a smile on my face :). The graphics are nice, the music is really catchy, and the idea and story behind it is really cool. Like most people have mentioned, it is a little too hard though. The precise placement is okay for me (fits the story), but I think a little more time would be necessary. 5 or 10 seconds should do the trick.
