This was short but sweet; I loved the graphical style and the concept of the dual controls worked well. My only downside was the movement of Lena; it seemed a bit choppy and floaty, but that might be down to the Macbook Air I played the HTML5 version. It's definitely worth expanding this; I think my daughter would love a puzzle game like this on mobile.
Style was very pleasing. I love the dual inputs it made sense here and worked well. Well done!
Very cute! Tubs the ghost is absolutely adorable. Wish there was more levels though
This was pretty cool, wish that you had more time to make more levels because I think this would have been really good!
Stylistic and aesthetic wise was so intriguing to play around with. I find the dual inputs a little bit challenging at first since I'm not used to it. A little bit on the downside, I think some text were abit chopped off due to the resolution (but maybe it's just on my end!)
Actually nice game, gj!
That music loop is so soothing~ Loved the idle animation too! so smooth. I look forward to seeing more of what you guys make in the future! :D
Funny how you shine with a flashlight that you don't even have in your hand. :-D
This is super cute. A really great foundation for a sweet story driven game. I'm really bummed that you weren't able to finish it in time ... Great job though!
Cute, but so short =(
Softlocked myself on the third room by walking past the falling platform and *then* making it fall
the ghost is cute
Tubs is cute. As was the adventure which was short but the concept worked great. couldn't really see the theme. all the art and music involved is great.
Like Mrchip, I've been softlocked on the third room. I started the game a second time and there was ok. The game is really cute, I want over levels ! It was a good experience, congrats !
What a great artstyle, definitely the best out of the games I've played so far. I will say there were some interesting layer orderings. There are a lot of architectural based games but not one in quite this fashion yet so awesome work!
Ghost that's scared of the dark??? So cute!! Their little "oops I'm scared" anim was adorable. I enjoyed the premise of the game - my biggest wish was that the things I could interact with and the outcomes of those interactions were clearer! In the room where I had to kick down the pole, it took me a long time to kick down and figuring it out didn't feel particularly satisfying to me - I felt like the game should have told me more clearly with colors or particles that the pole was destructible. Also I wish when you opened the duck door that there was more visual/audio hullabaloo cuz I did not notice at first! Thanks for the fun time and I hope Tubs stays out of the dark!
Cute! I love the little ghost
Cool premise! Really like the idea of a ghost being afraid of the dark. Wish there were more levels!
Aw, I liked where that was going! Hope you guys can put out a longer one next time. Thanks for the entry!
Dooohh! I loved Tub's little scared face. Super adorable art and muuusic!! I enjoyed the concept that you had going with the platforming and breaking structure to progress. It took me a moment to get the controls with tubs to help out, but once I figured it out I was super into it~ Alsooo looved the spooktober vibe too~ ^ ^
Tubs is just so cute, I hope they'll never have to be alone in the dark ever again! Also in general the art here looks really good and I also liked the music. Destroying houses so that you can shine light somewhere is a really cool idea. I would have preferred some thing like turning your flashlight or moving Tubs to be faster. And of course more levels would have been neat. But the things that you already have here have a lot of potential.
Great job!
the art is simply ADORABLE. i especially love how the ghost emotes when in the dark. obviously its very short, but id love to see this expanded on in a post-jam release! lovely entry.
This is a super polished and really nice game, but like others have said it needs more levels. It would be amazing if you were to keep working on this as there is a lot of potential with the idea. Great job!
Dang! I like the concept very much! Pls make more level in the post jam version!
