Nice work, team!
Nice game. I like the sounds and the level art. Cool you get to pick from different effects at the end of each round. Played a couple of levels and its fun to rip through the environments when you know the layout. Good Job!
Great game, it feels like a full fledged game I couldn't reach the end but it was tense and reaching the door each time was rewarding.
Nice one
@laurahur We uploaded the game for both windows and macOS.

What an amazing game !
I hope my score is not so bad :sweat_smile:
@matoux42 Hey not bad! 32 stages is pretty far already :)
I absolutely love the procedural generation of the tiles. The idea is very fun with a lot of potential. I think the only suggestion i'd make is that your jump should be a bit more variable with how long you press and the top corners be made diagonal colliders to allow you to bounce sideways if you hit one. Other than that great job!
Also had to add that I love seeing the clock tick in the background, really nice touch!
This was a fun game! I really love the clock sound in the background, adds to the intensity. Sometimes the corners were very punishing with the jump. I really enjoyed playing this though.
Wow, this game is so impressive. The art is beautiful and well designed, the audio fits everything spectacularly well, controls and randomized levels feel perfect... wow. Also, thank you so much for putting a tutorial at the beginning! I really enjoyed playing this entry. Super well done, team. I will definitely be coming back to this entry to try again. It sucked me in! I read in the description that there are 100 levels. That's so tempting to try, even though my score after trying for a while was under 200.
(Wrex: try clicking the blank computer or chair? ♥ Not a lot more content, but a little.)
Phantom of Time is phenomenally easy to play and get into. If anyone reads these comments, I hope you consider giving it a shot.
Really nice game. Had a lot of fun. Really hit the theme.
This was fun. My only gripes were that sometimes I couldn't see the ghosts below me before I hit them.
I had fun with this! I got a bit frustrated when I first played and didn't pick the upgrade in time (so I died), but I kept trying and got a score of 214! Interesting ideas and upgrades, but some of them counteracted each other. So I would choose and upgrade for one, and it could be completely countered by the next. It would be better (imho) if the upgrade still had a slight gain after each other.
Great idea! The graphics are very nice, and the ticking audio is great as well. One thing to improve might be the controls. Possibly add up-arrow as a valid jump button. Other than that its a great game, and its really satisfying to freeze and pop enemies!
Thanks for playing guys!
A solid use of the theme, with great art -- excellent use of the palette to separate ghosts/keys/background , it's a simple but often overlooked method to really make things visually clear. Good use of sound to indicate the time limit was approaching too, though the ramp-up sounds could've started a little sooner for me personally.
My one issue was that (I think) there's no grace period after going just over the platform's edge, which I've come to expect from platformers by now. I fell down a ton of times expecting to still be able to make the jump, and it eventually lead to me putting down the game sooner than I would've liked.
A great entry, good job!
The main character's movement speed is too fast so I couldn't be a high scorer. But this is a well-polished and fun game. Art and sound are also good.
Really fleshed out an clean execution of your concept!
It's a really fun game. Some more variety in scenery would've helped it, but I think it already works well in its simplicity. The clock as it is always visible in background is incorporated really well! and the upgrades and randomisation add a lot to the generally simple idea of the game!
Nice art and sound design
very nice game. i think the graphics are really nice. very good gameplay. keep it up.
I can see how it would be very well done but i'm left handed so the controls were a pain for me. :D Aside from that very nice entry. Graphics look nice the movement feels smooth. The ticking sound of the clock in the back and the clock itself are a very neat touch. Great job. Keep it up.
This was really fun and quite addictive! Controls were responsive and I like the card system, it makes it a lot more interesting. Very well done!
Fun! Sound design is incredible. I felt anxious trying to get to the ending fast. Movement could be improved but it's a jam game, so job well done :)
Got 399, very nice game. Short addictive loop. Graphics are great, sounds add a lot to the feel. The clock in the background ticking away reminds you of the pressure.
What a good game! Visuals are really beautiful and sounds are gorgeous. Game mechanic is very fun and engaging and everything feels so polished! Maybe just the jump felt a little odd. My only gripe is that it was a bit annoying when levels would have you choose between going down two different paths and since you can't see you won't know which is the correct one. Really easy to lose that way and it feels a bit too random and unforgiving. Overall a really great experience. Thanks!
Great game, so much fun. I like the idea of the cards you choose every 5 levels cause you have a real impact on the way you play. That looks like a good material for a full game!
Nice game. Took a while to notice the alpha-blended clock. I found it tough to get very far - if you miss a jump, you probably already lost. I was able to play the web version without problems.
Very cool, well done
I love the art style and the spooky mood - especially the clock sound!
The web version seemed to work on my pc. Very well done :thumbsup:
Great game! The sound effects and graphics take the cake. I think a little more drag on the player's ghost would give it a floatier feeling, but that's just personal preference! And I also think it would be nice if there was a way to display the buffs that were already selected when we choose new ones. Overall, very solid platformer!
Cute and fun game. At first it seemed very simple, but it became more and more fun and I ended up liking it a lot. Great job!
Great game! cool visuals and sounds, and i liked the roguelike aspects of the game (procedural levels, interesting upgrade choices). definitely a lot of potential here, congrats! :D
Really fun and loved the ghost characters!
