Quite enjoyed playing this! Great job!

This was fun to play :)

My only complaint is at first I wasn't quite sure what was part of the map and what was obstacles to avoid but I got the hang of it after a bit.

Nice! The last level was tough :D It took me a while to realize that I should collect the souls, not avoid them. Also I'm not sure what they are for. But I enjoyed it anyway!

Loved the art in your game, it seemed very polished and I like the parallax. The theme was very cool and the mood was set very well by the music and graphics. Overall cool game, good job!

A cute flash-like game with rather brutal obstacles :)

Cool, fun simple game! Would love to see it polished and with more advanced features like upgrades, more abilities, etc. Hint for future players - some ghosts are reachable only when using the C ability ;)

Great entry! Got down to my last life on the last level so it got tense as I tried to stay alive! Loved the art too!

hi! cool game with fitting concept! it is a bit unclear what will gamage the ghost and what is just an invironment form the first glance

Nice little game you made there! Controls and gameplay were intuitive and worked well. I made the mistake of dodging the souls at first since I thought they were just obstacles, turns out I am just blind and didn't read the part where I need to collect them xD

Cute game! Some obstacles seem a bit impossible but overall, nice!

the music is great but i guess not self made as you opted out of audio? the game is also fun but at times a bit unfair as obstacles can spawn at the same place as souls and also spawn in a way that will block your path completely other than that nice and fun gameplay :)

Nice atmosphere, clean presentation. The souls could have a little flash or sparkle animation to draw player's eye, especially when they're hidden near the bottom of the screen. I would like a little more feedback on the level select screen as well. I assumed they get harder (and learned as much), but a "difficulty "rating" or something and a checkmark if you've completed them would have been nice for a sense of progress. As is, since it doesn't seem to remember your progress, they're more like a difficulty selection screen without descriptions.

Really enjoyed it, very cute, loved the theme! The music was also very good. I did have a tough time reading the UI, scaling it up about 50% would have really helped.

Nice and competent. Cute. The only major issue I ran into was the jerky way the frames progressed across the screen. I could see the tombstones moving in steps across.

Very simple yet fun and visually appealing! I enjoyed this game even though the spawning felt too random and chaotic at times, the art style is really nice I like the foreground layer idea as well. I wish this had more mechanics to it, but I think it's great as it is, nice job!

Cute game! The parallax with the background worked very well, and the obstacles were all quite obvious. It was a little hard to tell what the souls were for, but they looked cute so I picked them up anyways.
