Game is hard later rounds what makes it really cool. I can see myself playing this on ipad also. Music super nice ads a lot to the mood. the ghost collected on the sides is a super fun touch. Art is nice and the trail effect super slick. Love the eyes of Greg in the menu also the menu works great. Super good game people!
Cool art and good feedback, Greg is happy)
The visuals are cool, but the gameplay seemed boring.
I love the game's mechanic, it's so creative, it easy to play and easy to addict. Pixelart is also pretty and soundfx fits well too. Good work!
Art is awesome, but talking about gameplay I'd like to see some SFX on getting damaged :thinking:
This is SO hard tho... omg. But music is catchy, while gameplay loop is understandable and fun. A bit better feedback on getting hit and its golden, I think!
Hard game but fun! The graphics are amazing!
@bigtasty and @batisdark thanks for playing! I just wanted to pop in and say that there are 4 pieces of feedback when you take damage, but perhaps they're not powerful enough. Theres a sound, the heart flashes, the healthbar goes down and the screen flashs red :( :(
Good game! Graphics and sound effects feels right for a game like that. I did not have the patience and focus to complete the last level but that is skill issue on my part i guess :smile: It looks polished!
very satisfying gameplay loop, i would do anything for greg
Cool game! Would have liked the health bar to be more visible though, took a while before I noticed it, but other than that its a nice simple game.
I love the hexagon highlighted trail behind the ghosts and skulls, same with the little sparkle effect on the ghosts. Soundtrack is bumpin and the gameplay is fun and a reasonable difficulty. There's a lot of polish in here and I appreciate that. Really nice game!

Amazing game! Loved the graphics and the sense of humour. The gameplay felt really smooth and polished, and the difficulty fell right on the perfect edge between being too hard and not hard enough. Would have loved to see the endless mode!
A game that tests your reaction speed. I love the art style and music of this game!
This was a really fun entry! I was awful at it, and at first did not understand repeatedly dying but once I realized I wasn't click and was just mousing over, it made things a lot better. Music was great, art was cool, SFX were good, overall great jam entry!
While it never got hard, the difficulty had a nice curve to it. The main improvements for me would be to make it more obvious when you get hurt (some sort of audio like when you pick something up, or similar). I would also make the UI elements significantly larger. I didn't realized there was a HP bar until the second level, and didn't realize there was a a ghost counter until the 4th. Overall though, great game, is was fun!
I really don't have much to say other than this really hit all the marks! The level difficulty went up linearly and didn't jump too hard, but it definitely went from easy to having to really think about my movement! I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that was a complete game developed and released, so the fact it was for a game jam is really impressive. If I had to really dig and search for something to critique, it would be that the music could have a bit more variety. Perhaps having something that builds more as time goes on or you move through the levels akin to Bit Trip Runner. That's really digging, though. I thought this was excellent overall. Nice work!
I really enjoy the vibe of this game. Its very clean and well done. I could have played more of it without a doubt. Really well done.
Really creative idea. Hard not to just want to stick to the centre sometimes. Great sound track and graphics to pair up.
My eyes hurt a little after playing it but the game is nice
really good idea. well done.
Great polish and the soundtrack is also great!
Spooky!
Looks and sounds great, with trails and music being an obvious highlight. Gameplay felt good too, although I wonder about that continuous damage mechanic - maybe it'd be better if skulls dealt damage once on impact, with a forgiving collision radius? I dunno, I enjoyed playing it either way.
Didn't really affect my experience with the game, but the last level seemed to kill my performance as soon as skulls filled the screen, I started taking damage randomly and couldn't pick up ghosts or powerups, so I couldn't complete it. Just letting you know.

amazing music, pleasant visuals and good polishing of effects, I didn't like the monotonous sound of collecting a ghost, it's also cool that the ghosts gather in the main menu, a sticky game for 5 minutes, but it's quite monotonous
Really cool aesthetics, visual effects and music/sound FX. I hope Greg is now satisfied :)
Fun game! It's great that you managed to add a menu with separate volume sliders for music and sound effects. Really nice touch.
Regarding the sound design, I personally think something more casual would fit better. The high-frequency sound that plays every time you collect a spirit is a bit piercing to the ears.
Overall, great job though! Thanks for the game, and best of luck with the rest of the development and your future game jams!
Awesome music -- and I really enjoyed the different levels. Having a sort of character you pilot with WASD / controller would be awesome for this sort of a game, but I definitely enjoyed it as it is.
Really great particle effects throughout, especially in the levels but also the GREG particle on level end is awesome lmao.
Tempting at points to camp and play very slowly - the power-ups make this less good but I think some extra time pressure could be good to keep the pressure on! Maybe health could decrease over time but be refilled by collecting ghosts?
I got baited by the endless mode button :')
Great little game, lots of fun (and I don't normally like bullet-hells). Well done!
