Really like the visual design!

Simple, but the effects/visuals are clean. Cool you programmed it in Rive!

The visuals came together nicely and the gameplay is clear. The close up one is definitely the creepiest. Nice work!

It’s funny how, sitting there half-asleep at night, that scary face actually gave me a fright!

I think what you have done is really well made. The visual effects of the pulse are great. Nice job!

I got jumpscared! You somehow managed to put enough immersion in this 2D game, that I almost jumped from my seat, lol! Nice work!

the art is cool but the game is too easy, you just spam signal and wait for ghost to appear to eliminate it with one click. Is there any failiure of catching a ghost? The paper says yes, but I purposely tried to get one and didn't. The game seems a bit endless with no goal just as simple as "survive as long as you can" since I couldn't even die. Maybe I was waiting for a too small period of time, but then I guess no one will ever lose here, but by his own will. So... not asking for some final gole, but at least for a "lose"

I shouldn't have played it past midnight alone should I?

Good visual design, good experience, the pulse does work and I like how it kind of paced well with a radar sort of timing, it was very intuitive. Definitely the jumpscare experience I wasn't expecting in a game jam!

The ghosts look really cool — they have a great style and stand out nicely. It’s a shame you didn’t have time to fully finish the game, but what’s there already shows a lot of potential.

If you have time, I’d really appreciate it if you could check out my game too!!!

It's even funny for an experiment.

A very simple game, completely uninteresting
