The Spooky Ghost by DefectiveMelon
Oh no! You're dead! Take your revenge by haunting your foes and using their own bodies against them. Jump on enemies' heads as a ghost to take them over. Find the key and escape the dungeon.
Controls:
ASD to move
SPACE to jump
Jump on heads to haunt enemies
W to access doors
H to throw knives(when haunting a ninja)
J to leave body and become a ghost again
T to respawn
ESC to Restart the level
Mac build is untested. I couldn't get the HTML5 build to run properly, so, sorry Chrome users.
------------Stuff-----------------
I didn't get to finish anywhere near what I wanted, but it's ok. I actually made everything myself this time around and I'm pretty proud of that.
I used cgMusic for the song and Bfxr for sound effects.
Paint.net for all graphics
And Unity for the game.

Jumping has some glitches though, in some cases you can float in mid-air by moving towards a wall as you are falling next to it.
The camera - when I was supposed to go down to a platform, I kept jumping the impossible jump and dying because I couldn't see the platform that's out of the screen.
Indication of death - dying and sending me back to the beginning and going into a door looks exactly the same. That's kinda broken.
Restarting isn't restarting because the enemies (i.e. your resources) remain gone - that's jarring and weird.
I can possess enemies... Except the skeleton. Why? No indication of why + the impossible to tell death means I tried it many times and was confused as hell.
Lack of direction - I almost completely missed the fact that when you're small you can go through the tiny gap to the right. That's frustrating, you needed to teach players that first.
Really interesting, but too many problems to be enjoyable. Hope you polish this up!
The ghost-processing-enemies idea in general is neat.
Apart from this, I quite liked the layout of the levels. They were nicely done and put me in mind of Rolo to the Rescue. Good stuff!
