When I hit the boss ( which took a while ).  The controls are really good, but the 1 shot death and long re-spawn is annoying.  It would be nice to have at least a few hearts =) Also fullscreen would be awesome to really show off the art style. Good start."},{"author_name":"ohsqueezy","author_uid":"10718","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:32am","epoch":1429590420,"text":"It took me way too long to get that last shot in!  I enjoyed the challenge and the way you brought together a shmup and platformer.  I could hardly use the wall jumping and teleporting to my advantage, though teleporting is an interesting mechanic for avoiding projectiles.  Fun and challenging entry!"},{"author_name":"Pawige","author_uid":"52287","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:36am","epoch":1429590660,"text":"Awesome!! Loved it all. Great sound, art, music, gameplay. My only complaint is that the hit box on the player feels a little too unforgiving."},{"author_name":"spreadtheflow","author_uid":"51220","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:30am","epoch":1429593900,"text":"An awesome game. Everything is good : graphics, animation, music, challenge ... The teleport mechanism is excellent.\r<br\/>My only complaints are the screen size ( your art are gorgeous! ) and the fact that you have to play the &quot;tutorial&quot; sequence again everytime you die.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Awesome job! There is potential for a full game."},{"author_name":"ChronoDK","author_uid":"10849","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:31am","epoch":1429593960,"text":"Lovely graphics!

I meant to comment that on another game. So here's my comment for this game. This game is too hard. It should have some sort of health bar, or a couple of hearts."},{"author_name":"FractalFox","author_uid":"52540","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 7:53am","epoch":1429602480,"text":"Very addicting and challenging! Good controls, although an optional button layout could be handy! Both the music and the artwork blend nicely with the slick game-play. 1-shot death feels too harsh, maybe explore a life system? I can imagine a strong title emerging from this, well done!"},{"author_name":"Bitterdeath","author_uid":"7698","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 7:57am","epoch":1429602720,"text":"Love the art style and the double teleport is fun."},{"author_name":"tripleVisionGames","author_uid":"12495","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 8:39am","epoch":1429605240,"text":"Amazing graphics and sound! LOVE the music so much! For these and fun you now have 5 stars - felt so satisfying finally killing that thing and seeing it's skull fall off haha"},{"author_name":"ArcturusDeluxe","author_uid":"26098","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:57pm","epoch":1429638720,"text":"Love the presentation, graphics and music are all great.  As for gameplay, you have a good basic idea but its a bit frustrating to play.  Deaths happen too quickly, and it takes too long to get back into the game when you do die.  Being able to aim the souls in a non-orthogonal direction would have been good too.  I really like the teleport though.  Good stuff overall."},{"author_name":"SaintHeiser","author_uid":"14848","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 6:36pm","epoch":1429641060,"text":"Good visuals but game to difficult and I can't understand how to play.

I like the core mechanic here-- very Kirbyish, but a bit more fun. Being able to aim upwards made the fight a bit too easy (and I was a little upset I couldn't make a diagonal).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, minor beef: how come you can't press space twice to just skip to the boss?"},{"author_name":"phi6","author_uid":"29305","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 12:31pm","epoch":1429705560,"text":"Took me a good ten or so tries before I could beat the boss - but really enjoyed it. The controls are a little tricky at first as you can't dash before jumping but didn't take long to get used to. Been looking for good platformers to play since I made one myself, glad I stumbled onto this one. Good job!"},{"author_name":"commodoreKid","author_uid":"39580","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 1:08pm","epoch":1429707780,"text":"Great mechanics. Quite hard to get used to.

The music fits it so well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I wonder if the non-apparentness of 'what to do' is deliberate? It does need the text explanations, but they're somehow not prominent enough as you don't naturally look at the top\/bottom edges. But - having to figure out what to do by trial and error gives a lot of mileage on playing the game, while it sits there looking and sounding gorgeous."},{"author_name":"HapaxStudios","author_uid":"52221","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 11:21pm","epoch":1429744560,"text":"good game, had fun, but as unconventional weapons go.. could seem like the weapon isn't unconventional to killing ghosts. otherwise its an awesome game and keep going with it!! :D"},{"author_name":"NoWandStudios","author_uid":"50652","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 8:17am","epoch":1429776720,"text":"Awesome game!
