Good game, Liked the fact that some rooms are solved differently depending on where you come from and if you are a ghost or not. The audio is great too.

Good depth for a LD game. Like the changes from ghost to gut and to 'dark'

Really fits the theme well. Nice little platformer, giving me vibes like a cross between the classic original Prince of Persia and La Mulana! Impressed.

Very bad at these types of games but I got a neat Metroidvania vibe. The ghost intro here is **so** solid for the theme! (Similarly mine was supposed to start in complete silence but I axed that during submission hour.)

Amazing fit for the theme. Had a really nostalgic feeling which means max mood score. Really solid game for a 48H compo. Everything about it is great.

Well done with the ghost start, as well as making a nice platformer. This feels very complete for a compo game.

For a fun bug: return to the skeleton after getting your body back =)

Smart take on the theme, and well done. Animations could be improved, but I like the mood and everything fit together really well.

I enjoyed playing through this. The ladder controls were slightly annoying, but I managed to get the hang of it. Of course I didn't get the key before getting to the end, so I had to backtrack! I like the change to dark colors that took place. Combat felt satisfying, although it was maybe too easy? The number of save points were probably also unnecessary, except for where the key had to be picked up. Overall good compo entry.

Very evocative of the gameboy metroid and castelvania. The sound didn't work for me though (on macos, chrome)

This was such an awesome entry. Loved the intro with the ghost, loved the audio and graphics. Really fun platformer and going down memory lane with the old Castlevania games on NES. Really loved this, great job!

I really like this! It's fun and a well-execited (I really like the climbing animation :laughing:). A good level of challenge too, good job!
