Even though the first seconds were a bit confusing, once you get it, you can see how clever the idea is. It is one of my favourite entries so far!
Maybe the use of the colors is a bit confusing at first.
Could you please upload your source code aswell?
It gave me Hotline Miami vibes! At first, I thought that my "ghosts" were just ghost, but I was surprised that they can interact with the real world, at this moment I was blown away, so clever for a puzzle action game!
Overall very nice work, keep it up!
Was the game coded from scratch ? The build does not look like something done with an engine
I really do think this is one of the best games I've seen this jam. This is definitely in my top ten. Thank you!
Polish is awesome. Maybe next time don't pick the color palette labeled "worst of the CGA era".
But really good for a jam! Well done!
Might would suggest to make the main character a bit different colour, to make it more visible.
The puzzles are fun! Would love to see more!
Thanks for submitting your game!
I love how tight and concise this one was. No unnecessary fluff. Just a solid, easy to understand mechanic with just enough polished content to show it off. I can also see this getting expanded into a full game given a longer timeline than a game jam weekend. Best of luck on this one, it was super cool!
The mechanic was really cool and I love how your ghosts look. In this LD version, I feel like I didn't have to think too much about the mechanic or use it efficiently, but it's a really cool proof of concept with a lot of breadth for expansion. Thanks for the game!

@skyeward Yo, thanks for playing! So many people wanted more levels of this, so I'll definitely look into expanding it!
