Grrrrrowing by redmassacre

[raw]
made by redmassacre for LD34 (JAM)
Little ghost doesn't want to go to school and to grrrrrrow up.
He wants to search for treasures and be forever young.

Controls.
Left Mouse Button - to send little ghost to the point.
Right Mouse Button - to teleport
R- restart the room
Q- exit the game

You've got 1 minute to raid the castle.
Beware of grrrrrrown-ups.

P.S. I've corrected teleport a little bit after jam
Now the ghost teleports to the mouse direction (not the facing since it's smth simultaneusly correcting due to autopath)

Hey, this game was really good fun to play!

The indirect controls got a little while to get used to but really add to the strategy in playing through the game.

Some entertaining noises, sfx and bgm. I never knew ghosts could growl!

Not bad, I like the concept on how to move, but for me the controls I felt like were messed up. It could just be me, but I felt that my character wouldn't obey my commands. At first I thought it was one of my mice plugged in, so I disconnected one (which crashed the game unexpectedly; don't worry I don't think it would be fair to judge on that and I have not) I see you stuck to the two button control theme; the harder of the two if you ask me, so good job there.

The game has a cool concept, and it's always nice to see a platforming A* like this working :) To me, the controls were kinda frustrating, but they worked. Graphics and SFX are pretty basic. I'd love to see a more polished version of this game!

I like the concept ^^. I love the music. Sometimes controls seems aleatory.

Overall it's a nice game

Cool idea with the pathfinding platform controls. Teleporting felt a bit weird and was a bit hit and miss.

interesting concept -- wondered if you were trying to use both themes here? If so, good work!

Fun game! The controls were creative, but sometimes you wouldnt take the intended path and run in a ghost. Also, the teleport always teleport the side your caracter is looking and not the side you are clicking. But overall very nicely done!

So many games without a web or a mac entry...
Damn I'm missing out! :(

In my oppiniont, the "growing" theme is a bit forced here...

Also, the teleport control feels a bit clunky.

Anyway, great intro and music!

Good idea and gameplay, exciting and enjoyable to play. But sometimes it is not clear what to do.

I was unable to play it properly - the mouse was frozen, unable to move, while the game was running.

Not very clear how he plans the path on left click, but overall a good game!
Keep it up!
