~~plz fix this looks like fun! The graphics look intriguing~~
The aesthetic is great! The sounds effects go well with it too. The narrative is decent too, I'm really impressed by how polished the art is. You also have a wonderful tutorial that a lot of LD entries are missing.
This is a great submission!
The jump detection might have a minor error. looking forward to its improvement!
先说亮点，美术风格真的惊艳到我了，能看出在细节上花了很多心思。玩法上操作手感也很舒服，没有那种敷衍的感觉，能感受到开发者是在认真做一个“好玩”的游戏，而不是应付了事。
当然，作为独立小团队的作品，肯定还有打磨空间，但核心乐趣已经非常足了。最让我佩服的是，你们把[某个有创意的想法]真的落地做出来了，这比很多空有想法的大项目都强。
希望更多人能试试这款游戏，它值得被看到
Very cute and soothing style. The animations in the game are very smooth. I really like it! The music also matches the style well. Highly recommended!
A heartwarming little game with a very soothing art style. The early tutorials are quite helpful, and you can quickly figure out how to play. The only downsides are the slightly strict jump detection and the fact that I sometimes don't have enough time to switch between Q and E after the bubbles pop (I found that frantically alternating between Q and E is a foolproof way to beat the game). The Q/E switch in the upper left corner is very smooth. The scenes are quite detailed; if some of the backgrounds had a fade-in/fade-out transition, it would be even more immersive! The little ghost animation is adorable, and the Polaroid camera element is a nice touch. This kind of page transition keeps the game visually engaging. I love the line that the place where I died and the place where I was born are only a few floors apart.However, some font choices look a bit out of place. For example, the flowing fonts in Settings make it feel like I've stumbled into a horror game.
Sometimes I failed in the levels while trying to understand what was happening in the story, phrase by phrase.
Sometimes I felt that the blue bubbles weren't revealing themselves when firing the search signal, but it might just be my skill failing.
However, good game, beautiful graphics and very pleasant audio.
I liked it!
我个人游玩后发现的小问题也有一些，看到评论区别的老师也都有提到，比如QE交互，一些地方的字体选择有点像恐怖游戏，还有跳跃判定严苛等。
然后可能因为是我显示器分辨率的原因，有些地方的字体会乱飘或者超出框框；另一个我觉得的设计问题是剧情文字，之前玩幽灵行者的时候也是同感，一边操控一边看文字真的很难，尤其是你需要全神贯注盯着屏幕前方随时出现的气泡，我的注意力完全在游玩上，根本来不及看剧情QAQ。。。好悲伤，我的脑子不允许我双线程工作。或许改一下QE的操控方式，让游戏难度降低，会让玩家能分出更多注意力在文字上！
但是这都不妨碍这是一部优秀的作品，我依然觉得大家都应该试玩一下，嗯嗯小幽灵就是如此的萌之。
Such an incredible piece… the art style is breathtaking. The animations, sound effects, music, and environments are all very polished, and even features like settings and pause interactions are fully implemented. The length of the experience feels just right. What I loved most was the tutorial—it guides you step by step on how to play, which is incredibly thoughtful. You basically understand everything immediately after playing. It’s amazing to think this was all made in just 72 hours—I really love it.
I did notice a few minor issues during my playthrough, and it seems others in the comments have pointed them out as well—things like the QE interactions, some font choices that feel a bit like they belong in a horror game, and fairly strict jump detection.
Also, this might just be due to my monitor resolution, but in some places the text appears misaligned or goes outside the text box. Another design concern for me is the narrative text. I had the same feeling when playing *Ghostrunner*—trying to read while actively controlling the character is really difficult, especially when you have to stay fully focused on what’s happening ahead and react to pop-ups at any moment. My attention is completely on the gameplay, and I just can’t keep up with the story at the same time… it’s kind of frustrating, my brain just can’t multitask like that QAQ. Maybe adjusting the QE controls or slightly lowering the difficulty could help players free up more attention for the text.
That said, none of this takes away from how great the game is. I still think it’s absolutely worth trying—also, the little ghost is just way too cute.
The tutorial is slow and boring.
the gameplay is clear and easy to get into, but even with two tutorials i still managed to get confused with the controls sometimes haha
the easiest strategy for me was just jumping over bubbles and collecting coins. coins! after playing dozens of ld games, this is the first time i’ve seen them, and it actually works really well.
overall, good game, nice work!
音乐和美术真是无可挑剔，很喜欢！
