I have some issues with audio not working in the browser. If you can't here the sound effects, you can try building and running the code yourself or try a different browser.

If you know how to fix audio not playing in the browser, please let me know :)

This is my first Ludum Dare submission, I hope to improve and do better in the future!

This is pretty good! Since you can't go diagonally, it kinda reminded me of the 'ol classic Snake. I could score up to 6 or 7, but eventually a ghost kept appearing right in front of me. I imagine that's just bad luck on my part haha

Very cute and nice game! It's quite rough around the edges as I'm sure you know, but well done. My best score was 55!

The audio worked fine for me on firefox but I had to zoom in manually to make the game bigger. You could add a download option on itch which might help make the audio work idk.

All in all a good first submission.

I got a score of 222!

My eyes hurt a bit after trying to focus on that tiny window :)

I think you do have the basis for a little rage-inducing-but-just-one-more-go mobile game here. The lack of a diagonal on seemingly per-pixel (as opposed to moving on a grid) movement was frustrating, especially when the ghosts don't have that limitation.

If you chose to expand it I would suggest scrapping the keyboard input and have the player run directly towards the mouse cursor / touch position; I think this would introduce "threading the needle" gameplay which can feel quite rewarding.
