This was fun to play :)

My only complaint is at first I wasn't quite sure what was part of the map and what was obstacles to avoid but I got the hang of it after a bit.

Nice! The last level was tough :D It took me a while to realize that I should collect the souls, not avoid them. Also I'm not sure what they are for. But I enjoyed it anyway!

Loved the art in your game, it seemed very polished and I like the parallax. The theme was very cool and the mood was set very well by the music and graphics. Overall cool game, good job!

A cute flash-like game with rather brutal obstacles :)

Cool, fun simple game! Would love to see it polished and with more advanced features like upgrades, more abilities, etc.
Hint for future players - some ghosts are reachable only when using the C ability ;)

Great entry! Got down to my last life on the last level so it got tense as I tried to stay alive! Loved the art too!

Nice little game you made there! Controls and gameplay were intuitive and worked well. I made the mistake of dodging the souls at first since I thought they were just obstacles, turns out I am just blind and didn't read the part where I need to collect them xD

Cute game! Some obstacles seem a bit impossible but overall, nice!

the music is great but i guess not self made as you opted out of audio? the game is also fun but at times a bit unfair as obstacles can spawn at the same place as souls and also spawn in a way that will block your path completely other than that nice and fun gameplay :)

Nice atmosphere, clean presentation. The souls could have a little flash or sparkle animation to draw player's eye, especially when they're hidden near the bottom of the screen. I would like a little more feedback on the level select screen as well. I assumed they get harder (and learned as much), but a "difficulty "rating" or something and a checkmark if you've completed them would have been nice for a sense of progress. As is, since it doesn't seem to remember your progress, they're more like a difficulty selection screen without descriptions.

Really enjoyed it, very cute, loved the theme! The music was also very good. I did have a tough time reading the UI, scaling it up about 50% would have really helped.

Nice and competent. Cute. The only major issue I ran into was the jerky way the frames progressed across the screen. I could see the tombstones moving in steps across.

Very simple yet fun and visually appealing! I enjoyed this game even though the spawning felt too random and chaotic at times, the art style is really nice I like the foreground layer idea as well. I wish this had more mechanics to it, but I think it's great as it is, nice job!

Cute game! The parallax with the background worked very well, and the obstacles were all quite obvious. It was a little hard to tell what the souls were for, but they looked cute so I picked them up anyways.
