The main improvements for me would be to make it more obvious when you get hurt (some sort of audio like when you pick something up, or similar). I would also make the UI elements significantly larger. I didn't realized there was a HP bar until the second level, and didn't realize there was a a ghost counter until the 4th.

The level difficulty went up linearly and didn't jump too hard, but it definitely went from easy to having to really think about my movement! I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that was a complete game developed and released, so the fact it was for a game jam is really impressive. If I had to really dig and search for something to critique, it would be that the music could have a bit more variety. Perhaps having something that builds more as time goes on or you move through the levels akin to Bit Trip Runner. That's really digging, though. I thought this was excellent overall.

Gameplay felt good too, although I wonder about that continuous damage mechanic - maybe it'd be better if skulls dealt damage once on impact, with a forgiving collision radius? I dunno, I enjoyed playing it either way.\n\nDidn't really affect my experience with the game, but the last level seemed to kill my performance as soon as skulls filled the screen, I started taking damage randomly and couldn't pick up ghosts or powerups, so I couldn't complete it.

It's great that you managed to add a menu with separate volume sliders for music and sound effects.

The high-frequency sound that plays every time you collect a spirit is a bit piercing to the ears.\n\nOverall, great job though!

He collects spirits. But not just any spirit. He only wants the most unique, the most colorful, the most unlike himself. What's the point of a skull guy collecting more skulls? No! He fears skulls.\n\nThis is a bullet hell game where you have to avoid the skulls while collecting ghosts. Simply move your mouse and have a blast! Thanks for playing :)\n\n![bannerscreenies.png](\/\/\/raw\/052\/d2\/z\/6e4c1.png)\n\n### Team ###\nProgramming & SFX : [Viktor](https:\/\/bluepinstudio.com\/)\n\nArtist:[Axel](https:\/\/axelmakesstuff.itch.io\/)\n\nGreg: [Keely](https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2267230\/Chicken_Scratch\/)\n\nMusic: [Manisha](https:\/\/www.wannibestudios.com\/)\n\nIf you have performance issues on web, download the standalone builds below! \n\n![tinytransparent.png](\/\/\/raw\/052\/d2\/z\/6e47c.png)","title":"Greg gathers ghosts because that's what he loves the most","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/422501+422502+422503+422504+422505+422506+422507+422508+422509+422510+422511+422512+422513+422514+422515+422516+422517+422518+422519+422520+422521+422522+422523+422524+422525+422526+422527+422528+422529+422530+422531+422532+422533+422534+422535+422536+422537+422538+422539+422540+422541+422542+422543+422544+422545+422546+422547+422548+422549+422550+422551+422552+422553+422554+422555+422556+422557+422558+422559+422560+422561+422562+422563+422564+422565+422566+422567+422568+422569+422570+422571+422572+422573+422574+422575+422576+422577+422578+422579+422580+422581+422582+422583+422584+422585+422586+422587+422588+422589+422590+422591+422592+422593+422594+422595+422596+422597+422598+422599+422600+422601+422602+422603+422604+422605+422606+422607+422608+422609+422610+422611+422612+422613+422614+422615+422616+422617+422618+422619+422620+422621+422622+422623+422624+422625+422626+422627+422628+422629+422630+422631+422632+422633+422634+422635+422636+422637+422638+422639+422640+422641+422642+422643+422644+422645+422646+422647+422648+422649+422650+422651+422652+422653+422654+422655+422656+422657+422658+422659+422660+422661+422662+422663+422664+422665+422666+422667+422668+422669+422670+422671+422672+422673+422674+422675+422676+422677+422678+422679+422680+422681+422682+422683+422684+422685+422686+422687+422688+422689+422690+422691+422692+422693+422694+422695+422696+422697+422698+422699+422700+422701+422702+422703+422704+422705+422706+422707+422708+422709+422710+422711+422712+422713+422714+422715+422716+422717+422718+422719+422720+422721+422722+422723+422724+422725+422726+422727+422728+422729+422730+422731+422732+422733+422734+422735+422736+422737+422738+422739+422740+422741+422742+422743+422744+422745+422746+422747+422748+422749+422750+422751+422752+422753+422754+422755+422756+422757+422758+422759+422760+422761+422762+422763+422764+422765+422766+422767+422768+422769+422770+422771+422772+422773+422774+422775+422776+422777+422778+422779+422780+422781+422782+422783+422784+422785+422786+422787+422788+422789+422790+422791+422792+422793+422794+422795+422796+422797+422798+422799+422800+422801+422802+422803+422804+422805+422806+422807+422808+422809+422810+422811+422812+422813+422814+422815+422816+422817+422818+422819+422820+422821+422822+422823+422824+422825+422826+422827+422828+422829+422830+422831+422832+422833+422834+422835+422836+422837+422838+422839+422840+422841+422842+422843+422844+422845+422846+422847+422848+422849+422850+422851+422852+422853+422854+422855+422856+422857+422858+422859+422860+422861+422862+422863+422864+422865+422866+422867+422868+422869+422870+422871+422872+422873+422874+422875+422876+422877+422878+422879+422880+422881+422882+422883+422884+422885+422886+422887+422888+422889+422890+422891+422892+422893+422894+422895+422896+422897+422898+422899+422900+422901+422902+422903+422904+422905+422906+422907+422908+422909+422910+422911+422912+422913+422914+422915+422916+422917+422918+422919+422920+422921+422922+422923+422924+422925+422926+422927+422928+422929+422930+422931+422932+422933+422934+422935+422936+422937+422938+422939+422940+422941+422942+422943+422944+422945+422946+422947+422948+422949+422950+422951+422952+422953+422954+422955+422956+422957+422958+422959+422960+422961+422962+422963+422964+422965+422966+422967+422968+422969+422970+422971+422972+422973+422974+422975+422976+422977+422978+422979+422980+422981+422982+422983+422984+422985+422986+422987+422988+422989+422990+422991+422992+422993+422994+422995+422996+422997+422998+422999+423000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/ce\/ce400310c0382e344ca583a7db9beada195b0a3e7e5efbe8d9602c34066c9d7d","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/2ac5e66af7556804fcf3fe13893248aa5b895e84a82da014bfa7983d3590c4e0.json","sha256":"ce400310c0382e344ca583a7db9beada195b0a3e7e5efbe8d9602c34066c9d7d","source":"https","stored_at":1784022537}}
