However, after you reach the &quot;win&quot; state I recommend removing the ghost's health meter that way the player does not die after winning unless that was intended. On a final note, the children sometimes get stuck in the bottom left corner of the map if you chase them towards it. Other than that I had a blast playing the game, great work!"},{"author_name":"aeai","author_uid":"15206","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 9:15pm","epoch":1440623400,"text":"I like that the kids try to swim in the water, it was a nice touch.
