You must make a daring escape from a crumbling haunted mansion, but watch out – the eerie halls are teeming with a diverse array of ghosts! Stay cautious and keep this in mind: these spectral beings only spring into action when you do. Can you navigate this spectral maze and flee before it's too late?

Great game!
In some levels the ghosts were a bit too fast though.

I got an error when trying to launch it: "Couldn't load project data at path", where the path is simply ".".

Quite a fun little game, and the theme was implemented very well :)

Fun game. the ghosts where hard to dodge but that was in line with the gameplay and the counter at the top.

Windows build doesn't seem to work. I think you need the `.pck` file and possibly the data folder as well.

wow some levels are reaaaally hard ^^' i hope it's not based exclusively on framerate. Is the character based on something? it look eerily familiar. Haha nice entry

fun little game, besides me getting stuck on the 3 fast moving area. I have a feeling I'm meant to press jump right as the level loads but everytime it does, them move ever so slightly forward stopping me from making the jump xD I really liked the shrinking down animation though

I really enjoyed this. The moving of the game and you at the same time reminded me a lot of Super Hot. Fun concept! Well done.

I beat it with a death count of 33! It was a fun game with interesting platforming! I won't lie, I didn't use the slowdown very much though. There was one level with 3 fast ghosts that forced me to use the slowdown to line up my jump to thread the needle - I would love to see more of that! Overall, a fun platformer with an interesting idea.

interesting concept - felt like the purple ghosts were not framerate independent. liked the concept, would play more

Very impressive for a first time gamejam entry. The level about speeding ghosts is very creative. good job!
