Haha, really nice game. I enjoyed it. The art is lovely and the dialogue was pretty fun. I liked the 4 powers that you can use, my favorite was the ghost dash. It's fun to jump around. :D
Also, the story ending was fun.
I really loved how the level to the west of town is kind of like a puzzle level where you don't fight anyone but just need to find the correct path.
Good job! :)

I am from Bulgaria and here Kolega means "colleague" so that was pretty funny as well. You made me smile a bunch of times with your game. :)

I loved the weird visual style and humor. I probably encountered 2 bugs: 1. For some reason, after picking up an item, the tooltip broke (Screenshot). 2. (I'm not sure if this is a bug) After I drank beer at the end of the game it froze.

Very charming little game. Really enjoyed the art and humor and the variety of game play kept it interesting.
As for feedback, I think the game could have been much smoother with some simplified controls like having all the creatures abilities be condensed into 1 button instead of having their own separate button.
I'm not sure if it's intentional, but the game also crashed at the end. Which I thought made for a cool effect actually.

Solid little adventure!

Nice art, but I could not use `F` on the ghost for some reason.

I liked the visual style, which is somewhat similar to the Lisa game, and the share of humor also dilutes the game.
