Outside of the boss fight, there was no noticeable difference between the different masks, and the combat against waves of ghosts wasn't really all that interesting - it really just boiled down to hammering the spacebar and occasionally turning around to cover your back.\rI am fairly impressed by the number of art assets in this game, though.

It's always nice getting to the end of LD-games and it's a hard thing balancing a game when you are so stressed about just completing it. I solved the final boss, since I was too stressed about staying alive, but just waiting for the correct mask-matching to come up. \rThe music and graphics were really nice. I think the sound FX were a bit loud though. Especially since the game started without music and only the very harsh effects it felt a bit rough (and since the volume on my speakers was quite high I got a bit scared). \rThe play-instructions could maybe just show up around the character the first seconds of play rather than at a separate screen.
