How does your game fit the theme?
When Kelpie dies, she becomes a ghost and goes back to the last checkpoint. As a ghost, her abilities are different so the "end" of her life turns into a new beginning. She can revive by touching her corpse.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Mostly. All assets are original, including music. Other than that, I used a public general purpose library I've been developing for the past few years, but all specific code for this game was written from scratch. Also, I used some free fonts.

Wow I love how this game looks and its mechanics. I'll be awesome if you add more lore to this game cause it looks so interesting and unique. It was a nice surprise to discover that I couldn't be ghost for unlimited time and that the coins had a purpose 👌👌 Congrats 🎉🎉🎉

Damn this is great, only issue is that i sometimes fall through platforms, i.e. the collider probably isnt perfectly aligned with the sprite

Submitted

Really nice unique style and fab graphics and audio! Nice one.

Submitted

It's a unfortunate you ran out of time, such a nice game ^^. I really enjoyed the graphics and sound, the level building was ok and it was decently balanced, I don't know what more to say, nice game, I really enjoyed playing it.

Submitted

Nice and original idea! Had fun playing. Graphics look really well-done and finished and the audio also fits the game nicely. I had some issues with understanding what the ghosts do for example or that there is a timer and also some I was falling through some platforms. Overall good job :)

Submitted

Nice game, I like the unique take of the theme! Graphics and audio are also cool and atmospheric ^^

Submitted

Nice one plz rate mine as well

Beatyfull graphics, nice take in the theme! overall pretty nice game.

Submitted

Wow this is really unique and sooooo adorable! loved the art and the atmosphere.

Great work!

Submitted

This was super cool! The spritework is amazing (the level select screen art is very Sonic) and the gameplay feels really clean. The only two criticisms I have are that the movement of the ghost to the nearest checkpoint when you "die" is a touch slow, and I think it would be good to indicate more clearly that the ghost can interact with buttons by pressing space. Those two small things aside though, this was really good!

Submitted

Wow this is actually a unique mechanic. After you died you can your ghost form to do to solve the puzzle. I love the art and music. The music is really good and well integrate to the game. Please check out my game too.

Great game. The graphics look stunning and machanics are realy cool. the puzzles are also hard so that it makes it a chalenge but not to hard that they are impossible.

great game. keep it up♥

Submitted

Really cool use of the theme.  I liked solving the puzzles as a ghost to progress.  Forced death is always fun.  I did run into one bug when playing with a controller.  The left joystick didn't allow for up and down movement, but the Dpad worked so no harm no foul.  Great job!

Submitted

great game bro

Submitted

Cool game! I like the art style and gameplay concept!

Submitted

Great game, the idea is unique and fun although the puzzles were a bit too hard for me to figure out

Submitted

damn.... you made this HTML? Amazing art and even though the game was a little buggy, the idea is very original and a really cool game.

Submitted

Interesting concept! I kept falling through platforms though and that doesn't seem like it should be happening.

Developer

I just figured out why haha, yeah it shouldn't be happening at all. But it was a misunderstanding I had with Unity's physics system which caused specific colliders to behave incorrectly. Unfortunately since we're during ratings I can't fix it rn but oh well! Thanks for playing

Submitted

A great spin on the theme!

Submitted

I saw you on discord! This was better than I expected(I don't like sidescrolling puzzle games for some reason) Try my game out!
