  • music is nice and fitting of the theme, it did cut off at some point though. mechanic is fun. it's easy to get stuck on walls, otherwise the movement is good the large box activates the button even when it's well below it i couldn't find how to open the door going north but that is probably a skill issue shame about the frequent crashes

Cool idea in trying to control the detective and the ghost at the same time. Like when the ghost can see secret passage ways and switches that he cant see. The game's collision needs more polishing. because I keep getting stuck on nothing and it's tough trying to move through doors and hallways even though they look wide enough for you to go through.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. That's definitely something we are looking into. I think it has something to do with the tile colliders and not using sprite Atlas. And glad you like the idea :D

ooh, loved the fact that you control 2 characters, had to get used to Space and N though, but that was a minor thing. The game did crash for me as well after a bit. Good job nonetheless, loved the art too!

Developer

Thanks! Our artist would be happy to hear that.

I tried coop with a friend right now and it was pretty fun, the game crashed once unfortunately.

by the way, I think you will may like my game as it have coop features too :)

Developer

I did try your game and it works really well. The enemies were bullet sponges in single player though. Thanks for sharing and trying our game!

Great puzzle game concept. Pixel art is really cute. Nice for co-op or solo players

Developer

Thanks! Our artist worked really hard for the art. He would be happy to hear that :D

The game looks really cool, but, after a few seconds it crashed :(

A two player co-op is a really nice take on the theme tho

Sorry the game crashed. We tried to cram a lot in the game. But after running the game another time (maybe 2) it can run without crashing. Something to do with HTML issue and limitations
