Awesome game!! I'm sorry I was too late to play and rate this due to holidays, but I really enjoyed this one. Great use of the theme, and a very lovely style overall. Kudos to the musician as well for creating this hauntingly beautiful piece. I enjoyed the core mechanic a lot, it felt like the eight ball gave you just enough to have some idea of what the ghost is doing, but still keep it challenging. Clever placement of the objects also helped to make for a fun chase, and getting to see the replay afterwards was just the perfect touch. Excellent work!

Very cute I loved the art style! This has the juice for a really fun party game.
Original hide and seek game ! I like the artwork and the atmospheric music, very chill and fit well wih the aesthetic :)
Congrats!
That was a nice game! Good use of the theme, I liked the art and the implementation of the tips at the beginning of my turn also, pretty unique twist to turn-based. Game was pretty challenging for me but I liked the mental exercise! Well done!
This was a neat take on the theme. A bit of luck and reasoning to win. I got lucky my first run and had a turn where it didn't move when I was close, so got it in 7 turns. I did have an issue when starting where I could not click on the instruction book or fullscreen button after the magic 8 ball showed. Since the game moves directly into that after a few seconds, I'd recommend also putting the instructions on the menu so it can be read before starting.
Looks simple but surprisingly hard to find the ghost, kept it interesting! Well done
Nice! Was a fun and surprisingly challenging game. Very on theme and I liked your unique take on the turn based formula.
Nice game! I really like the graphics and the gameplay was fun, although it's a bit tricky at first. It took me 17 turns to find the ghost.
Great visuals and isometric art. It took me awhile to work out what the magic 8 ball did, but once I did I thought it was quite clever. This is actually a really fun entry, congrats. Nice touch with the replay as well.
This is a really clever game. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but it feels great once you find the ghost. The 'surprise' at the end of the game is super interesting! The art and theming is very cute, but I found the music a bit loop.
I think the 4 controls could be a bit clearer - I initially confused distance and proximity - which caused some frustration/confusion while playing.
Overall, amazing entry, nice work :)
I think you've done a really strong job with this. It fits the theme well, i found the choice of only knowing 1 piece of information about the ghosts location each turn to be fun and all your artwork was really strong. There is a lot of really good work to this.
One thing i thought that could be helpful, is if the ghost occasionally gave an indication as to where it was in the room, such as accidentally knocking something off a table / lights flickering etc.
Thought it was really fun, well done!
The theme is intact and the gameplay is fun, although it takes a lot of time to figure out where the ghost is (which is kinda annoying). Enjoyed the game
Okay, I'm not that smart to find it 50 turns and still didn't found it, gosh I suck, but hell yeah that was a great game, nice graphics nice sound, but the music might be loop to fast, could be maybe more short sound or a long music, for me it sounds a bit repetitive, but you did very great, I love your game GG !
This is a neat idea and fun to play. I really like the replay feature at the end that lets you see how close you were (or weren't) to catching the ghost. I love the art. The music is great and sets the mood really well. I do feel like I have Oregon Trail disease now, though...
