Neat concept, though it often ends up boiling down to standing somewhere, holding the button, then dying, and could be further improved if timing was more crucial more often. Still, very cool idea, and especially neat aesthetic.

I was a bit confused at first, but the game quickly became a lot of fun. The ghost mechanic is really cool and very well used throughout the levels. I also really liked the music!

Metallic RefrainVery fun game, Love the mechanic of the dead ghost. One thing I would nitpick on it that having an interact sign when I close to the button would be nice. Other then that good job dude

Shmup (Over and Over)Being limited in the number of ghost you can make, and the fact that that using certain death spots blocks the makes this a more interesting looping death puzzle.
I kind of wish the timer was more precise for planning the more complex loops.
There's a minor bug on the web rendering that makes the "E" prompt look like an F. (I think the bottom line of pixels gets cut). It's probably worth just doing a small patch for that so you don't get stuck if you didn't read the instructions properly.

Lightspeed Loopthanks, and yep thats fair. the timer was one of the last things added and does need some better precision. the web rendering stuff is just a result of us lacking testing on the webgl version since again we did that last second, and unfortunately i didnt take into account some rendering quirks there, so the pixels get squished down
Reminds me of an old flash game I used to play way back in the day, which I loved. Good theming here with a good core mechanic, very fun!

Groove LoopThe idea of having a timer to die to turn into a ghost is really creative
