How does your game fit the theme?
When you die you loop back in time to the start of the fight, but you are not alone because the ghosts of your last attempts will be there to aid you.

This game fits the theme very well and the concept is awesome! Also the music and sound effects goes great with the game, i had fun playing this :)
This is a solid jam entry that makes good use of the theme.
I agree with the squirrel fan that planning the combo moves is a really good idea.
I would have preferred it if the game leaned more heavily into that direction.
I made a decent amount of progress just by having more and move knights spamming attack.
i LOVE the idea of trying to plan move ahead for your other "turns" (past you).

Really creative take on the ghost mechanic — super original! The art and music are great too. I did feel the SFX were a bit loud compared to the music, a sound menu would’ve helped. Also, the learning curve felt a bit steep at the start. But overall, very impressive and well done!
Thanks a lot!
I wasn't able to find the time to add sound options and to do better balancing unfortunately haha but I am glad you enjoyed it!
Wow super creative approach to the whole ghosts do the things you did before. I really really love it kudos!
I would have really liked a sound menu, because the music was banging but the sound effects were a little to loud so I had to turn the whole volume down.
I found it a little hard to really strategize maybe a gentler curve might have been an easier entry. Like first you have a max of 2 guys and just 1 Job and then you increase those values as it goes on?
This game has some serious depth to it and it is just so so innovative. The art is amazing, the soundtrack is awesome. Again really amazing work!
Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback!
I unfortunately ran a bit out of time so I wasn't able to add a sound menu and the balancing could have been better haha.
Man do I know that feeling... During one of my playtesting my sound got way too loud because of a bug. I was able to fix the bug but was so paranoid I lowered the overall volume so that if you play my game with 100% Volume it sounds not too loud. But most people don't have their computers master volume at 100%... So now I think a lot of people now miss that I have sound at all 💔
I didn't expect the game to be this good! The visuals and soundtracks are just perfect for the game, nicely done!
Thanks for playing!
This game is a hidden gem, I was confused at first because there is a lot of text, but once I understood this was really fun. I was happy to see that there was more then 1 boss.
Thanks a lot for trying it out!
Artwork hits hard, and the concept is simple, but well executed. Unfortunately, I was unable to complete it as I ran out of memory right before defeating the third (and I assume last) enemy. Overall really good experience and super on theme.
Hey thanks a lot for trying it out! Also was the memory issue because of the game?
No idea, you could have a memory leak somewhere, but unless other people experience that issue I wouldn’t worry about it.
