I loved the dress up concept and dungeon crawling aspect of this game, and it was also cool that there was procedural generation, especially for a game jam entry!! Would have loved if there was visual or audio feedback when the enemies got hit!
I love how ridiculous (in a good way) the main character looks with the mismatched parts collected. Also had a good laugh with the collecting mechanic. It's realistic in a way, when your hands are too full to hold everything XD Game is really fun.
i enjoyed this game! the movement felt pretty slippery, though. i think it also would've benefitted from some feedback when shooting enemies, like a sound effect or the enemy flashing when hit. a very cute premise, though, and i loved how goofy my little ghost looked at the end. i think it's pretty unique, and with some polish it could be something really special!
I liked getting the tentacle arm. I moved really quickly across the map though, and went into other rooms by mistake
Wasn't expecting a roguelite dress-up game! Dungeon diving to get more pieces to impress our date was fun!
Having a HP bar for enemies or some kind of hit-flash would be a nice touch for the game.
Would love to see more of it.
Concept was a lot of fun! I like the idea of the loot drops being something that gives you options for the dress up game portion. I think my main gripes are related to game feel where the collisions didn't feel quite right and the character's movement felt too fast. Things better telegraphed with sound cues could be helpful as well. Balance wise, I don't think I ever felt like I needed for anything so it could be a little more challenging as well. I liked the transitions between the rooms and variety of silly cosmetics.
Thanks for playing! Yeah, I didn't have the time to balance stuff, just wanted to put the concept out there 😅
And about the deceiving collisions, apparentally I accidentally moved the just the sprite and not the collisions of some objects, big blunder! I'm already looking into better ways of handling the mechanics I bruteforced lmao
Thanks for the feedback!
This was so much fun, I would have definitely played more if there was more content. With more polish and content I could spend hours playing a game like this. Make it a twinstick on gamepad and my life is over. I need to collect all the bodyparts and date all the ghost.
It took me a bit to understand how to pickup items, I expected them to be collected automatically and I wasn't initially visually clear on what's a pickup and what's background art. And it made me sad when I'd accidentally end my day when I was intending to pick up something, because I wanted to collect EVERYTHING.
Now let me show you how to win a ghost's heart:
Stylish! Thanks for playing! We originally planned for 3 weeks, with different enemies/areas/dates, but we quickly realized that was pretty much impossible lol, too big of a scope. The controls are a bit unintuitive, I'll handle that in a better way next time!
Very fun concept! Took me a while to figure out how to pick things up but once I did, I was date ready!
Thanks for playing! Yeah, things are a bit unintuitive at times. I'll try highlighting the interactable stuff when you're nearby next time, maybe showing a sprite of the interact button? Thanks for the feedback!
I like the combination of combat and dressing up.
Thanks! I think our greatest inspiration was TBoI, collecting weird stuff on combat and all.
I love the concept ! This as some real potential, it's quirky and cute, the combination of combat and dessing up for a date is so fun ! I loved seeing my little ghost sitting at a table with their 4 eyes and weird limbs collected being like "I hope she likes me" at the end, well done !
Thanks for playing! Yeah, the potential combinations of pieces at the end always got a slight giggle out of me lol
My favorite is going full squeleton, with a wig!
The concept and the art style are funny and adorable.
I would love to see this game on a more polished level.
Thank you for playing! It would be cool to revisit this one without the gamejam clock so I can balance and polish things further, like more dates? Almost a roguelike lol
