I had a lot of fun playing this! It certainly took a lot of time to find the coins but felt rewarding when i could find them. The music/ambience is really well done and fitting for the environment i feel. My only critical thought while playing was that i wished the player ghost had slightly more animation. When controlling them they kinda just feel static. Maybe they could lean in the direction the player moves them in? otherwise great game!

Cool concept, I like the ferryman's spritework quite a bit. Unfortunately, I found the gameplay in its current state a bit boring and tedious. I think more variation in the enemy movements would have been more fun . The map was also too large and it took too long to find the coins, I think I would've preferred some sort of indicator.

Ghost in the SquashThank you! Yes, I'm inclined to agree about the current gameplay. I had more features initially planned or left in the design stage that I'd like to think would have helped. Planning to release a patch for bugs after voting ends, and maybe one final content patch adding in some stuff I didn't have time for, which would include 2-3 more enemies and more landmarks/features in the map generation (like portals) . No indicator for coins was/is planned to enforce the ferryman's lore of your odds, but more ways of attaining coins were that I may add in a patch.
Thanks again for playing and especially for the feedback! I've been keeping a list of bug reports and critique I get so it's all welcome and appreciated. Lastly, I played and rated your game too and really liked it!
