"Double from another bubble" peak writing as a writer i have been shamed XD

Such a unique game I like it a lot! The puzzles are well designed and have good variety. They aren't too hard but are challenging enough to be engaging. The character art is unusual but in a good way. Music is also really nice, complements the aesthetic well. The boss was really cool too and I really liked the end screen with all the achievements and the cat. The cat is cute.

If I had to criticize something it would be that it's often hard to tell where the players and everything else's colliders are. Many times I was just hoping that the ghost wouldn't hit me or that I fit into a gap.

Walls are the true foes here! It's a melancholic game with pretty cute characters, although I had trouble with the commands. A gamepad would come in handy. 👻

Some pretty cool mechanic ideas here, and I find the characters quite charming! Thanks for joining the jam :)

Very nice idea and concept, reminds me of the Fran Bow mechanics somehow and the whole changing states to complete the challenges, although I had trouble when it comes to gaming. I barely made it to level 3 haha. I'm aware this can be a me issue but moving was the most complicated, since the ghost is very fast and sometimes didn't follow me or i had issues with the objects, I also missed soundtracks. The idea is very good and I wish i made it to other levels haha, i really like the puzzles and the logic you need to have when it comes to passing walls and interactions like running from the ghost, the objects interactions also adds a lot to it. Keep going!!

Good puzzle game ! I think you could make the character move a bit faster to make it more smooth. Good handmade design too, having another font would be the icing on the cake. Good job !

I really like the puzzle element, though I was unable to get the ghost anywhere since I was a bit too slow to guide them without them getting stuck in a wall. I'm very curious about the other levels. Looks nice!

Thanks for playing and for the good idea, next time i will add a level select.

Hooked by the puzzle element — super fun all the way through. Level 9 was very challenging (the ghost even followed me without standing still!). The finale was great!

I couldn’t figure out how to restart from the victory screen, so I could not try to get all achievements.

Developer

Thanks for playing.  I didnt add a restart button, F5 works just as good as the achievements are supposed to be done in one run..

Great gameplay loop and very novel puzzle concepts. Movement was a bit frustrating, maybe a bit faster. The atmosphere your game created was wonderful.

Developer

thank you. the slow movement was annoying but i didnt want it to be to easy. maybe i should have sped everything up.

Submitted

Only a bit, just enough to not be frustrating. Your logic about making too easy is sound.

sadly the ghost didnt really follow me Ë™â— Ë™
buuut i love the idea

You need to stop and you must be alive (white) and the ghost will head to the spot you stopped on.

Also walls stop the ghost.
