I made a video of your game. It is at the 2:13 mark of this video.

Really liked the game boy color style. Enemy seems to get stuck on the top left corner tho it seems, so it makes it a little too easy. I'd say randomizing the position where the cherries spawn would be a nice addition too, keep somewhat fresh in different attempts. Anyway, a short and fun experience. Well done.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep it in mind for future updates after the jam period.

Great little game! I completed the first level and it doesn't seems to advanced me to the next level, though.

Thanks for playing! Seems like a little oversight snuck in, so I'll be sure to address it after the jam period ends.

Does the game have more than one level? I completed the first level, talked to the cat, and got to a cutscene where the player was racing back and forth against a ghost. I couldn't proceed afterwards. I would've loved to see more of the game. 

Still, this is a good jam submission. Nice work on your game! 

Developer

Thanks for playing! Each level is roughly the same, but the ghost increases speed, similar to old arcade games. Perhaps in a future update I'll add some more levels, or maybe a larger world like Luigi's Mansion.

Fun small little game. Very nostalgic and cool. Maybe a few more mechanics would be fun?

Developer

Thanks for playing! I was going for a Pac Man style survival game so I didn't think there would be room for too many more mechanics, but in the future, I'm thinking of adapting this to a Luigi's Mansion style game, which would open up more gameplay options.

cool gam i like the style. would be cool if the ghosts moved around a little more rather than just sitting on the one cherry, having to go through the tutorial eveytime is a little rough and i think if the paths could be slightly wider i got stuck a few times. but great little game!
