How does your game fit the theme?
In most games, the player is alive. But in this one, they're dead.
It's also a puzzle game, so the player must think outside the box.

Great puzzle design!! Haven't had a puzzle game actually stump me like this in a while. Got all the way to the last puzzle room in the castle but couldn't figure out how to get my real body across the gap. Still got to see the church in my ghost form tho! I think a save system would be a great add, so whenever players wanna take a break, they can always come back and try again without having to start all over again.
If we develop the game further (I think we will), a save system is one of our top priorities. Also, I made an oversight designing that last room such that getting the body to the end in impossible. Sorry :( but good job on making it to the end!
Remind me of Super {RED PLUMBER} Odyssey, that's how fun it is
super creative! and also *very* funny premise. my only issue is that I wish the boxes were easier to get into the right position. A one-pixel error and you couldn't slide onto the next part, and the controls are pretty sensitive. Also yayyy godot!
Absolutely great game, how does this only have 4 votes? One of the best-made puzzle games I have seen here!
I did manage to softlock myself in a pit in the castle, and the physics of the boxes could be weird on stairs. But other than those, and some doors starting unlocked, I couldn't find any issues.
Well done, and I hope many, many more people find this game before the jam ends!
I love the concept of this game, having to lug around your own dead body while you as a ghost have almost total freedom of movement is such a good puzzle setup. I unfortunately was not able to get very far; I got stuck before the 4th hut. I couldn't figure out how to get to the possessable shapes on the platform to the left of the ladder. should I be able to move sideways while floating in the air or is there another way to get up to that platform? I had some additional trouble because not long after getting stuck the game started stuttering. I tried running the game a few times and got the stuttering in different places.
When you begin floating and press a direction, you are locked to that axis. For example, if I began floating upwards, then I could only float up and down until I stop floating, touch the ground, and start another float.
This means that you can't approach the platform you're talking about from the right. I suggest going to the previous room and approaching from the left.
As for the stuttering, I do not know.
Great pixel art and a smart game. Lot of good custom stuff here. Congrats and good luck.
I don’t think I’m smart enough for this game lol, overall tho, it’s pretty good! I like the story, even if there’s no actual words, took me a while to just get to the castle, but there’s so many rooms in there that I just got lost. Overall, great game regardless!
