Very nice puzzles :D

Niedliches Spiel! Erstes Level hat mir gut gezeigt, was der Geist kann. Zweites Level hat mir gezeigt, dass, wenn ich in eine Grube falle, ich von vorne anfangen muss...

Developer

Danke fürs Spielen und für dein Feedback! Hoffe die Erfahrung im zweiten Level war nicht zu schlimm ._."

This is honestly exactly the kind of game I personally really enjoy! One suggestion I’d definitely have is to restart only the current level after failing, rather than restarting the entire game. The level design is intuitive enough that you don’t really need a big tutorial, which I actually really like.

Developer

Thank you for playing! We are really happy that you enjoyed our game!
We pondered wether to restart the level or the whole game, but as its rather short at the moment, we decided to reset the game, so our narative with the two endings is somewhat more fitting. But I see were you are comming from and if we further develope our game we will definitly change it. Thank you for your feedback!

Great execution on your idea, engaging level design and cute characters! Would've loved a level selection screen.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game and for the lovely feedback!
You're right, maybe we will add it in the future :)

very nice sound design and cool idea to split the mind and body into two characters, very theme-fitting  :) 

Developer

Thank you for playing! And thanks for your feedback! Our sound designeris is really happy that someone noticed his hard work :D

Süßes Spiel, mich hat das erste Level zwar zwei Anläufe gebraucht bis ich kapiert habe das ich mit dem Geist durch die Gitter gehen kann aber dann lief alles super

Developer

Danke fürs Spielen! Freut mich, dass es dann doch geklappt hat :)

Tolle Grafik und super Soundtracks, sowie klasse Mechaniken. Echt toll was das Entwicklerteam in so kurzer Zeit geschafft hat. Das Spiel macht echt Spaß :). ( Falls Classic+ kommt -> Für die Horde!) ;-)

The visuals are not bad. Would have liked it to be a bit brighter, but s small complaints.

The puzzle and the mechanics are ok. In the third level I think it would have been nicer to know which buttons activate which door so you can orient yourself better. I’m not sure what the timer was for. It seemed very short and reset your level repeatedly. It feels pretty bad if you run out of heart or fell into a trap door and have to reset the whole game instead of retrying the level.

Overall I like the atmosphere but the gameplay could be improved.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!
The timer can be reseted/stopped if the ghost stands on a spirit platform, so you have time to plan your way through the puzzle and explore which button activates which mechanic :)

Good game, I liked the character switching mechanic!

The traps were not really needed, as they did nothing really harmful and were not explained. Maybe removing them would have been a better idea. If anyone´s stuck, try going through the metal bars as a ghost ;)

Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you for playing and your feedback!
The traps may kill you and you will get the other (bad happy) ending, and if you get through all three levels you get the good happy ending :)

I couldn't get past the first level. Either I was missing something, or the trigger wasn't working. I would step on the solid blue tile to make the bookcase go down, move my physical character onto the purple circle, but could never get the ghost to go into that room because the bookcase prevented it.

Developer

I'm sorry to hear that.
If you have the time I would appreciate it if you try it again. The ghost can move through the bars and both characters must stand on the purple platform to advance to the next level.

Submitted

Oh thank you for the tip! Love the difficulty of the puzzles and the quick thinking required. Also great music/art for the ambience.

Very well done on the switch player mechanism; the trigger of the damage area is slightly bigger than my personal preference, but we can see a lot of potential to build on various enemies and characters.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game and your feedback!
Yeah that was something we also noticed but the time was tight and other problems were of higher priority :D
If enough people like our game, maybe we will continue the development :)

Really really nice graphics and it doesn't seem unfinished like lots of games. The gameplay is nicely done, but it does get repetetive fast, since there aren't a lot of mechanics added past a certain point. 

Developer

Thank you for your feedback and the kind words!
Our 3D artist is especially happy that someone appreciated her work :)
