A nice game! Liked the visuals and the UI of the game! The game has replay value with the upgrades. Just like the others said, need to scan many box to find a ghost, maybe need some tweaking there.

Loved the idea, really cool game hope you go further with it! Originality points are big for this. The gameplay loop is good and it sets a great atmosphere. The roguelike elements feel a bit disjointed but I could see them working with some tuning(maybe adding more enemies as has been said would make them more needed-though that might take away from the atmosphere)- I tried for curiosity sake in a level just waiting for all of them to attack me with no upgrades and it was not a difficult fight. (This to say i liked this a lot and it made me curious). The art was great, loved the style and it fit toghether nicely, liked that there were animations. Loved all the sound effects, they fit as well, and the game defs fit the theme nicely. Also the browser version was buggy as hell but the windows one worked fine so no probs. Thanks for the game I hope I get to play future versions of it.

Liked the game, had a bit of problems figuring out what i had to do. so maybe make a proper tutorial instead of a option button could help. Still amazing job!!

Fun game I just wish you would run into ghosts more often!

nice and fun game! the only problem for me is that to find a ghost you need to scan a lot of boxes

Awesome concept! The pixel art and UI look crisp, and the upgrade system gives it a ton of replay value. The loop can feel a bit slow when searching for ghosts, but overall it's a super fun submission with huge potential!

Fun game...Love the pixel art and the ui, pretty great concept too...
Im gonna download it (played the web version) and explore it more

just one thing I noticed... the game has some stutters when using the ....dash mechanic? as soon as I pressed space bar the game weirded out a bit

but definitely Bonus points for using Godot!!

Fun little game here! I really like the visuals. I do agree with Sorong having to scan alot of boxes before finding a ghost. I got one game where it felt like i scanned every box. Also think a little bit more of onboarding would help out. I did not have a clue what to do at first. Fun game, deff has potential!

hey! I really like games like this where you have many upgrade paths :)

Some suggestions for improvement:

I would recommend you to add a webgl export, so that more people try out your game. People are always hesitant to download a build.

I also would recommend you to speed up the gameplay loop. I spend 3 minutes running around scanning boxes and didn't find any encounters. Reduce mission time and increase ghost encounters and the game would feel way more engaging.

nice submission! :)
