Fun gameplay and nice graphics! Always fun to see mechanics where you have to trick enemies into getting themselves killed, rather than running around shooting anything that moves.

The game is fun and movement was smooth!
I felt the art was alright, liked the fireballs from the shotguns!
The music volume felt a bit low, got overshadowed by the ghost shots. The sound effects were cool, I just wish the dash recharge had a sound (or that it was more noticeable), I kept on looking at the action then at the dash indicator to see if I already could use it, was a bit distracting.
I was a bit lost at first because I didn't see any instructions on how to play, so I just moved around on the first run. Pressing space seemed like I teleported, left me a tad confused, but the game over screen made that clear. Also, restarting the game I noticed there were instructions at the top left corner, so I guess that's on me!
I felt the ghosts amount kinda plateaued, so I just kept on moving in a rectangular path around the screen. More ghost types (or shot patterns) would be really cool!
Congratulations on making such a concise and smooth experience!
Oh, I didn't manage to beat your highscore!

Thank you for playing! I usually don't really like loud music in games so it's rather quiet, but idk if I should change that. I knew I forgot some sfx! A dash recharge definitely should have a sound. Also the controls were in the menu top left corner, I should probably move them somewhere more clear. I agree on the ghost moving pattern but getting really high scores is already quite hard since the enemies constantly kill each other and then often spawn near the player. I was also honestly thinking about more patterns, would be nice indeed, but I still want patterns that can be dodges without a dash so it'll be quite hard to think of.
I tried really hard for my highscore so don't worry about not beating it, it's just an extra challenge for those who want it

Also I want to add one thing on the enemy patterns. This time around I wanted to make a simple to pick up fun game so adding more patterns could complicate the game to a degree I don't want, you have to be VERY careful with stuff like that

Thank you for playing and all the kind words! Honestly I think I have a nice chance to be the winner though it's unlikely. There's just so many great submissions!

Thanks for playing! I know about the gravestone, I just thought it'd be funnier to keep

Thank you for playing! To be fair there's enough dead people to not worry about losing a couple. We may loose 100, but we'll gain 1! lol
