I love the visuals and the mechanics. Super fun, very fresh. I love how the music changes as the game goes along and each enemy destroyed gives a different gong-sounding noise. Awesome job (:

Hi, that's a nice concept you have there. Things I'd look for to improve it:

- move the eye to make it more like a twin stick shooter.
- change the range we can see ghosts, like, not being able to clearly see what's behind us.

Other than that, a very solid entry!

Really neat idea here. Good tradeoffs for the player, and interesting ideas. Wish there could have been something more added like moving around levels or something, but a fun game in itself.

Cool concept, and the graphics and mood are wonderful despite being so simple, especially the ghost animations.

Veyr nicely done. Nice mood. The deep ambient really makes this game great. Also very innovative to use your sight as your weapon. Nice idea

Nice one, gotta love the quality of the animation.
For the first few seconds I thought the game was unbeatable by just always spinning around, but it quickly proved me wrong. :) Amazing work.

Really great mood with the gong sounds and background music drone! Such a simple concept, but really a lot of fun.

Great game design, great aesthetics and very playable. So simple, but so effective... this one would have been perfect for the Compo.

Great light effects. Simple rules but this kind of game should work that way. For me could be harder.

Cool game, with a very powerful and relaxing mood, I love it! The idea is interesting and fun to play, and this music... it's just excellent! Overall, a good "trance-inducing" game :)

Nice game, but needs more polish, like more monsters or diffrent mechanics. Also a mobile port would be best for such a kind of game.

THis was super fun! I loved the mood & sound. I liked the graphics and the crunchy feel when you pop those ghosts! The ball that pops them all was a stroke of genius, it made it really exciting.

Well, hard to say. Nothing really wrong with it though. A tad loud. But that's it.

Great job! This was a really cool game. :) The graphics and audio effectively create a nice mood. Clever use of the theme too. I felt a little restricted though. Would've loved to move!

I think it's a solid entry with just a bit more need to balancing the difficulty. The audio is ridiculously loud, cut it out!

Mood and graphics combination is good. Fun's sorta lacking after a while due to the simplicity. It fits the theme and innovation is there, although more should be done.

I really liked the surreal qualities to this game. I love how the ghost warped and distorted as they moved forward. I love your minimalist aesthetic. :) Very solid game

Simple, cute game! Nice entry. I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/eqkTJc6zIls
