My only gripe is that I thought the spirit world exit was an enemy and I tried to kill it. Oops.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The level where you had to push the box while avoiding 3 Wraiths was deliciously hard. I could very well see that it was possible but it was super tricky and VERY satisfying to beat.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The music is nice, but it does this weird thing early on where it starts super quiet and then abruptly gets loud.

You didn't miss anything; my game has five levels.  Due to time constraints, I had to make a choice of either creating more levels or creating backgrounds for my existing levels.  I chose to make backgrounds (2 backgrounds for each level) to set a mood and show more distinction between the physical and spirit world.  Though there are five levels, I'm hoping you will find that the backgrounds give them personality that make them distinct from each other.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks again"},{"author_name":"DragonInstall","author_uid":"38687","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 5:07pm","epoch":1409245320,"text":"Cool game.
