It is nice that you managed to get quite a lot graphical content in this short time. The music reminds me of mod tracker music, or music from some old console."},{"author_name":"jmcrafty","author_uid":"29763","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 7:36am","epoch":1387179060,"text":"Really enjoyed this. Good music and everything pretty much.  Just wish it could be longer. Way to go!"},{"author_name":"biscuitdough","author_uid":"4177","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 7:39am","epoch":1387179240,"text":"Great graphics and sound, kept me playing as long as I did, found game its self was a little bland, but top notch experience around it. Good job!"},{"author_name":"Crigs","author_uid":"30740","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 7:50am","epoch":1387179900,"text":"Neat mechanic! Great graphics and controls as well. I think the level design is brilliant as well, big fan of narrow hallways and the bouncy protagonist ."},{"author_name":"MRvanderPants","author_uid":"20836","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 8:08am","epoch":1387180980,"text":"Love the graphics and audio in this game!

Also very good graphics and music! Also I like how the interactions feel and are animated, i.e. how the keys drop on the floor and the &quot;Boo&quot;'s. Well done!"},{"author_name":"recursor","author_uid":"1105","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 8:10pm","epoch":1387224300,"text":"Quite a fun game. The controls for the ghost feel a bit 'floaty' especially when he bounces off things. It can get a bit frustrating, but I guess that might be what it would be like to remote-control a ghost. Great sound and graphics."},{"author_name":"joserodolfofreitas","author_uid":"31713","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:01pm","epoch":1387227360,"text":"I liked the idea of haunting for fun, at least that's the mood built up with the happy music. \r<br\/>The graphics are very nice too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>p.s.: I just don't get it why do I need a key to open doors since I'm a ghost and could walk through it, hehehe. Just kidding, man. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"thatwhichis","author_uid":"23194","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:34pm","epoch":1387229340,"text":"This is by far the most adorable entry I have played so far. The &quot;Boo&quot; sound makes me happy- and I don't even like being happy! It detracts from my curmudgeonly image!"},{"author_name":"Giovanni Cappellotto","author_uid":"20065","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 11:29pm","epoch":1387236240,"text":"Really nice game!

Very cool and fun :) [A little bit annoying: Having to start from the beginning after dying and bouncing off everything can make controls hard.

First thing I thought of when I saw the graphics is old snes games like Zombies ate my neighbours. It's a little repetitive but the fact that you keep your upgrades motivates to go on.
