As of now, it is quite linear - yeah you have 'paths' to take, but in the end you have to get this ghost, then this one, and eventually this one, etc. By adding a mechanic where you can remove color from him, to perhaps remove walls or something to get by, it could turn into more of a puzzle game where you have to figure out what order to get the things in and which ones to remove and how to get them back up again, etc\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very fun!"},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 6:29pm","epoch":1367259840,"text":"Looks great, plays well, colour combining makes me think of wizball on Atari-ST... but it's completely different this time.
