The visuals were great as well, the ghost was cute and then terrifying.  The first few times you pressed Z were cool, when you disguise yourself as stuff.

I really found this innovative, humurous and overall a very nice game. There is one thing that I found weird though; after I closed the game - the music still played. Lol, it stopped now though, after a minute or so."},{"author_name":"suve","author_uid":"18843","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 2:20am","epoch":1355796900,"text":"Really nice idea!

The music kept playing and the Java process was still running after closing the game.\r<br\/>Apart from that. Lovely graphics and solid concept. 5\/5"},{"author_name":"Luis Anton","author_uid":"12053","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 7:15pm","epoch":1355857800,"text":"So cute!

The sound didn't work on my mac, and pressing 'm' froze the game, so I just won't rate the audio.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I still enjoyed it though.

Fun how tech has evolved that we can create a cheap NES game with slightly awkward physics in 2 days instead of 2 weeks like they used to. Commendable."},{"author_name":"JesterBLUE","author_uid":"11191","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 8:58pm","epoch":1355950380,"text":"Loved the graphics, especially the frightened tourists, and how hiding turned you into random different objects.  Jumping was tough - required you to count the number of stripes to jump and then do it.  Different challenge than what my brain is wired for when jumping."},{"author_name":"master4523","author_uid":"2668","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 9:03pm","epoch":1355950680,"text":"One of the best game I've played! I wish you would have had time to add some other game mechanics, like tourists who could  turn on the light.
