The purple ghosts are just a bit tedious, since there doesn't seem to be a way to lock them in.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Most of the frustration I've had with the game is from the transformation mechanic, though. If I'm not standing perfectly still I can't switch forms, so half the time I'd be right next to a purple ghost and try to switch back to the maiden to catch it, but I'd be stuck mid-animation and not switch until the ghost is halfway across the map.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, the game does get a bit repetitive over time. The levels don't seem varied enough, and it's just a lot of busywork after a while.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I got through a couple levels until I got to one where there's a little 3x3 loop directly adjacent to the top edge (no grass between it and the wall - generally avoid that in block-based level design, makes it seem like a level exit). There, I caught all the green ghosts I could see, caught all the purple ghosts the fox could see, and the game claimed there was one ghost left, which I just couldn't catch no matter how hard I tried."},{"author_name":"Venneque","author_uid":"93109","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 8:20am","epoch":1461312900,"text":"Being myself a fan of Ahri on LoL, I could only love this game xD\r<br\/>Anyway, graphics are simple and neat. The concept is pretty much the same way. I felt sad being unable to finish the game on the 6th or 7th stage because of a missing spirit. I didnt find the game so hard until then, perhaps there would something to say about the shifting part but it didnt frustrate me so much. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would strongly recommend adding a new concept by the 4th or 5th game to make me stop feeling this game repetitive.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Yet, I enjoyed this game. :)"},{"author_name":"Cosrnos","author_uid":"25241","time":"Apr 24, 2016 @ 6:33pm","epoch":1461522480,"text":"I would agree with amras that having to stand still to transform was frustrating, but I like the concept. I really feel like some music could have helped set a perfect mood for this game (but the sound of the thunderstorm and gentle rain outside my window made for a good substitution :) )"},{"author_name":"Reyn","author_uid":"25581","time":"Apr 30, 2016 @ 9:20am","epoch":1462007700,"text":"Nice idea, somehow makes me think of bomber man.
