Just Another Sad Ghost by AglavraOwl

[raw]
made by AglavraOwl for LD 44 (JAM)

The game was made solo. Sprites are drawn with Aseprite, programming done in Construct2. The project didn't turn out as I expected initially, because due to different circumstances I was able to work on a game only for one day and a half. So I didn't implemented all planned features.

Though, here it is: a game about a sad ghost stuck between life and death and trying to gather energy to get out of there. But the only available source of energy its itself, so it has to buy new powers for its own life. You are welcome to play and rate it. The game has two small levels and can be finished in under 10 minutes. Sadly, I didn't had time to add music and sound, and the second level is simpler than it should be.

I thought the game itself was really fun, and the gameplay was fluent. However, I would like to see some improvements in the art department. Besides that I thought it was a beautifully done game!

FYI you might want to rename the file to something more descriptive. I've downloaded a bunch of LD games, and had a hard time figuring out which file was for this game.

I assume the fortune telling ball is the end of the game. I'm not sure that I understood the story. There was a delay from when I touch the crystal shard before I actually beat the level, and during this delay I was pretty confused about what I was supposed to do. Not actually being able to shoot the enemies that are shooting at me was weird. The grayed-out skills on the skill-select screen confused me. It would be better if they weren't shown.

The ghost is kind of cute, and the text that appeared as I walked on the first level was nice.
