Not enough time!
I was forced to finish this game 11 hours ahead of the actual compo deadline, so some of the features I planned didn't get put in. These are: (spoilers)
!> - A puzzle mechanism to make completing the ritual more challenging than just collecting stuff - Ability to interrupt physical player copy by pushing him or stealing the items he is trying to pick up - Polished ghost player animations - More, better music

Game fitted really well with the theme and the main character was very cute.
music was quite simple but it fitted the art style.
Overall Awesome job!
Other than that it was good, I personally found the music rather jarring though.
Good job!
The complaint is that it starts to lag very quickly.. cannot finish anything that way. : /
Good luck!
