I really like the concept of dead enemies becoming ghosts you have to avoid. I also love the stained glass, nice job!
really reminds me of the old windows 3.1 games liked it. So many ghost on screen on the last wave but I was able to sleep that night and the game was over.
Good job to you and your team.
Cool Game, Design Is a little weird but other than that 6/10
Interesting idea with introducing obstacles from previous rounds' enemies. Felt like it was over just as it got started though. Background was a bit hard to look at, very busy.
I fully enjoyed the game. It contains satisfying atr style, beautiful bg sound and interesting gameplay!
Really cool idea and level design, the pixel art for the ghosts is spot-on. At first I didn't understand what to do but when I did it was a lot of fun <3!!
Nice entry, I liked that the ghost stood around and could harm you. I was hoping for more waves I wanted the map covered in ghost hah. Great job with art.
Had fun playing it, loved that each enemy is essentially two different enemies. Later waves were fun to dodge and push back the ghosts. Could have added more levels I guess, would've been very chaotic
That was a really fun game! Especially in the later waves, when there are fast enemies and a ton of ghosts flying about, it gets really chaotic fast! One of the most enjoyable gameplay mechanics i've seen here!
I dont really have anything negative to say, apart from maybe I couldnt tell if the gun was a shotgun firing a spread or just a rifle or something, but that doesnt really matter
Overall very cool game, i enjoyed playing it a lot!
Ps - 4 cookies over 3 days? those are rookie numbers heh
The game's good. It's simple and gets rather chaotic at the end. Also it's probably not intended but the game window in the web build is too long to fit in my screen so in some moments i had to scroll up and down on the itch page itself wich was honesly really fun lol
Short and simple, not bad but it's a bit tough to tell where you can stand and where you can shoot through.
