Sheer awesomeness
i normally don't like super difficult games, but the characters were interesting enough to keep me going. i got a feeling of satisfaction after beating it with 850+ lives!
my only complaint is the first lvl(1,1). same with lvl 2, lvl 2-1 was alot harder than 2-2, 2-3 2-4. since yu had to get the patterns of all 3 ghost types in the first lvl and only 1 or 2 types on the others.. i literally walked through 2-2...
also, sometimes with the swinging axes, i would be safe on one pass then when the axe came back around i died.. without moving from the spot i was in, i think the axes have slightly longer range on the downswing...
The music made the game for me, timing is more fun when you have a beat:D
I wanna see more!! who's the hooded girl?
Thank you for the insight, the girl's name is Kuno.
The music is by the talented GhostingFish!

It's cute, got 2 shards, then had died over 100 times... this is not a game for the faint of heart aka the most patient people on the entire planet. Suffice to say, only 0.5% can play this game without quitting really quick... and I'm among sadly, a minority who won't rate this game 0-2 stars. If this game ever reaches the masses, it will be a disaster...
If it reaches the masses, imagine the heart attacks!
Nonetheless, the story is up on YouTube if you're interested!

I have to say, this was really challenging -- a bit too challenging. Everything else was pretty fine. I was lucky enough to beat the game with about 200 lives lost, but the difficulty level needs some toning down a bit. Majority of the extra lives I lost were from Level 2-1, lol.
That's why there's a Medal for it. Glad you liked it.

Has the same problem too many "hardcore" games have: mistakes the need for pixel perfect movement and brutal memorization for skilled play. I gave up after the third level because I just could not puzzle out the proper timing to proceed.
But I did focus on Pixel Perfect Movement and Brutal Memorization. It's all patterns.
