The Ghost of Walter Mitty

Share Collapse

Author Comments

A fun maze game where you take on the role of Walter Mitty. A man turned ghost, one faithful afternoon.

This game is completing levels, it's pretty much all about his quest to find his body.

ALL BUGS HAVE BEEN FIXED.

More levels to come, stay tuned :D

Use AWSD to move and P to pause.

Anyone else get stuck during 5? The 3rd bottle thing won't move, and I can't get by....

I don't like the mouse click specially if it's too small can't I just close it with a keyboard?

The game is playable and that's important, but there are a few problems.

The controls are a bit too rigid. I think game play would improve a great deal if you could move diagonally, not to mention speeding up the character. There are far too many big expanses of nothing between the door and the key and it becomes tedious to have to go through them over and over at that pace.

I also understand the idea of easing the player into the harder levels, but that could be done faster. You don't even see your first enemy until level 5 and you could totally make that happen at level 2. No need for so much filler.

You have a workable concept here, so just take a little more time to think the levels through and you could have something really cool.

The game itself is not too bad, but I ran into the following issues:
1 - Certain levels (level 2, 10 and 19 for example) I took damage right when the levels started with no enemy collision. This caused me to die right when level 10 started on my first playthrough as I only had one heart.

2 - On my first two playthroughs, when I died the death menu would not let me select restart level. As such, I picked level select the first time and selected the last level it would allow, but when the level started the death menu was still up. I picked main menu that time and picked campaign (i did not click erase data) but at the level select menu the only levels available were tutorials A and B. On my second playthrough, when I died, I picked level select picked my level, still had the death menu, picked level select again and again my progress was gone and only tutorials A and B were available. On my third playthrough, restart level worked until I ran into the issues in issue 3 below, so I tried level select, I had the same issues as above.

3 - Level 19 would not let me pick up the key. The sprite behaved like a wall and I could neither stand on the panel where the key was, walk through the key or retrieve it. Dying and picking restart level worked, but the sprites for the medicine bottles did not reset and I still couldn't pick up the key. Dying and picking level select recreated the issues from issue 2 above. I did not replay again after that.

If those kinks were worked out I would have given at least a 4 star rating.

All the bugs have been fixed.

the sprite designs were mediocre, but I did find the character to be somewhat cute. However, the gameplay was way too simple. There was one level that prevented me from grabbing the key (i think it wsa 19). Finally, the transition was too slow from the screen to black. that is all
