need to make the instructions more clearly understood. After all I'm just and old guy.
Duly noted. I will update on post jam build
Great puzzle game concept. Pixel art is really cute. Nice for co-op or solo players.
Really fun concept! For me it seemed the crash was related to pushing the "O" key, which I think is the ghost inventory? I crashed the game almost instantly by pushing "O" the first time, and then the game seemed to run fine after a reload while I avoided pushing "O". I was able to run around a do the puzzles. Then it crashed again as soon as I pressed "O".
The ghost design is really cute! Great job.
Thanks for the heads up!
Sorry for the random crashes. We noticed that after running it again, or refreshing, that does somewhat fix the issue
