Ghosted is a Sokoban-type puzzle game where you play as a naked alien humanoid who has exactly 13 steps to move until he transforms to a ghost. The goal is to collect all the coins in the map, but the twist is that they can be only collected when you are a ghost, but as a ghost you cannot push rocks or press buttons.

\n

The game has 12 levels and one hidden one you unlock by beating all the other levels.

    Use Firefox or Chrome/Edge to get the audio working properly. Apparently does not work on Brave browser and most likely not on Safari, either.

    The graphics do not show properly if played in the private mode on Firefox (some noise pixels might appear). On regular mode works fine. The reason for this is unknown.

Nice change to the sokoban style game and quite tricky! Very well presented with clever puzzles. Would be a great mobile game!

Beautiful graphics, specially those pixel\nPerfect concept, the logic could be extended I guess for another level gamification

I hate sokoban but love good twists on sokoban’s rules. Well done. A bit hard. PS: your twitter name seems wrong

Love the logo effect at the start. Cute pixel art. I wish I could appreciate Sokoban games, puzzles puzzle me.

Really nice concept!\nThe kind of puzzle game I love (check my “13 steps to escape” entry, it’s a bit sokoban like too with more mechanis)\nI love the idea of spooky, perfectly fits the theme and original.\nNice menu and pixel art.\nOne good thing should have been a short tutorial when adding new features, at least in first levels, but it’s a small detail

Nice twist on the gameplay.\nI like the pixel-art-style and the two phases of the gameplay where you already have to plan the ghost-phase in advance.\nGood entry!

the loading scene is very animated and well done, puzzles are hard and challenging.

The game was challenging and I had a hard time on the last level, Very nice game, works really well. Plays nicely on this years theme. I love the title screen! Felt amazing, great work!

This was great! I too built a Sokoban-type puzzle game for the competition and when I played yours, I was immediately like: welp, they have me beat!

\n

Amazing twists on the mechanics, fun sound, increasing difficult of levels, and a good use of the fear of 13 theme. Nice job!

Excellent Sokoban type! I’m no good at these so I had a hard time figuring out even level 1. Really challenging, enjoyable game with great pixel art.

Really clever mechanics, which were a joy to figure out; a very polished entry. I did miss some background music!

Really enjoyed playing your game. Cute cartoon style graphics and fantastic puzzles.

\n

The pink blocks reminded me of P blocks in Mario.

\n

Sound effects were nice, almost felt like a tune would make it just perfect.

\n

Would work great as a mobile game.

\n

I did get pixel corruption on the sprites after playing for a bit on FF.

Brilliant interpretation of the theme, great graphics. I’m a little stumped on puzzle 9, need to come back when I have more time. Great collection of unique mechanics that comes together for an extremely polished experience. Great job!

This is, by far, the most enjoyable game I’ve played in this competition! Although the rules were a bit unclear at first (without reading the introduction), after playing a few rounds, everything started to make sense. I quickly became hooked.

\n

The graphics are also stunning, and the game as a whole feels very polished.

\n

It’s incredibly well done. I especially love the level design - each stage is meticulously crafted, giving a great sense of accomplishment when I finally clear it. The difficulty curve is just right for me, challenging but not frustrating. Overall, an outstanding entry that stands out in the competition!!

This is really great!

\n

Nice graphics and sound effects as always– I especially like the jumping animation, when you jump on the ghost ectoplasm.

\n

The puzzles are well designed and make my brain hurt enjoyably

Managed to pass first 3 levels. I bit challenging in the beginning, but becomes better later when you figure out the idea.

\n

Interesting game! Can’t say I’m good with those, however, I liked it :)

Such a great concept.\nI love those types of mini-puzzle games with a mechanic to tinker with all the way.\nMenu is incredible, especially with the logo animation.\nCute little sounds (too bad there’s no music!)

\n

Honestly, very well mastered. Neat job

Great concept, great retro feeling (reminds me the mini games of UFO 50 I have been playing the last days), and great puzzles! Super cool game.

This is an awesome little puzzle game, I really liked the mechanics, the style, the feeling of it! I also liked how gradually you introduced the elements, though the first level felt a bit too hard at start. An undo button would have been a nice addition but the puzzles are short enough to not cause too big of a headache.

\n

Your game is of my favorites this year, great work!

Very clever take on sokoban! I found the difficulty curve to be a bit too steep and would recommend to make the first few levels a bit easier to ease in the player. Great graphics as well!
