Undeads don’t actually die.\nThey go into the spectral world, and respawn after some time.

\n

You are an undead hunter, gifted with the ability to move\nbetween the physical world, and the spectral world.\nDive into the spectral world to kill them for good.

\n

Move around using WASD, ZQSD, or Arrows\nAim with mouse and shoot by holding left click.

\n

If you ever find yourself dead,\njust collect some souls from the spectral world to revive.

\n

If you play well, you can collect an upgrade to go to the spectral world deliberately.

A nice little game with a fun dual aspect to gameplay. Perhaps allow mouse to navigate menus as well as keyboard, it felt odd switching to space bar, then back to mouse and WASD. Graphics were good and the pace of the game was about right. Lots of enemies to strafe from whilst trying to shoot them and collect power ups.

Really nice game!\nLoved the duality normal/spectral mode, the increasing difficulty each time we switch world, new monsters, upgrades…\nControls are really smooth!\n2400 points after 3 try :)

I really liked this game! It’s so original and unique! The only problem is the lack of music and animations for the player and enemy, but for the rest is perfect for me. Truly a solid entry!

Great entry, graphics were neat, good sounds, some variation on the shooting sound would have helped.

\n

I like the idea of collecting souls to regain life.

\n

Movement could have been smoother.

\n

Overall a solid entry.

This is the game I actually wanted to see on a Steam release.\nWith a good lore and story, this can be a really addictive game.\nDevelop more enemies and patterns to grow the game more

Nice increase of difficulty over time with the number of souls required + the enemy types. Smooth controls and nice graphic effects when switching worlds.

Fun game!\nThe little sprites are really cute, and the sound effects are really fitting. Love all the graphical effects too, like the tail while dashing.\nPretty challenging game at first, but fun once you get the hang of it. Still, it gets pretty difficult fast, just from the sheer amount of enemies and fire, and I died often, and each time I die it’s harder to revive. But I really like the concept of using your “down time” to work on your revival.\nGreat job. The game is fun and well polished and I can imagine coming back and playing again.

Really cool concept here, having to get more and more souls to respawn is a really nice balance mechanic, and I thought the sound effects were really satisfying. Some nicer sprites with more colors would be nice, and maybe some different environments, but still was fun as is.

\n

Only real complaint is that since the play area is a little small and you don’t watch for mouse movement on the whole page, I lose my aim if my mouse leaves the canvas. Ideally the play area would be larger and also you’d watch for mouse movements on the whole screen, not just within the play area.

\n

Otherwise still a fun entry, well done!

Great idea for the theme of ‘death’! Collecting souls to bring the character back to life was brilliant. I really got the feeling of going into another realm all while remaining in the same game setting. Really enjoyed the idea behind this game.

I loved the death mechanic. Controls work really well and the fact that you can use your death strategically makes is so much better!

Nice arena shooter with a twist. I wonder if a health bar on the enemies would be helpful to know which one to focus on first? Or will it become too messy?
