This game is harder than it looks, don't let the cute ghost fool you. Very fun game!

very cute ghost and the controls feel really great liked the grid mechanic alot

Honestly, that's an actually unique concept. Good level design, great way using colors to identify ghosts' behaviors and a great implementation overall, your game is surely underrated. My main gripe is that the difficulty in your levels should start low, the first level feels pretty hard when you're just getting used to the mechanics and controls.

I really like the art and audio for this game! Also the concept of the loop and it's gameplay mechanics are pretty unique which I enjoyed.

I did find the candle mechanic to be poorly telegraphed and frequently had times where I was unable to remove the ghost even though I could swear it was the same location as I had previously used.

Another suggestion I might have is have the ghosts on tweens to make their movements feel a bit less sporadic.

Other than those I did have a fun time with this game!

I loved how each level had a different loop pattern, which, combined with the various enemy types, made every level feel fresh! And that last level, which had the enemies following on the path after me, was super intense! I do think that things could have been a bit slower however, as I struggled on the first level for quite a bit!

Love the visuals and the music! The glow definitely spices it up alot! The candle hitbox is pretty small though, which can be very unforgiving for new players. Otherwise, great game!
