Ghost Soup

A very fun puzzle Game! I liked how it started with the book explanations and in general the lore is an creative idea :D

The heart sign was a nice easter egg. I like it when platformer hide stuff, even ifs not necessary to advance. :D

The score goal being to use as less ghosts as possibly is cool, but i would have liked to have seen how my total score was too, to keep track of it.

I sadly couldnt continue on one of the puzzles, because i kept on bugging into the walls. It was this one:

I also tried a lot of combinations with purple and orange, to stay small but still bugged into the ceiling and respawned then. Oh and dashing into walls made me bug into them too sometimes.

I dont know if it helps but: i got the bug in fullscreen and windowed mode and im playing on microsoft edge.

But i still enjoyed the other levels and how they teach different combinations in a playful way :D

great soup! I like the artstyle and the main mechanics are inventive and show a lot of promise. only thing I could say as "critisism" was that dragging the ghosts to the pot every time was a little exhausting, maybe doubleclicking could work as a secondary input. Good work!

Really cute and fun game! I love how the combinations form, rock baby is adorable!

Cool game, got addicted fast.

Good game !

Read in case you are a necromancer stuck in a catacomb in baby form is halla specific LUL

I like the interaction you can create mixing different ghosts power, and how the work even mixing the same one.

I feel like you could have been more hard on player and put a limit on possible "mixable" ghosts for each lvl even at the start.

That said, the game is fun, art is nice, and music really fits ! GG

Hey GoodSoop,

That was some good soup ;). I enjoyed my time with the game. There are, obviously, some kinks that still need to be ironed out, (e.g. QOL in the cooking UI, coyote time would be a nice addition, etc...) but the overall concept is interesting and I look forward to seeing it more ironed out as you guys continue your work on it.

Cheers and good luck game dev'ing!

Was fun :] 

I like the concept a lot and mixing the ghosts is fun, there's a little bit of jank with bonking pretty easily and there could be more quality of life stuff with mixing, but the actual meat of the game is great ^_^

A fun little puzzle platformer from a relatively simply mechanic. I spent maybe more time than I should have playing it just because I was trying to see how low I could get the ghost count. Finally managed 52, although I think there was a lot of luck involved.

I did find the ghost queueing mechanic a little awkward. If you use the arrow keys at the beginning of the level to try to plan ahead, and get one wrong (for example underestimating the height of a jump), you have to clear out everything after that one and redo it all, so I ended up often just adding a ghost or two at time so that I wouldn't waste time adding ghosts I was going to have to re-add later. This obviously wasn't a problem with the early levels, but a couple of the later ones.

And if a "soft goal" is trying to get the lowest ghost count possible, then a level retry might be nice. I found sometimes I thought I would need an extra ghost, and then managed to reach the exit early, and it would have been nice to be able to go back and figure it out without beating the game again.

Definitely required using some of my brain cells! Can't wait to see what a full game would look like!

I had fun playing this game all the different combinations both in and out of the pot are very fun I recommend you try it
