Hey everyone, thought I'd finally enter a game jam.

It took way longer than expected to polish everything to my liking, so my apologies for submitting with only 1 day away.

Even still, there's much more I wanted to add to game, but it'll have to wait!

Play as a cute bouncy round ghost, and try avoid spooky obstacles as you run through an endlessly generated world.

With only one finger, try survive as long as you can!

Made for the hyperween game jam.

I tried my best with the difficulty of random generation, but if it's too hard, let me know and I'll update the game with your feedback.

Have a spooky day everyone!

I’m excited to give it a try. It looks fun!

@Murtaza Hey, I'd like to add a leaderboard system before the deadline, but need to clarify:

Am I allowed to use RobinsonX's hyperAuth login page/socket in my project, and have a "login" button or alert?

Well, maybe it's a bit overboard to add just before the deadline, though I'll definitely add a leaderboard afterwards when the game jam is concluded.

RobinsonX

@Kamdroid I'm fine with you using my login thing. :) Though, I'm not sure if it's allowed on the game jam. If it's optional, then it should be fine since it doesn't pertain to the gameplay.

I answered this in the discord. But I figured I'd answer here as well.

The log in wouldn't make a difference to the gamejam. The one button only applies to the actual gameplay.

@Murtaza Just wondering when we're allowed to update our hyperWeen projects again?

I saw some hyperWeen projects updated after the deadline.

Though the rules say not to update until the results are announced, so I haven't released my update yet. Hope you can confirm, thanks.

@Kamdroid
You can do bug fixes, just not major changes.

To keep things fair we'll play both the one submited on oct 31, and the latest version.

Unless its two completely different games it shouldn't be a problem.

Kamdroid

@Murtaza I feel that only the October 31st version should be judged, since most people stopped updating after that deadline just because of the rules.

I also thought that was the rule, otherwise by now I'd have much better variety of gameplay, online leaderboards, a shop, etc, in Balloween.

Though for the next game jam you should clarify the rule on updating after deadline.

The only "bug fix" update I have for Balloween is to support all aspect ratios, is that okay to upload?

Thanks for the clarification.
