Quick update: Why on earth are the checkpoints spread so far apart, I just went through 3 levels(?) and died and got sent all the way back. I did save, but it didn't seem to matter. Please leave something on these types of things in your description for future reference.
ex. "If you die, you get sent back to last checkpoint; REGAURDLESS OF SAVE"
Also be sure to mention if we will get to keep our items we found after that checkpoint (I wouldn't know, I am not walking all the way back to the chest to find out considering it isn't even on the way of the main obj).

I love the simple, yet fun and enjoyable style of this game. I can tell it was made in 2 weeks, although that wasn't an understatement of its design.
I like that this game gives you little instruction, yet is fairly easy to figure out on your own. I like that this game is somewhat difficult and requires you to build somewhat of a strategy to defeat your opponents (similar to a super Mario boss or something of the sort).
What I don't like is how fast the difficulty accelerates itself and how often you have to save if you don't want to be frustrated as hell at the fact that you just got shot 4 times in a row by a tiny golem that seemingly glitches taking only 1 or 2 steps before turning and shooting directly at you again.
Something very important in these style games is redundancy, if a golem is intended to take 5 steps and shoot, its ok if its a range between 4-6 steps, but don't allow it to take 1 step and fire repeatedly out of nowhere when you've already designed a tested method of killing them. Use the next enemy to do that. Otherwise we just get annoyed and frustrated and are tempted to close out and never play the game again.
Kudos, great job, and I hope to make a game of this caliber shortly. I understand how everything was made so it shouldn't be too difficult. Thanks and I'll be sure to play all the way through this for a good sense of what works (and what doesn't).

I have only played a few minutes of this game, and I already know this is a high quality, and well built game. Well done! I can see the effort put into this game, and I hope to see what other games you can make!

How did you create the beginning scene animation where the ghost character goes up to the bed?
