a spooky walk through maple park.

this game was made for cozy fall jam 2023. more on that below!

cursed to vanish with the slightest touch of a physical object, you died and became a spirit long ago. you miss your favourite place - especially at this time of year. it is time to go back, no matter the risk.

take an autumn stroll float through maple park by switching between the surface and underground to avoid various obstacles. however, your eagerness to explore the park faster and further will make this harder and harder..

controls

get as far as possible in this endless runner by swapping positions. the ghost filled in is vulnerable to hitting obstacles, however the one with striped lines (representing where you would appear if you swapped) is not. which is which can be swapped at any time with the keys below. controls, volume and camera settings in pause menu!

key bindings

keyboard is recommended, but touch and controller have no reported issues!

action	keyboard/mouse	xbox	playstation	touch
swap position	space, RMB or c	a, x	x, □	tap
pause	p	back	select	pause button

more about the game

this game was made in 3 days for the cozy fall jam 2023 game jam*. it is extremely simple in terms of gameplay. there are a few reasons for this:

1. the jams optional theme was less is more, and what is more less than a game with 1 button and 3 colours*?
2. i took this as a chance to practice with godot's animation, the ghosts themselves are not made of sprites, but a collection of moving polygons!
3. experiment with shaders and ui features. this is where the cool striped line thing came from, and i am very happy with the result!
4. to try an art style that is not my usual pixel art. i really like it!
5. i was ill whilst making it so didnt want to be too ambitious

* applies to the original jam version only, find the jam version for windows somewhere in the downloads section!

**4 colours in the final version! ASWTMP is still 2-bit colour palette certified (not including transparency and menus.)
