PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
You are the Shepherd of Ghosts. You care for them until they move on. But some people don't understand, and wish to destroy your charges. You must frighten these do-gooders away before they exorcise you!
Your ghost can scare the exorcists if it sneaks up behind them, but if they see it, they can send it away.
Use the arrow keys to move.
Game was built in HTML5 with Phaser.js
Good luck!

Crafting4U: I think you scare them away by sneaking behind rather than getting them from the front or (sometimes) side.
Fun to play. Might be nice if you don't get sent away even when you sneak up behind them. The path-finding for your adversaries seems to be inefficient in wide-open spaces.
Great mood, loved the music.
Game play got boring after a short while.
Needs some kind of scoring system. otherwise quite fun little game :)
Nice little game. The music was great, the sfx could still be better. Graphics are decent. Good job, keep it up!
Nice game with an interessting interpretation of the theme. I didn't played it very long since I don't know if it has some kind of progression or if the goal is simply to survive as long as possible. If it is about survival, a clock would be nice.
Like the concept. Maybe it becomes a little too easy when you undestand how it works.
I would have liked to stay where I was after successfully scaring someone, but otherwise the game was quirky and fun to play. I liked how the difficulty ramps up as you learn to play.
Fantastic job and addictive too. A favorite (after you've learned what to do)
Nice game with an interesting mechanic! Became a little bit repetitive after a while when you got the hang of the scaring, but still enjoyable. Good job :)
Nice music. I wish it didn't send me back each time I scared one away.
Fun concept, great use of theme. I feel like there needs to be something else added to make it a little less repetitive, and more challenging. Otherwise, great job!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Ok little game. Can't seem to figure out why sometimes I scare them and sometimes I don't. The high pictched sound got a little annoying after a while.
