Ghost Hunter

Good Game! The binds for both the player and enemies were great, with the Lost Sorcerer's slime being my favorite.

Some notes for the gameplay:

Sword Strike: a solid basic attack. Strong, but can be disabled easily by enemy binds. Upgrade immediately.

One handed strike: Flail button. Only useful if you can't use magic or sword strikes. Any upgrades here are better spent on items for healing and removing binds.

Magic Attack: The middle point between the Sword Strike and 1H Strike. Use Mp to deal slightly less damage than the Sword strike, or half your Mp to deal slightly more than a Sword Strike. Upgrades make this an alternative attack when your hands are bound.

Evasive maneuvers: Objectively Useless. Use to to gain 10% more dodge chance for two turns!(in exchange for one turn).Upgrades turn this bonus into 30%!(still not worth it)

Items: Health potion. You should never buy this, as the Health bar potion restores more for less

Heath bar potion. Chug these whenever your heath goes from green to yellow.

Knife: Use if you only have the basic arm binding.

Acid: Use if you have more than the basic arm binding.

Mana Shard: Magic isn't good enough to warrant buying these

Enemies are fun, they each seem to have their own gimmicks. Clearing out the Lost Sorcerer's first makes the basic areas alot easier, as they lack the damage of the Mischief spirits, while the Mischief spirits lack the ability to bind.

Green Warrior is a Dps Check, on whether or not you can outdamage their healing. Yellow Warrior is a standard fight, only with what seems to be the highest evade. Pink Warrior is neat with her free binds, forcing you to manage what items you use.

Ideas to make the useless useful:

One-handed strike: Make this attack always hit. This will make it useful against Spirits, giving the player a reason to upgrade it.

Magic attack: Right now it's only good for attacking when arms are bound, giving it an additional effect (like removing a bind or making your next attack stronger) will give it more purpose than "next best attack if sword isn't avalable"

Evasive maneuvers: Either increase how much dodge/turns you get from using this skill, or add a passive effect that uses it before a battle starts.

Heath Potions: Decrease price to 5, Increase the price of Health Bar Potions to 25. This would make it so that the player needs to keep an eye on their health and heal before they lose a bar,  with the Heath Bar Potions serving instead as a stronger panic heal button.

It would be cool for a  option for some sort of movement controls for mobile devices. As everything else works you just can't move on mobile devices.

When will the download be available?

4 skill (dodge) is broken, its effect does not disappear and is stacked, which allows you to make the dodge chance 100% at the very beginning of the game (although for some reason the bug works crookedly and at a certain point the ghosts can start to cause damage, but this is solved by re-using the 4 skill). The only one who can hit you in this case is the turquoise ghost, since you can dodge his double attack only by clearly hitting the timing of dodging the first attack before the opportunity to dodge the second attack appears, or if his double attack requires the same dodges. Although considering that the turquoise ghost cannot even link (only if he lowers all health to zero), this is not a serious problem.

I've found that the game gets really laggy when you pull up or put down the map. Is that a known issue?

This game is great! The art-style is very charming, and I love the money-managing gameplay loop of deciding on whether to buy consumables, trapping items, or save for skill upgrades, when you're in the shop. And when you're in a floor, you have to consider whether you can afford to go without healing or whether you can even catch another ghost this level, to get more money and conserve resources.

I felt like the Dodge skill wasn't very useful. Giving the opponent an extra turn, in exchange for two turns of them getting a (at max 30%) chance to miss isn't ever really a good thing, since it's an on-average 40% chance to still get hit, despite wasting a turn. It's only kinda useful if you're stalling for item uses, but even then, it's not that useful.   

I was a bit disappointed that you could only encounter the three Warrior ghosts once, rather than them becoming recurring (although hopefully rare) enemies, since their higher strength and more expensive catch items made the game more entertainingly difficult. Although, I think the Green Warrior is more difficult than the Yellow Warrior, so should probably be put first.

With allowing the Warriors to respawn (maybe just the Yellow?), or just adding some more difficult-to-beat common enemies with more expensive catch items, plus some more consumables/permanent upgrades (eg an item to do increased damage, or allow an extra move, or a permanent upgrade to increase max health or upgrade your radar (like showing the types of ghosts on radar, or items on the ground)), I'd love to play an endless mode or longer, non-endless mode of this game!

Fun little game, got spawned into the void on level 12 thought you might want to know

Congrats on winning the Bondage Game Jam.

I am clicking New Game, but nothing is happening

It is working now :3

I ran into a softlock, but it's pretty specific: when both of your arms and your legs are bound, you don't have enough mana to cast, and no mana orbs, knives or acid, there's nothing you can do.

Could be great, if the RNG elements were SEVERELY toned down and the means to play the game were explained more clearly.

I really like this game and would love to see where this goes. More items, more enemies, more loot. Maybe a way to see yourself in the backpack menu or something too. More diverse dialog for the saved girls too. Fun game! Cheers!

The only upgrade you can buy is for the default attack, the others do nothing.  Also, the game becomes unplayable once you reach floor 12.

Cute game! Main issues are some enemies give less money than their restraints are worth, the green/yellow/red enemies are super strong, the red enemy will deal bindings even on green health, and the pool being random for ghosts to catch means you might not even see all the ghosts in one playthrough.

no point in playing if the enemy just dodges all your attack
