Very pretty and clean. Didn't really notice any bugs or glitches or otherwise rushed items. Thought it would be more difficult than it ended up being, once I had hammered a bit at the last level. I wonder if it would be easy to incorporate some more dynamic elements like enemies or elevators? Should work well as long as they're reset like everything else. Might be really challenging with reactive enemy creatures.
Very nice game! Hard puzzles, but somehow doesn't strike me as particularely on theme.
Well done, having only one ghost and having to help him is quite refreshing compared to those "spawn ghosts till the game crashes"-games. Nice graphics style.
It's great that gems like this are showing up near the end of my review run.
Really, really good. I'm going to need a walkthrough to pass it, though, got stuck on 'Delay'.
A fantastic result, very happy to have played this.
It's a good game. Nice graphics gameplay and puzzles.
I will definitely play this again.
Tight, polished, finished, fun, ... awesome.
I guess the only criticism anyone could come up with is there's more "it's dangerous to go alone" than "take this". Shun such people.
Good game.

This mechanic is pretty well-known these days, but this implementation is awesome! It's really interesting to have only one "ghost." The levels were great, and the art is perfect.
