What players say
It's alright. You control kind of adorable ghost characters to scare people out of whatever building/level you're in pros -simple controls -easy to learn -cute cartoony artstyle all around -you can choose to play the levels in whatever order you want -game saves your progress, so if you crash or need to leave mid-level, you can hop right back in -nostalgia for those who played the flash game(s) when flash was still...

While it may be short and have the odd crash here and there, this is still the same old charming game where you play as a cute ghost who uses a variety of creative scares as a means of being left alone. Only real personal complaint I could give is that the NPC behaviour can be unpredictable at times and make levels drag. Totally worth a buy nonetheless, at least on sale.
