    Graphics were ok. Music and sounds were nice. The winning strategy was just take best weapon and then run straight downwards and shoot enemies. Well until every sprite disappears when you run long enough :u It was nice game :)

    I think the first thing to be said about this game, is that the music and the sound effects absolutely slaps. The score is appealing and different, and the sound effects mirror that nicely. The second thing to say about the game is, that it has some very nice pixel art, and animation - even the particles look good and adds to the Ghost Rider vibe of it.

    The extend of which the game covers the theme is also pretty cool. It doesn't just take the death state out of the game, but uses it to its on advantage. The only thing lacking, in my opinion, would be some sort of progression. Even changing the background colour after you've met some sort of score goal would be cool. The game isn't lackluster - and in the aspects it embers, it shines - but it is a bit boneless.

    Well the name of the game certainly isn't misleading :D
    I really like the concept and the gameplay was fun aswell.
    The audio mixing could have been better, but the sounds and music were great.
    The only thing that I didn't like that much, was that sometimes, when you come back to life, all enemys instantly shoot at you and you die again.
    Maybe make the player invincible for 1 second so he has some time to react.
    But still, really cool game!
