About:

A Sokoban-style puzzle game by Jani Nykänen that took 3rd place overall (and 1st for theme) at js13kGames 2024. You play a small green alien with 13 steps left before he becomes a ghost. The coins can only be picked up once you are a ghost, but a ghost can no longer push rocks or press buttons, so every level is about spending your living steps exactly right. Twelve hand-made levels plus a hidden thirteenth, with undo and restart so experimenting never hurts.
