A big source of my being busy all the time, aside from other projects and school, is the seemingly forever-delayed release of my game, Ghost in the Machine, on Steam.

Well, the day is finally set - next week on 4/22/15, and the page went live today.

If anyone likes difficult games and puzzly level designs, this is for you.

The page is here:

Game looks interesting though I don't spend much time on hard platformers these days. The music included in the trailer is catchy though! Congrats on getting it released!

The game is set to be $4.99, but will be 10% off during the first week.

I don't know what pricing is good, or whether it should be higher. My frame of reference has usually been VVVVVV.

$5 is a no brainer, you'll have my support.

Reminds me of Pixeld or whatever the name is for that series of indie games even the character sprite itself. The platforming looks cool, the character sprite is kind of a turn off for me, could have been so much cooler 'cause the backgrounds look pretty cool.

I'm thinking about $10, not really sure. I think that might work if there are frequent sales - during the first week it will be 10% off. A number of people have told me I should raise the price so really I don't know.

Maybe meet it half-way and do $7.99 and the first week with the 10% off?

5 bucks is fine, anymore than that people won't even bother.

Yeah, I think that's a safe "high" side to still keep it in the "notion buy" category.

P.S.- Really like the fluid animation & wall-crawling elements in this one.

Looks like an interesting platformer. Reminds me of the honey/bee levels in DKC2 a bit, but a lot faster paced. When do we get a MVS port?

Well I'm a real sucker for making myself busy - in the last few days I've added 14 new levels to the game, and made a lot of small improvements to the level editor.
