This is a cute little game! The PICO-8 is an awesome platform and I'm glad you're getting a handle of it. I like the backstory you made to this game, which is a simple collection / avoidance game but surprisingly quite challenging! As others have said that ghost goes too damn fast, but I was able to get four presents before giving up! I think if I were to change the game mechanics (I understand this is WIP) I'd add a grace period for the ghost chase and maybe improve the acceleration on the player when holding down the arrow key input. Thanks for submitting this game to SCREAM JAM!
As much as I would love to reduce the speed of the ghost, the collision relies on being on the exact same position. Turning it into a float would round it to one less. Sorry =(

Great work Harry... but yeah i agree with @ScreamCatalogue a little grace period would go a long way ...
Best Game Ever Mr. Harry
