Little Glenda the Ghost Hunter is precious. I think Roger did an amazing job honoring the original game cartridge art and I had a lot of fun playing this mini adventure. I wrote a game review if you would like to check it out!

风格可爱有趣,挖坟找鬼魂这个点子有点搞笑~ 要是可以有攻击绿色鬼魂的按键就好了

感谢您的意见和建议!

Aaah, when I try to launch it from the Itch.io store app, I just get a message that icons were updated. Weird.

That's strange :s

Looking in the game's folder, it might have to do with the icon program being the most prominent executable? It's in the game's root. I don't know how itch.io's butler works but if it just latches on the most visible exe that might explain it.
