Being a ghost is pretty rad. You own a house and life is kinda great. But all of a sudden, some realtor shows up and tries to sell your house from under you! (Apparently, she can't see ghosts and thinks the house was abandoned.) Time to show them how inhabited this house really is!

Use the objects around the room to scare her out!


(NOTE: You "win" when she runs out the house.)


Controls

WASD: Move ghost

G: Action (scare, throw possessed item)

I saw a guy with a vacuum enter. Is he supposed to be an enemy or just a weirdo?

RaycatWhoDat responds:

So, the original plan was to make him an enemy and for all intents and purposes, he does "damage" you. But, like the rest of the submission (sans the art), it lacks polish due to us 1) having too large of a scope and 2) running out of time as a result of that scope.

Nice idea, needs some polishing and more actions I guess

Nice looking game, but short. You could add something when the invader leaves the house, she gets in a loop of running forever

Well, this did have good graphics, but it was too short. I liked the name pun. She just ran off and that was it. You can definitely do better! Just have more gameplay and more of an ending. The ghostbuster wasn't an obstacle at all.

Well, that did make it very easy. Yeah, it was too easy. I did like how everything was set up. The music's pretty familiar. Please just have more gameplay with these good designs!
