Ghosthunting!
A downloadable game for Windows
[This game contains Belly Expansion]
You are the two teams of ghosthunters, Mary & Carol! You need to clear out the haunted house that is infested with bloat-ghosts, no one knows why do they like to bloat the women in that area... but you got the device already! Now go take them ghosts & be safe taking your way back out!
Controls: Shoot = V
Switch Character/Weapon = Space
Mary - Purify Gun
You can clear the room filled with Ghosts with Mary's Purify Gun.
This gun has only the purpose to kill purify the Ghost.
Carol - Ghost Vacuum
Capture Ghosts using Carol's Ghost Vacuum, and you'll get bonus cash from the Agency.
What do they do to the Ghost? No one knows...
The Two bar at the top:
Top-Left : Max Ghost Storage for Ghost Vacuum.
Top-Right : Ghost Vacuum Battery, the amount of Vacuum shot per run.
So the objective here, you have to clear the room full of ghost, once you cleared the room you can advance to the next room. The further room you go the faster the ghost run!
Health System: You have 1 Belt Health & 2 Ghost Possession health
Each character would downed if they absorbed a total of 4 ghosts, you can upgrade their health on the Upgradeables outside!
Gold Earning: To earn gold, you must capture ghosts by letting them possess you character's belly or vacuum the ghost using Carols gun
Each ghost possessed in the belly can be exchanged to $10,
but Ghosts captured through the Vacuum are worth more!
But the IMPORTANT thing is, once your character is down, you cannot exchange your ghost in your belly, so once your character is down it's basically zero profit!
This version is for the Team Quimbly's Game Jam Submission!
There are lot bug & fix to unpack but hope you all like my project vision!
There are currently 8 rooms for this version, will add more unique monsters & feature soon.

Игра очень понравилась надеюсь будет продолжение разработки.
game has bug that don't let me complete the rooms, althought I have eliminated the ghost in the room, the game don't mark it as room completed,that's make I can't go to the next room and that's a permanent bug, if that happen's the game won't mark the room as completed (probably the bug is related with Carol's tolerance stat). btw if you change formation in menu, the game will exchange the character's abilities
We are working on it, the game was made in a simplified way for fast gameplay because of the Jam, so we are still modifying some things.
any tutorial or explanation in-game?
There is no tutorial as such, when talking to the NPC near the stairs he will give you information about your objective.
Where is the sercret room?
One of the rooms has two doors, but only 1 is the real one
Dose it work on joiplay
Yea
If you try switching characters in joiplay it gets really buggy
not sure why, but after upgrading health enough, ghosts stop doing damage entirely, meaning I can't view any sprites or make any money beyond using the vacuum
Do the health upgrades increase the character's maximum size, or just how many ghosts it takes for each size change?
The Health Upgrades doesn't increase max size (due to the game screen visibility), but at the max upgrade, the total health would be 5 ghost before going down (which means 5 sprites!).
I'm also getting the bug where upgrading anything breaks the door to the second room. Game is fun for the little bit I can play but the glitch means there isn't much more to do.
Heyya! Thanks for playing & sorry for the bugs >-<! I'll start developing again after updating my other game.
I was testing with upgrading stuff and it seams this problem only happens when upgrading multiple times between hunts
Also, is this game gonna be updated? Or no?
Yeah! Gonna fully fix & update for the full Ghosthunting project in early January. I still have other things to do & draw for now, so please kindly wait for it. Thanks!
Okay
Hey, the game soft locks whenever I upgrade anything... Its a good game, but unplayable until this bug gets fixed.
Noted!
after the first entrance it didnt allow to enter past the first room, and after upgrading health even allowing the ghost to hit you it just caused them to do nothing
Noted! Will fix on the next version. Thanks!
