Ghostie Hunt

You are a ghost hunter on a mission. But those ghosts are little friendly and cute. You have to get them before the time runs out! :timer: :ghost:

WASD - Move

LCTRL - Crouch

LSHIFT - RUN

Space -Jump

Left Mouse Button - Collect ghosties and open drawers

Right Mouse Button - Zoom

E - Grab pickable items

G - Drop items

ESC - Pause

Begum Mutluer - 3D & Game Art

Made with Unreal Engine. :tada:

Unfortunately Windows build has an issue with drawers. They only go one way. Linux build works just as expected.

UPDATE: Drawers are fixed beside additional fixes. Also difficulty a little bit lowered due to how hard it was before. Vram usage is lowered too.

You can get the latest build from itch.io. HAVE FUN! :smile:

I have a quad core Intel Core i7-7700HQ and GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile, running Manjaro Linux. Just what kind of specs do you require for your jam game?

@imberny Hey Berny. Sorry for the experience. I tested the game with two computers and I didn't notice the problem because we have 8GB vram in one and 6GB vram in the other. Game was nearly using 2.5gb vram and it's way too much for a 2GB gpu of course. We really didn't think about <=2GB gpus because of time. I will try to get another build for linux and windows w/low graphics hopefully it will work for everybody.

I was playing on Windows so I knew about the drawer issue. The game was really fun, but I played it like 4 times and could not find all 10 ghosts no matter what :( i picked up all the books and picture frames

@emmagsmith Hey Emma thanks for the feedback. We really had no time to test the game. We might adjust the difficulty for the post jam builds. Thanks again.

Hey @imberny , could you test the latest build? i managed to lower the vram usage to around 1.6-1.7gb so hopefully it might work for you. Cheers

Hey @emmagsmith if you still want to give a shot to our game it is easier and less buggier then before now. Have fun on jam!

@emozdemir Thanks, I was able to play it, just about! I closed every program/browser etc and managed to get a consistent 10 fps. Sure it's an older laptop, but your required specs seem quite unreasonable for the tiny scene you have. Add that to the fact you need to download, and I'm afraid not as many people will rate you. It's a shame! I went through with it because I thought the shaders were really cool in the screenshots. Good work on "grabbing me by the eyes"! I know asking for you to optimize a 3 day jam game is also a bit unreasonable, but thanks for at least letting me run it! I'll try it later on my windows desktop. Anyway, the visuals are fantastic!

I really liked the graphics! Atmosphere for October and I wanted Halloween cookies. Cozy :fallen_leaf: :maple_leaf:
I didn't quite figure out the controls and got stuck, but I liked replaying and realizing that you can fit all 10 ghosts into one room

Very nice graphics and fitting music. I never could find the last one on the third level so ended up giving up. Was quite fun to play and some of the ghosts certainly were tiny :smile:

Took me a few tries to track down all the ghosties in the first room. Just could not see the one in the pumpkin. Finally, just started clicking on everything. I love the art, it's really cute, nice outline shader. The game seems really polished. Great job. Had some issues with the controls, had to remember each time that drop was a different button.

The art style and the lighting is so beautiful, it works so well. I enjoyed trying to find them all, but was unable to. Even tho the lighting was pretty, for some parts, it was so dark to see anything, and I struggled to see things there. Overall, a cool game and a unique take on it.

This was a chill Halloween themed game! I liked how you guys approached it.Super cute idea!

Love the Halloween theming! I did have quite a hared time navigating the room as I frequently clipped through moved objects like drawers, books, etc. Also once a drawer is open, if you keep clicking, it continues to open - all the way to the opposite wall! Fun entry for the theme overall!

such a cute game! i played the updated version.
the atmosphere is both cozy and spooky, ane these little cookies are just adorable. i only wish maybe to have a mode with no timer, as i want to find all the little guys but miss one and then have to start all over again :) it would also be cool imo if the button for taking and dropping object was the same. had fun, thank you!

Fun idea, the controls are a bit of a mess (why is there a separate key for dropping?). Still, the graphics are pretty good.

This is a super cute game. I really like the art style, exspecially the little ghosts! Not only is this game on theme for the game jam, but also for spooky season, which is pretty cool. I do wish that the buttons for grab and drop were the same, but I honestly got used to it pretty quick so its only a small gripe.

Also, unsure if you all used unreal 4 or 5 for this, but the performance on my end was pretty solid aside from a screen tearing issue that was present the whole time. I have a 144ghz screen on my laptop which could have been causing issues displaying the frames evenly. If you two continue to work on this, it might be worthwhile to add a settings window where the player can customize some things like a v-sync toggle.

Cute and very challenging! They are hidden very well. You both did a great job :D I'll have to come back again to see where those last 4 ghosts on level 2 are lol

Very nice game, although I could only find 7 ghosts ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
(and I don't really understand why "drop" is the G key, and not Q or E for example, I forgot what was written in the description and it took me a while to find it...)
