Very cool visual, nice mouse controls and animated character response. A delicious combination of visual audio and gameplay.
Very good work!

So much effort went into this. 

The artstyle fits perfectly with the theme and humor and the throw mechanics is clear. Although I enjoy the movement with mouse sometimes the house felt too big and had to move back and forth since the ghost can go through the walls. 

Still I would love to have this on my switch or steamdeck.

Really loved The art style , and the feel

This is just gorgeous. I've been in a few jams that you guys are also in, and your games are just seriously nice and well done! The graphics are really beautiful and consistent, the music is nice and matching, the gameplay is rather unique too! Throwing bals (?) to catch ghosts and make them do forced labour is just the most hilarious thing I can even imagine. The game is super polished, even down to the UIs as well. Don't know how you managed within this short timeframe, but you did it regardless. Well done!

A minor criticism of mine would be the controls, that throwing by the opposite direction felt a bit strange, and messed up a bit of the pacing of the game. I would also like a way to cancel my throw, as sometimes the ghost just goes elsewhere and you are still forced to throw, and risk breaking something in the room.

Anyway, this is really well done! Good job!

I can't believe I swept the floor and did the dishes before taking care of grandma...
The art style, goofy run animation, screen transitions, colour palette, lighting and thumbnail are amazing. A visual miracle for a game jam. The gameplay is fun, I liked having the home as a base between missions and giving the little ghosties labour around the house.

Such a cool game, the goofy art style is amazingly implemented, I really liked it! The colors match the theme perfectly like that game where you play as the ghost and is trying to scare the people out of their house, good job guys!

Very cute game, the artstyle and presentation is great! The song you picked matches quite well, the gameplay albeit very short was fun and this will definitely do great as a full fledged game after the jam

Impressive! I took a while to realise you need to press the green tick to enter the ghost hunting stage, but things went smoother from there. The animations looked especially polished and organic. No idea how you managed all of it in just one week! :)

Such a cute and charming game! I love how you make the ghosts do your chores after you capture them. I could easily see this becoming a bigger game. The controls were a little janky at times, but I think that added to the charm!

I second that holy moly comment below. Everything is top notch, 5/5. And with just 2 people! I thought it was made by at least 4 people. Animations are crazy.

holy moly this is a crazy entry, charming and cute art, fun/intuitive gameplay, great music, its got everything

Loved the two jams and the animations. Very good presentation. I broke some furniture but it didn't seem to affect my gameplay that much. If anything would be missing, it's aim cancelling.

Good work!

I really enjoyed the overall vibes of your guys' game! Seems like there was a clear vision as to how it should look and sound. I did have a little trouble with the controls, but it was still fun!

My favorite game so far, 5 stars on everything! The concept is so goofy I love it. The visuals and animations are so polished, the musics fit super well, and it's a great gameplay loop you have between the house chores and the hunts. I wish I could play a full version based on this concept. It was really great, can't believe you made that in one week. Congrats!

It was a hard time in deed, but the jam is meant to push your limits!

It felt a bit weird in the beginning, but as I got used to it; I had so much fun! One of the best games I played in this jam, excellent work!

What an awesome game. Fells so polished visually. Such an awesome art style and really just felt smooth the play.

This is a great short game! Maybe add some SFX and it's genuinely perfect.
