Hello everyone; meet Ghusty!

Ghusty is a lonely ghost in a large abandoned mansion, but the candles mysteriously all lit up! Help Ghusty travel through the mansion and poof out all the candles to restore peace and darkness to their abandoned home, but be quick! Time is of the essence. 

About the developer:

Hey, I'm PuppyJoe! Making a video game has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I decided this was the year I would give it some honest effort. I started a project called "Videogame Sketches" where I wanted to sketch out a video game concept once a month! Hah!

With work, life, not knowing anything, and all the in between.. it took me a lot longer than a month! I was still determined to finish this before my next birthday, and here we are. 

This game is a pure concept and is a playground for me to explore and learn how to make a video game. All of my painful progress I released (still releasing) as Devlogs on my youtube channel. Here's an example:


So, now what?
.. enjoy!

I would love feedback and thoughts. I'm not certain if I'll continue finessing this concept into a full game, or if I'll move on to another sketch. I think that depends on us! Let me know what you think! 

Thanks for humoring me as I chase a life long dream that I hope is just the beginning . Now, hurry! Ghusty can't do this alone! Have a great time poofing out some candles!

MAC version coming soon!

Hey Puppyjoe,
Just tried the game out and it's very reminiscent of FlappyBird crossed over with Boo from Mario - neat concept! I like the ability of blowing out candles and having to acquire the gusts of wind to do so.
Some minor feedback:
- Add in some threats to the character (including lit candles)
- Have the main Start/End Screen start on the "Start Game" being lit up.
- Adjust the sensitivity of the player controls a bit, I found it a bit too high to gain control.
- Make the main character a little bit bigger as it's a large area.
Overall, I like the noir art style, and I can see the game developing! Keep going!
