A Family Affair
I’m back from the lab with a new and improved multitool upgrade. I hope we don’t have to do this too many more times because I’m starting to run out of spare parts. I suppose I could salvage some from the zapper... Hmm, thoughts for later! Anyway, we’re ready to get the ball rolling today back at Skelly Manor.

Oh... "go do something else" is kind of misleading. Just talk to him again. This plot seems really poorly thought out. Anyways, this game is impossible.

I was so nervous about this game that I put it off until today. It took me a minute, no joke.
Try using the spacebar once you get them super close, that way you can get away and hopefully land somewhere that'll force them to collide.

And I guess you could say "well they could just have made it so if you press both up and left you'd go to the upper left or something", and well, maybe, but a slip of the finger and you make 2 movements instead of one and screw yourself over since they only move when you move. It would sacrifice accuracy I guess.

You'd understand why not just use the arrow keys if you read one of the multiple comments explaining why. It's because you have to move diagonally. It's not up down left right, it's up upper left left lower left down lower right right upper right. So there's why. It makes sense.
Y'all can complain it was bored or whatever but truly, the arrows make sense

And as soon as I complain, boom, I complete it. XD
My strategy, get the ghosts to the corners as close as you can then teleport so you won't hit a ghost. Then it's a matter of rinsing and repeating, weasling your way from one side to another til the ghosts kill each other.

If I hadn't seen the suggestion to use the spacebar key I never would've completed this plot step.

Easy answer: No. Have yall never played a PC game with WASD as your movement keys? It's easy, spend more than 5 minutes on it.
No need to be rude.
I personally don't understand why anyone would code two different versions of arrow pads but NOT INCLUDE ACTUAL ARROW PADS WTF SERIOUSLY

At first it was hard and then it was really easy. Just takes some getting used to and maybe some luck too :P

I actually caught on to this game pretty fast and enjoyed it. Thanks! Now moving on to more plotskis ;)

This game is extremely annoying.. And to those who asked why not use the arrow keys, if you used the arrow keys you wouldn't be able to move diagonally.
Though I can't seem to beat this no matter what I try. Not a fan.

Thanks, Speiro, that does make more sense. 8-bit ectoplasm from a 'sploded ghost would definitely explain the sudden appearance of the snowflake looking thing.
Trap it, Ray!

That was the worst game ever.
Don't worry Ian, I won't mention a THING to Jaxon about all this.

Oh...there were diagonal up and down keys. Now it makes so much more sense why we used number/letter keys as opposed to arrow keys xD Oh well, I finished the minigame anyway.
I've been liking the plot so far. I'm pretty interested to see how it unfolds.

I think it's both? When two ghosts run into each other, they both die and leave behind a little ectoplasm puddle. If any other ghosts run into that, they'll die too.
If I'd realized the snowflake looking thing is what eats the ghosts and not the ghosts themselves (as the directions suggest is the case) I might have saved myself so may failed gameplays.
"Crashing into each other" is not the same as "using a ghostbuster trap in the middle of the room".

I think I should've read the instructions better lol. If I had used the spacebar I would've beat it sooner. xD

I'd respectfully suggest editing the directions for clarity.

You've earned the Spirit Evader achievement!
Okay, that took a bit of brain cells. I kept wanting to use the arrow key. :)

The character development is so awesome, although I must admit in my browser it seems to load Ian last so whenever I load up the manor he appears in a jumble of glitchy parts before loading the full picture. Spoookyyyy

I'd like to give a big thank you to my spacebar... you saved me more than once. I miss the arrow keys though.
I like the game a lot more than the one at the "other" place.
At the risk of repeating myself, which at my age is understandable, I hope these games stay around. :)

that feel when I joined 4 1/2 years ago and had a crush on Ian first time I saw him
that feel when I hoped he would get more site appreciation
that feel when everyone wants his D now
well then... :I

4th removed? Wouldn’t that mean that they were pretty far apart in age? You try to ask Ian for more information.
NO. STOP. GO HOME. Please, I already broke that cup,and now with this cousin thing, I’m going to be lucky if I ever get invited back again! Just leave me to wallow. I’ll call you back when I’ve got this newest bit of fuel distilled and know how much more we need to gather.
awe Ian, no need to wallow. I'm sure Jaxon will invite you back. :D

Guys, calm down. It's not like you have to get it on the first try, you get the achievement no matter what. Yeah the instructions could have been a bit better, but it's not the end of the world if it takes a couple of tries. :)

Also: This just gets more and more suspicious about Jaxon's previous, uh, "condition" before he was zapped.

That bit about the zapper
I seriously hope this ends up in Ian actually grabbing stuff from Euclid's zapper
and getting into a fistfight with him

It should have been made MUCH clearer that there are more directions than just up/down/left/right, and also that it is essentially impossible to win without using the space bar. The game itself isn't that bad, but the instructions were just worded so poorly.

The explanation in-game was kind of a mess. :/
A simple diagram or two would have gone a long way.

You can move up, down, left, right, or diagonally. Each time you move, the ghosts make one move toward you. You have to maneuver so that they crash into you or into the ectoplasm they leave behind when they die.

The different up keys do up left, up, up right. Same with down! That's why we couldn't just use basic arrow keys.

Tucker
That was a bit confusing. Took a few tries to just understand wtf I was suppose to do. Then it took a few tries to win. lol

you can move in shoutheast, northeast, northwest ans southest, that's why we need 8 keys, not only 4

There are more directions than just up, down, left and right so the arrow keys aren't enough, I believe!
