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.

stuck in the plant room i dont have safe code or a way to get out door that needs a flat heat screw HELp


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.
I have searched every room in Skelly Manor, yet it still says I have never been there...Am I doing something wrong?
I can't really see that resemblance between jaxon and elwood. darn it spooky old man and adult stuck in pre-pubescent child's body

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!

OMG! I cannot play this game. I keep goofing up and cant remember what keys do what, gahhh

whose idea was it not to use arrow keys for the directions? D:

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
Wow, do I hate this game.

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
