Hey all, here's our first entry. We totally didn't run out of time on this one! The idea was to make a platformer where your only means of defense/attack was just one projectile.

Controls:

A: Left

D: Right

Space: Jump

Left Click: Fire projectile/Halt Projectile in mid air

Right Click: Call back projectile

R: Set up Lantern

Basically you're in the everyday situation of being stuck in a cave with ghosts, so what do you do? Head in one direction until you see light!

Luckily your little rangefinder on the top left of your screen tells you how far you have to go but what's this? The ghosts keep coming the further away you are from your starting light!

So of course the obvious thing to do is to set up lights along the way with the lanterns that you conveniently carry around. Fortunately for you they keep the ghosts away. Unfortunately they take 30 seconds to set up.

Oh and you've got a little ghost catcher to protect you, call it to you or send it away to wreck havoc at your will.

God speed.

P.S. You can jump in the air. Don't ask why. Fairy dust or something like that.
