Humanity may be toast on account of the ethereal ghost army and all, but Kelly isn't too bummed out. She can eat as much candy as she wants! She's just gotta steal it from the ghost candy factories... She's gotta infiltrate them through the ectoplasmic power ducts.

Dodge their attacks and reach the end. Only hits against her main body count. Be careful to stay within the boundaries - it's dangerous where you cannot see. Focus with the space bar to change the shape of Kelly's magic AND get a big speed boost. Useful for dodging ghost-seeking batty waves! If you're struggling with a facility, return the the select screen and try a different one. Some are easier than others!

Note: Swapped out the binaries for builds with corrected scaling options.

Pretty neat game. I couldn't really tell the difference between each play through or what the space button did. But the game was solid and it was a fun and interesting idea. Well done!

Some games require a little more time to be tested, others are very fast, which is the case with this one, and even mine, which only takes about 40 seconds (according to some). In this case, I liked the character sprites and such, but the number of projectiles coming towards the character makes it impossible to dodge. It's death at the end of the journey. So I think this should be better balanced.

Song B best song.

Would be nice to have some indication of the player hitbox, I estimated it to be some parts of Kelly's clothes.

I collected a couple candies, the game feels fairly easy to me.
