Haunting Hour

Objective

Bring the ghosts from their arrival time to their destination time (as seen in their speech bubbles).  Ghosts only travel onto the clock via the minute hand and only reach their destination via the hour hand. You can take on up to four ghosts on the clock hands, but the one on the hour must be transferred next.

You get points for each successfully transferred ghost. Try to transfer as many ghosts as possible in 60 seconds.

Controls

Grab the minute hand with the cursor and spin it clockwise. Counterclockwise rotation does not work - because it's a clock - duh!

About this Game

This is the first actual game that my wife and I created together ever. We hopelessly underestimated how many aspects go into developing a whole game; how many assets you need; how many things need tweaking. 

We were completely swamped by all these tasks in conjunction with a rather demanding work week and not that many free hours for our weekend. We just pushed through, reducing scope wherever possible to achieve at least the most basic gameplay loop.

The game has some flaws. It is a bit frantic and has a very mixed art style and a minimalistic feature set. But we cobbled it together in 3 afternoons from absolute scratch; it works; it's done; it's fun; and we are so proud to have a finished entry and to be part of the GMTK Game Jam 2025.
