This was a real fun mechanic and I'm so thankful you put sensitivity controls on screen!  It's a shame the game itself didn't have audio but it turns out I know exactly what it's like to run out of time on that front.  Also, I thought the fill-meter timing was well done.  I really wish I could give an extra star for originality and theme, great job!

Such a cool mechanic / control scheme. I also has the bug where there were only 2 ghosts, but a restart fixed it like you mentioned below. Great work!

Alright, that's a mechanic you don't see every day! I wish it was longer, though, at least I only had two ghosts, including the cat.

thanks! and yeah there seems to be a bit of a bug where the game could speedrun you thru the ghosts after the first or second one... im not entirely sure on why that is, but restarting seems to help

My house mates were looking at me like I'm crazy! Love the control idea and unique ending!

Cool interesting game with the unique game play element.  I digged the story, dialogue, and climax.  I wasn't sure why there was marbled/garbled radio play at one point though.  I first tried talking and shouting then I realized I had someone in the next room... oops!  Thank you for the sensitivity control.  I hummed like Stormy Bison below and also sang the song.  Nice work!

If I only could get my cat to jump off the counter as easily. Love anything that reminds me of surreal late night 90s TV experimental computer animation.

I did mainly humming into my microphone for it.
