I had a lot of fun smashing everything in the workshop haha! Okay, that wasn’t exactly the goal, but the menu already makes you want to play. Really cool idea to put a mini‑game right inside the menu — great job!

But where is he?

Its a really neat concept. I had a little trouble figuring it out, after the first two seals it says i need one more seal when i try to put another down. Not really sure what I'm missing, but I'll probably come back and try again

Clever idea!! i like the main menu. Showing what you have to do in the game but i think a clue will be useful for where is the poltergeist, clever game good implementation!! Great job

neat game. I didn't quite get the mechanic for how to catch the poltergeist, but I like the uniqueness of the idea! (I saw your video after I was finished...wish I watched it before hand lol)

The menu hooked me immediately! In-game I had trouble following which pot the spirit jumped into, but I really like the idea. Good job!

Thank you! I’m really glad you noticed that little main-menu interaction — it was one of my favorite details to add :)

Pretty fun! And perfectly on theme :) I liked the gameplay, even if I didn't fully understand how to capture the spirit :-D Nice work!

Thank you! That’s really useful feedback. I realized the capture condition wasn’t clear enough, so I recorded a short gameplay video showing the full process and added it to the game page. To capture the spirit, corner it until its vessel starts shaking, then hold E before the timer expires. Thanks for helping me spot this! :)
