Topsy Terrors

Ghosts have invaded this boy's dreams! Help him evade & spook them away using light in this on-rails action game!

Gameplay:

You move automatically on a looping track ladled with ghosts all around. You can halt your movements using the interact button.
For each loop you finish, you get a candle that allows you to spook a ghost away with a well-timed halt.
Spook away all the ghosts to clear the level, but the longer you take, the faster things can get...

Controls:

The game only takes one button to play, which can be:

LMB - (Mouse)
Z - (Keyboard)
Spacebar - (Keyboard)
Xbox A - (Controller)
Shoulder Buttons - (Controller)

Note: Mouse still required to navigate menus.

This was my first game jam, and the first game I've actually finished and publicly released in a while. Unfortunately I lacked a lot of time to put this together due to life, but it was fun and something I always wanted to do!! Feedback is greatly appreciated - be it positive, or critical.
