Paranormal Cleanup

The walls have eyes. You have a spray bottle.

Welcome to Midnight Maintenance Co. Your assignment: clean a haunted house before your shift ends.

There’s just one problem — the wallpaper is looking back.

Paranormal Cleanup is a reflex arcade created for Trijam #393, inspired by the theme “The Walls Have Eyes.”

Your midnight shift

• Spray the wall eyes while they are open. Closed eyelids block your spray!
• Refill your ectoplasm remover before the bottle runs dry.
• Chain cleanups to earn bonus points.
• Keep the House Anger meter from filling.
• Survive a 90-second shift and beat your personal best.

Controls

Mouse: aim and hold the left button to spray.
Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD to aim, Space to spray.
R: refill.
P: pause or resume.
Touch: hold and drag to spray; tap Refill to reload.

Leave the house cleaner than you found it. Preferably with fewer eyes.
