Vacuum up adorable ghosts to harvest ectoplasm in this active incremental with a tight upgrade loop. You'll alternate between short bursts of ghost-sucking gameplay and purchasing incremental improvements organized across different rooms, building toward increasingly powerful vacuum enhancements. Best suited for players who enjoy hands-on incremental progression and don't mind grinding for access to new upgrade tiers.

About this game

I am a huge fan of incremental game

I am loving this game it was just what I was looking for in an incremental game.

The upgrades are laid out in "buildings" and the mouse icon is a vacuum.

Gameplay is a tight loop of relatively short run followed by upgrading then repeat.

edit: Dev removed issue that was stopping progress, so changed my review to reflect that as promised.

Boring. Upgrades split int rooms? Why? You grind money to unlock "rooms" what makes "upgrades" not fun... Also upgraddes are like "more money", "more size", "damage"...

A nice chill game to play on my Steam Deck. I like how the music subtly changes the further in you get and how addictive getting all the upgrades is.
The only thing I want to know is - are the ghosts all ok together in the vacuum or are they going to form a big super ghost and get revenge someday?

Community feedback patch

44 days ago
After some feedback from the community I've fixed some issues: - Find all Jumboo achievement should now trigger for everyone (anyone that can't trigger it may have to start again to trigger it. Apologies!) - Fixed issue where buttons in main menu wouldn't work for some unless language was changed - UI fixed for Ultra widescreen users That's all for now! Next update will be adding some more detailed icons and some optimisation for the upgrade screen.

The demo for A Game about Sucking (up Ghosts in a Vacuum) is out now! In it you'll find tons of ghosts to suck up and many upgrades to buy. The demo features 2 Ghost artifacts and 2 Ghost sucking tools to find as well. Try to find them all on the sprawling upgrade tree!The first tool is the Ghost Trap. It's placed at intervals wherever your cursor is and sucks up any ghosts around until it runs out of power! Make sure to upgrade it to get the most out of it!Enjoy the demo! I'll be on the lookout for feedback to make the demo and the full game even better on release!
