Plan your next Little Ghosties session

Our independent guide helps you observe each system in Little Ghosties, so you can note how growth, slime, and terrarium choices affect the idle loop while keeping the desktop tidy.

01 / THE GUIDE

Growth Observation

Record the time from feeding a Wisp to its transition to Juvenile, then to Fully Grown. Compare intervals across several ghosts to see natural variation.

  • Watch how quickly a newly fed Wisp begins pressing the button.
  • Notice the visual change when a ghost moves from Juvenile to Fully Grown.

02 / THE GUIDE

Slime Yield Tracking

Gather slime for a set period and note the amount collected. Repeat with different ghosts to identify any differences in slime generation.

  • Use the Hoover regularly to keep slime from covering the terrarium.
  • Check slime quantity after each collection to see how many eggs you can afford.

03 / THE GUIDE

Terrarium Placement Test

Move the terrarium to various screen corners and resize it. Observe how often you notice ghost activity without obstructing other windows.

  • Try different terrariums to see which visual style you prefer.
  • Open the menu briefly to switch terrariums without moving the ghosts.

04 / THE GUIDE

Currency Flow Comparison

Spend Button Currency on food alone for a while, then add toys. Compare the button‑press count to see how combined spending influences earnings.

  • Observe the button counter to gauge how much currency is being earned.
  • Balance spending on food and toys to keep ghosts active.

05 / THE GUIDE

Menu Interaction Timing

Open and close the menu quickly while ghosts keep pressing the button. Note any visual delay to streamline your workflow.

  • Place the terrarium near a screen edge to keep it visible yet out of the way.
  • Resize the terrarium to fit your workspace while still seeing the ghosts.
