# Boo Glide

> Float a friendly ghost through the old house and scoop up the candy.

You're a friendly ghost in a white sheet, floating through a cozy old house on Halloween night. Hold to float up and let go to drift down, and glide between the hanging lamps and the bookcases, clocks and armchairs below. Every piece of furniture you float past is a point, and so is every candy you scoop up on the way. The house speeds up a little as you go, and the gaps get a little narrower.

## How to play

1. Hold anywhere on the screen, the mouse button, Space or the Up arrow to float up. Let go to drift down. Every way of holding gives the same lift.
2. Glide through the gap between each lamp and the furniture under it for a point. Don't bump them.
3. Scoop up candy for a point each. Some floats between the furniture, a little off your path.
4. The ceiling and the floor are safe to brush. Your best score is saved in this browser.

## Tips

- Let go a little before you reach the height you want: the ghost keeps floating for a moment.
- Short holds are easier to steer than long ones, especially in the narrow gaps.
- Look at the next gap as soon as you pass a lamp, and start drifting toward it early.
- Skip a candy that's far off your path. A point isn't worth a bump.
