Animal Well's smooth platforming has captured the hearts of many players, and its in-depth exploration has made many of those players into die-hard fans of the indie platforming title. The game doesn't have a lot of mechanics, nor does it feature high-quality graphics. But the heart of the game strikes true, winning the heart of anyone who gives it a chance.
At the start of the game, players will come across a ghost that is seemingly impossible to go past. It spawns as soon as the player enters the room, but doesn't give them enough time to leave from the other side. Here's how to get rid of the pests for good.

How To Pass The First Ghost In Animal Well
The first two steps are the simplest ones, and take the player to the chamber left of the main telephone chamber. Here's what to do:
- Go into the left chamber, and use the crank to raise a platform.
- Jump across the water by using the platform.
- Press the yellow button present next to the door, then drop down and go to the left of the screen from the hidden passage underneath the door.
- Follow the passage to emerge underneath the right side of the screen, where a yellow button can be pressed.
- Climb out and go back to the main chamber. From there, go right, moving across the chamber into the room where the ghost spawns.
- Don't stop moving while the ghost is spawning, and climb up onto the ledge on top of the entrance of the chamber.
- From there, go left, moving back to the same place where the other two yellow buttons were located.
- After some easy platforming, the player will come out from the top portion of the screen, where the third, and last, yellow button is located. Press it and jump down.
- Use the crank to raise the platform and go across the now-open door.
- In the next room, players will come across the firework, a utility item that can be used to panic enemies and frighten away ghosts.
If the firework lands in the water, it will go out, letting the ghost kill the player. Make sure to aim the firework away from the water to prevent any accidents.
- Follow the path, banishing a ghost along the way, and come out into the main telephone chamber.
- Retrace your steps to the ghost room, and use a firework to frighten away the ghost.
Now, players can use the crank in the ghost room to raise a platform and move forward into the next area.
