Ghost in the Machine

Ghost in the Machine is a platform game about escaping a run-down factory after a large explosion. You navigate its dark corridors and dangerous machinery, avoiding being crushed or mechanically separated as you make your way to the end.

Levels and secrets

You walk left and right and jump using a single button. Levels combine puzzles and hazards that require precise timing, and are played in a semi-linear order so you can move on rather than remain stuck on one level. Each level contains a secret collectible that reveals a piece of information about how you became trapped in the factory and can unlock secrets.

A built-in level editor lets you create levels to share with friends.

Graphics and sound

The graphics draw on Game Boy and MSX games, using only four shades at a time. A circular mask at the edge of the screen limits your view and adds to the dark atmosphere. The original chiptune music and sound effects were made with a Nintendo Famicom and Game Boy.
