Ghost on a Loop

Your Mission

Collect as many green crystals as possible. Each time you collect a crystal, an echo of your previous movement is created. The more crystals you collect, the more ghosts will be in your way. 

Controls

• WASD to move, Mouse to look around. 
• Mouse to look around
• Space to Jump
• Shift to Dash (and Evade). Both needs to be unlocked
• Esc or P to Pause/Unpause
• Backspace to restart immediately

Maps

• Level 1 is a basic Ring, no pitfalls. 
• Level 2 introduces beams that force you to get close with your ghosts.
• Level 3 is a broken space stations. Many gaps, many jumps. Good luck, you will need it. 

Tips

The arrow shows you the fastet direction around the circle. Once you get close it will directly aim at the crystal.

Be aware of frentic movement as it will be echoed by the ghosts. The same goes for excessive dashing, it will only make your life harder, when the ghosts zoom over the map (Been there, done that)

Dashing is quite overpowered in the air. Fun but dangerous.

Every 4 crystals you can collect a boost. You can always get more time, remove 2 random ghosts or get a random powerup.

For Level 1+2 you roughly need 10 seconds per crystal. For Level 3 you can need 20 seconds or more. 

In Level 3 Time becomes crucial as traversing is way slower.

The longer you play, the higher the points per collected crystal are.

It is possible to skip through the middle, but requires some upgrade (Double Jump and/or Jump Height to get enough speed).
