GhostGame

GhostGame is an extremely fun roguelike that brings a refreshing perspective on the bullet-hell games we've all grown to love. Every level consists of a randomly generated set of enemies, that fly across your screen in an attempt to kill your new ghost friend. The use of an energy based attack system forces players to be careful with how they spend said energy. Each stage has a different set of unique enemies with varying attacks and movement that will keep you on your toes. Everytime you start a new game, you start with a set number of lives. These extra lives allow the player to make a decision, either continuing your current run or going to the shop, turning death into a major gameplay mechanic. The game executes this concept well, resetting the wave's progress but allowing the player to purchase upgrades with the "ecto" they picked up previously. You can also pick up xp, which will allow you to level up and purchase game-changing abilities. With numerous abilities and upgrades, there are plenty of combinations to experiment with. If you do run out of lives, however, you will be killed permanently, and any upgrades or skills you acquired from the shop will be lost. While in between runs, you can take any "Mun" you collected and spend them on unique permanent upgrades that will help you throughout all of your runs. This game is no walk in the park, yet has a nice relaxed vibe to it, and as such will be able to satisfy both casual and hardcore gamers. There's plenty of challenge and content, with a unique run every time, with varying waves and upgrade rolls. I can wholeheartedly vouch for this game and the hours of fun you can have with it.

As a co-developer of many years with Mottafier, I can't even begin to speak on the amount of creativity and heart that bleeds into his projects. GhostGame is certainly no exception to this. I am honored to say I had a hand in development of this project, being the director of musical composition. I was often the visual artist for our co-developments, so I never truly got to see what my partner was capable of in that front. Through 2 years of development, I watched GhostGame's art direction grow stronger and stronger, falling in love with the level design and character animations more and more each day. He takes you through a variety of settings, with new enemies and bosses to accompany each, all with their own unique forms of attack and defense. Mottafier has created highly intuitive, yet highly challenging and intricate gameplay that I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on. It's clear to see after playing this game that he puts a lot of time and thought into creating a comfortable and immersive experience for the player. As a programmer and artist, he has absolutely outdone himself with GhostGame. I highly recommend playing it, not only as a friend, but as a long time collaborator and fan of his work!

Beat the bosses, hired an eyeball, became pizza, and broke a vacuum cleaner 10/10

yes

I saw this on Reddit that this was some of this dev's first games. And it's charming to boot. Buy it. It's cute.

HOLY ♥♥♥♥ HOLY ♥♥♥♥ THIS GAME IS SO UNDERRATED SOME DAYS I JUST PLAY THIS FOR HOURS BC HARDMODE MAKES ME WANNA KILL SOMEONE BUT AAAA I LOVE THIS GAME

GhostGame is the first of (hopefully) many games released by Mottafier on Steam. That being said, it is not the first game created by him at all. He's created many fantastic games for events that I have played, and I have to say, I'm super excited to see what he dreams up next. While this isn't exactly my cup of tea gameplay wise, it is a very well constructed game, and I have no doubts that there are many people that will find GhostGame very enjoyable. If you're someone that's into permadeath (kinda) mouse controlled arena bullet-hell games, then you'll feel right at home here. The upgrade system is also [i] very [/i] well done, and can make for some interesting gameplay opportunities as your runs progress into the later stages. TL;DR: It's pretty fun 9/10 only because it's not my cup of tea genre-wise but I highly recommend because it's a good game and funds will support future titles by Mottafier.

this game is good and relaxing. it's challenging and test your skills.
