The first update to Ghost Grab 3000 is here! This is a free update for anyone who has purchased the game. Please download the new version for the best experience. One of the changes in this update was in part requested by No Hands! Lets Play, who is playing the game using only his chin. In earlier versions, the mouse cursor was always locked during gameplay. You now have the option to unlock it so you can use third party software to control the game using the mouse.

Changes:

When playing on ultra widescreen displays the game's aspect ratio is now clamped to a 16:9. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, it addresses a number of problems where menus and interfaces would not display correctly. Secondly, all players now have the same (or similar) size gameplay space. This puts all players on an even playing field, ensures consistency of difficulty and makes leaderboards more fair.
Black borders may be displayed at the edge of the gameplay areas if your display is not 16:9.
Added a 'Cursor Lock' setting in the Options menu. By default, the cursor is hidden and displayed at different times depending on the game state. You can now force it to always be hidden, or always be visible and unlocked.
Saving data is now split into smaller chunks so it's quicker when exiting certain menus.
An icon is displayed over the Robot Shop button if there are mods available to buy (this was included in v1.0 but was not in the previous patch notes).

Bug fixes:

Ghosts are now correctly knocked away if you Boost or EMP them while they're close to the edges of the screen.

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback so far! I'm working on some more changes and updates so please follow my Steam Developer page to stay up to date. Matt

Release

Indie Singleplayer

Humanity is long gone, but our wretched souls still wander the Earth.

Ghost Grab 3000 is a challenging arcade game with a unique mechanic: the Grapple Beam.

The goal is simple: score as many points as you can while enduring an increasingly difficult 'bullet hell' arena.

Chain ghosts together to build up your score multiplier, and survive endless waves to climb the leaderboards!

The Grapple Beam - how it works:

Latch on to ghosts with the Grapple Beam.
Once a ghost has been grabbed, you can instantly destroy it to score points.
Alternatively, increase your multiplier by chaining more ghosts together then destroy them all at the same time for a huge score!
But be careful: ghosts still pose a threat right up until they are destroyed (even if you've already grabbed them).
You decide when it's time to wipe out the chain... Will you risk taking damage to build up your multiplier, or sacrifice it to quickly control enemy numbers?

Key Features:

The Grapple Beam: A unique game mechanic that forces you to think quickly as you navigate a deadly flurry of bullets.
Endless arcade challenge: An addictive game of survival and endurance! Defeat as many ghosts as you can before you become a robo-wreck, then jump back in to beat your high score.
Special abilities: Boosts and shockwaves help you escape danger. Power them up as you play to survive ever-increasing enemy numbers.
Modify your Robot: Unlock over 100 combinations of 'Robot Mods' to customise your abilities.
Easy to pick up, hard to master: Quick sessions last a few minutes, so it's the perfect game to kill some time during a quick lunch break or compete with friends.
