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.
