Uncover the truth about the Ghostland Yard investigators disappearance in this challenging 2D platformer. Travel across the world in more than 250 handcrafted levels to find your friends!
Players consistently praise the game's controls, describing them as "fluid and creamy" with a "tightly tuned character controller". The simple yet accessible control scheme, featuring left, right, and jump inputs, allows for "almost instant respawns" and a smooth platforming experience.
The gameplay is widely regarded as challenging, drawing comparisons to other acclaimed precision platformers like "Celeste" and "Super Meat Boy". While the early levels may be on the easier side, the difficulty ramps up significantly in the later "Apocalypse" stages, which are described as "extremely long" and requiring "continuous platforming so precise and difficult".
Despite the game's challenging nature, players express a sense of satisfaction and reward from mastering the platforming mechanics. Reviewers mention that with "great mastery of your character, you will be able to find new paths, shortcuts and secrets!" This allows skilled players to push for faster times and compete on the in-game leaderboards.
Across the 250+ handcrafted levels, the game introduces a diverse array of new gameplay elements and mechanics in the different environments, ranging from saws and wind to cannons and rotating platforms. This variety keeps the platforming fresh and engaging throughout the player's progression.
The game's focus on speedrunning and competitive elements is praised by several reviewers. Features like leaderboards, replay systems, and the ability to race against "ghosts" of your friends' best times are highlighted as excellent additions that extend the game's replayability and encourage players to continuously improve their skills.
