3600 Ghosts

3600 Ghosts is an infinite platformer where you’re chased by... 3,600 ghosts and have to keep moving without falling. Every time you collect 50 glowing orbs, you gain a brief window to turn the tables and wipe out the ghosts.

It’s basically Pac‑Man with extra steps.

Very early prototype!

Made with Godot 4.5

Controls

• Move with the arrow keys
• Jump with the spacebar
• Move the camera with the Mouse, Zoom-in/Zoom out with Mouse Wheel

Goal

• Collect 50 glowing orbs to defeat the ghosts
• Don’t let the ghosts catch you

Features:

• Fluid player movement: wall slides, wall jumps, double jumps, coyote time, and Sonic‑style acceleration
• Randomly generated levels: no two runs are ever the same, and not all the runs are perfectly playable
• Massive on‑screen action: hundreds (or thousands!) of enemies moving at once

This is a very early access prototype - expect chaos and surprises!
