A little Matlab-esque shooter. I guess it is vaguely to do with the theme since you're alone ... with a ghost ... in space. Also, there's a kitten!

The game uses hand-written Javascript/HTML5 and isn't obfuscated and doesn't rely on any third party libraries. You can view-source on the HTML document and it should be fairly obvious where the code is. The graphics were generated using a project I wrote a while ago, BatchSVG (Google it if you're interested) and just straight rendering of Javascript primitives. Sounds using SFXR.

In hindsight, a game using similar mechanics, but on a simulated mini-golf course would have been both a better fit for the theme (alone: no enemies) and probably a better game. Ah well, if there's enough interest in this I might look into it.
