In 'Ghostslayer' you step into the role of a fearless Magician who has dedicated his life to eradicating the supernatural threat plaguing the world. Armed with an arsenal of weapons, you must travel through the ghostly ruins to confront the evil spirits that have invaded this land.

But be careful: spirits are not your only enemies: creatures infested with demons and otherworldly creatures will stop at nothing to prevent you from completing your mission.

Take part in challenging battles with enemies and hone your skills in dynamic, adrenaline-filled battles. How long will you be able to resist the supernatural force? Only the strongest souls will survive in ' Ghostslayer. '

Very fun game to play through.

Artwork was amazing and music was a banger.

Overall seemed very polished well done!

@cresceda Thanks for the feedback, yeah we screwed up with the resolution a bit hah and realized it too late. And nope sadly we didn't implement descriptions to the cards

Perhaps should modify the screen size of the web version! Besides, the visuals and music are very cute~

Very good game. Well done. You could use a better bad guy pathing system rather than just passing through everything. A* algorithm maybe?

@jake-g @ne-sofa Sadly the web version of the game is a bit broken, the pause button just shuts the game entirely for some reason, but the desktop version works fine, same with the interface, Web version just pushes it away :(

Thanks for the feedback!

Cute game, with great music! It was kind of hard to focus on summoning with the overwhelming amount of enemies though - wish I could have seen more but I kept getting overwhelmed pretty early on haha. Good job!!!

Quite alright. Decently made shmup with ghosts :)

I wish the bottom part of the screen would not be cut at 1920x1080 browser resolution though, it's hard to reach the bottom panels.
