## What is The Phantom Grid?

The Phantom Grid is a native iOS arcade game built 
from the ground up with modern controls, smooth 
performance, and 15 hand-crafted levels.

COLLECT. DIG. TRAP. ESCAPE.

Run across platforms, climb teal-glowing ladders, 
and collect every gold orb to trigger the teleport 
exit. But enemies are hunting you. Dig holes in the 
floor to trap them, walk over them safely, and move 
on — before the hole fills back in.

HOW TO PLAY
- Drag anywhere on screen to move left, right, 
  up and down ladders
- Double tap the left half to dig left — double 
  tap the right half to dig right
- Collect every gold orb on the level to unlock 
  the exit
- Trap enemies in holes and walk over them for 
  bonus points
- Finish fast for a speed bonus — every second 
  counts

15 LEVELS
From THE GATE to THE NEXUS — each level introduces 
new layouts, tighter spaces, and faster enemies. 
THE LABYRINTH will test your patience. THE FORTRESS 
will test your nerve. THE NEXUS will test everything.

FEATURES
- Smooth 60fps fixed-timestep game loop
- Drag-anywhere touch controls — no virtual joystick
- Interactive tutorial level — learn by doing
- Per-level leaderboard with initials entry
- Speed bonus timer — finish fast, score big
- Soft respawn — keep collected gold when you die
- Haptic feedback on every game event
- Background music with cinematic credits theme
- Synthesized sound effects
- Dev mode for power users

BUILT BY ONE PERSON
Every line of code, every level layout, every sound 
effect, and every pixel of art direction — by one 
developer. The Phantom Grid is a complete 
one-person studio project shipping its first title.

Coming soon: Sunken Market theme, Game Center 
leaderboards, and more levels.
