Read full descriptionHide full description
Ghost Panic is a fast arcade puzzle game about ladders, timing, and carefully placed traps. Run across six stacked platforms, climb between levels, and dig holes beside your character to catch roaming ghosts. Once a ghost is trapped, strike it with your shovel and send it through the floor. Stronger ghosts require deeper, carefully aligned falls. Features: • Arcade action built around timing and route planning • Increasingly difficult ghosts and faster later levels • Connected, playable ladder layouts • Rescue ladders and limited double-speed boosts • Score, high score, lives, and saved progress • Separate music and sound-effect controls • Clear touch controls and haptic feedback • Playable offline on iPhone and iPad Version 4 modernizes Ghost Panic for current iOS devices while preserving its compact retro challenge.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Face Knock at Free against Ghost Panic's $1.99. Face Knock also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Ghost Panic's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
