About

Ghost Bust

Features
Read full description

Ghost Bust is a Halloween action game where waves of ghosts charge down the screen and your job is to stop them before they break through. Pick it up in seconds, keep playing for hours. Suited to casual players of all ages. What you will be doing: • Blasting ghosts as they spawn and swarm toward the bottom of the screen — let too many through and it is over • Taking on timed pumpkins and witches alongside the standard ghost waves, each adding a new layer of pressure • Collecting coins every time you destroy an enemy, building up a stash to spend between rounds • Visiting the in-game shop to spend those coins on cosmetics, including different shapes and colours for your energy shots • Managing the growing pace of enemy spawns as the game pushes you to keep improving your score Ghost Bust keeps things focused. There is one clear goal — hold the line — and the variety comes from the mix of enemies and the small but satisfying customisation options that let you put your own stamp on how the game looks. The coin economy gives you something to work toward even on runs that do not go to plan, and the Halloween setting gives the whole thing a look that fits the season without taking itself too seriously. Free to pick up and hard to put down — give the ghosts something to worry about. Support: https://ghostbust.co.uk
