TAP THE DEAD — GHOST HUNTER Tap fast. Stay alive. Climb the haunted ranks. A pure-skill reflex arcade game set across five haunted worlds. The undead drift up from the screen edge — tap them before they reach you, dodge environmental hazards, and chain combos to send your score (and your rank) climbing. Easy to learn, brutally hard to master. FIVE HAUNTED WORLDS • Dark Forest — moonlit purple mist. Beware the Skull King. • Graveyard — gravestones fall from above. Shadow ghosts split when tapped. • Haunted Castle — swinging chandeliers, fire ghosts, the Vampire King. • Haunted Ship — lightning strikes, ice ghosts, the Drowned Captain. • Space Cemetery — meteor showers, void ghosts, the Cosmic Reaper. HUNTS — TIME-TRIAL CHALLENGES Race the clock across six hunt types: Color Hunt, Bird Hunt, Survival, Block Breaker, Pumpkin Pop, Streak Run. Each clears a level to unlock the next, with a dedicated Hunts leaderboard so you can chase the global #1. LIVE LEADERBOARDS • Global all-time top scores • Weekly leaderboard that resets every Monday • Hunts leaderboard for time-trial bests • Your unique tag (e.g. GhostHunter#A1B2) follows you across devices BOSS FIGHTS Every world ends in a boss with its own attack pattern and reward: Skull King, Zombie Lord, Vampire King, Drowned Captain, Cosmic Reaper. Beat them for bigger payouts and bragging rights. UNLOCK MORE • Earn coins as you play, spend them on ghost skins • Daily login bonus and streak rewards • Inferno and Blizzard VIP-only skins • VIP badge that shows on the leaderboard VIP LIFETIME — ONE-TIME UNLOCK Get every world, every VIP skin, the leaderboard badge, no ads forever, and 2× daily login coins — all for one lifetime payment. No subscription. Cheaper than buying the worlds individually.
