A haunting of ghosts crowds the room as you desperately dodge and weave your way to the exit. This small yet challenging platformer is inspired by bullet-hells and arcade-style single screen games.

The rules are simple. Touch the exit to proceed, touch a ghost and be sent back one stage. 

How to Play:

  • Running: A/D or Left/Right arrows
  • Jumping: SPACE or W or Up arrow (can vary jump height based on holding the button)
  • Reach the exit to proceed
  • Don't get spooked!

NOTE: You can input a custom seed on the main menu.
Used to control the random stage generation (just type anything you like and it'll be used as the seed).
This is useful if you want to practice the same sequence of procedural levels over and over or perhaps challenge a friend.




This game was made in a week for the Alphabet Superset, a creativity challenge about making a new creative piece each week, based on letters of the alphabet.
E is for 'exit'.

Thanks for playing!

I don't know how I feel about this, sometimes I would enter a room and instantly hit a ghost, sometimes I'd instantly hit a door. The fact you don't die but go back to the previous level is a good loop for this system, but I felt that being unable to control the outcome of entering the new room left everything up to chance.
