Armed with a single battery and a flashlight, you venture into the haunted mansion... Hide in fridges and under bedsheets, collect batteries and flash away the frightening ghost to win! Will you expell the ghost, or will the ghost expell YOU?

Ghost Attack! is a survival horror arcade game which can be played with up to two players locally. Everytime the player uses his flash attack, they lose one battery. Since only one battery can be stored at the time, the player is forced to carefully weigh their options when it comes to avoiding or engaging the ghost. When the ghost spots you without your batteries, run and hide! Make sure not to hide while in sight, or the ghost will know your hiding place. To win, use your flashlight to strike at the ghost three times in a row!

I could be missing something, but is there a way to download the pico-8 file to use with pico-8 directly?

This game is great, and I was looking to play it with my son on the tv using the pico-8 setup we have.

Hi, sorry for the late reply! I'm glad you enjoyed my game! I have updated the page and the .p8 should be downloadable now.
