Ghost in the Mainframe is a keyboard & mouse twin-stick shooter inspired by popular arcade titles & old Mac homebrew games.

You are a lost soul absorbed by a malignant artificial intelligence program instead of passing on peacefully.  Now the AI wants you to battle against its digital army to strengthen itself!  Collect colorful data crystals and blast through over 40 waves of infinitely spawning enemies to free yourself from the mainframe.  But it's not going to be a cakewalk...

FEATURES:

  • Smooth, independent keyboard & mouse controls
  • 40+ semi-random "waves" to fight through
  • Gradually increasing, adjustable difficulty
  • Checkpoint & autosave system
  • Over a dozen enemy types each with custom AI
  • Powerups to make your ghostly life a little easier
  • 100-spot high score list - compete with your friends!
  • Custom-made achievement grid (inspo: Kirby Air Ride)
  • Unlockable "Nightmare" difficulty, true to its name
  • Unlockable "Endless" mode with random levels
  • Retro SFX and a collaborative, eclectic soundtrack
