GHOST SIGNAL
By @FabianArias
Match signals and master precise thrust to survive a neon gauntlet of interceptors.
How to play
- Tap THRUST to push the ship upward against gravity and avoid the top and bottom walls.
- Tap SIGNAL to cycle your ship signature between Cyan Triangle, Magenta Circle, and Yellow Square.
- Match the ship signature with each security barrier exactly when crossing it to score 100 points.
- Dodge incoming interceptors, heavy drones, and darts that cross your flight path.
- Drag the tactical map between runs to select your next sector route.
Controls
- Touch
- Tap the left side to thrust and the right side to cycle your signal.
- Keyboard
- Press the Up Arrow or Space to thrust, and the Right Arrow or X to cycle the signal.
- Mouse
- Click the on-screen buttons to thrust or cycle the signal.
More about this game
Your goal is to survive fixed deterministic routes to escape the mothership. You must master precise thrust to avoid the top and bottom walls while matching your ship's signature with each security barrier. The difficulty increases across nine distinct sectors, introducing faster enemies like Bouncers and Hunters, plus more complex barrier patterns. A run ends immediately if you collide with enemies or solid structures, or if you accumulate three detections from using the wrong barrier signatures.
Tips
- Every sector uses fixed deterministic patterns lasting between 25 and 40 seconds. Repeat attempts to memorize the exact barrier timing and enemy routes.
- A wrong signature adds one detection, but you can survive up to two mistakes. Three detections means you are intercepted and must restart the sector.
- Build a streak by hitting consecutive correct signatures to increase your perfect spoofs and maximize your final sector score.
Questions
What happens if I use the wrong signature?
A wrong signature adds one detection to your ship. If you accumulate three detections in a single sector, you are intercepted and the run ends.
How do I avoid the enemies?
You must time your thrusts to navigate around their fixed flight paths. Enemies like the Dart move extremely fast, while Hunters adjust their trajectory to target your ship's altitude.
Are the levels random?
No, every sector uses fixed patterns. You can learn the exact barrier, hazard, and enemy routes to master the escape through all nine sectors.
