About Gruftgeist

Gruftgeist by sorixd is a one-button arcade game set in a dark, endless crypt. You guide a small ghost through the gloom, steering it through the gaps between stone pillars. A tap, a mouse click or the spacebar gives the ghost an upward flutter; ease off and it sinks gently back down. That simple rhythm is quick to understand and genuinely tricky to master, especially as the pace increases and the openings grow tighter the deeper you get. Blue soul flames are scattered along the way and add bonus points, while medals mark your progress at 10, 25, 50 and 100 points. Rounds are short, often only a matter of seconds, so it slots easily into a spare moment. The pixel art and retro styling fit the mood, and the game runs in the browser and is built with Unity. If you enjoy fast reflex challenges with a spooky edge, this one is worth a try.
