More about this game
Ghost Gate Climber is a platformer where you guide a knight up five rooms of a haunted tower. Your goal is to reach the glowing crest at the top of each room while avoiding floating ghosts and clay traps. You can throw lances to defeat ghosts and collect hearts to restore armor. The ghosts move faster and become trickier in higher rooms. If you lose all three armor hearts or fall out of the room, you must restart from your current room's checkpoint.
Tips
- You have a brief moment of invulnerability after taking damage, use it to quickly reposition or jump to safety.
- Lances have a cooldown of 0.38 seconds, so time your throws carefully when facing multiple ghosts.
- Falling off the bottom of the screen costs one armor heart and resets your position, so watch your step.
