Halloween ghost gameGhost Rush — one of 29 games in Padamz
A boy or a girl runs a winding trail through a haunted swamp at night. Candy stars fire on their own; your job is to steer, stay on the path and keep running while the ghosts close in.
Play Ghost Rush →How Ghost Rush works
Drag to steer. The trail bends, narrows and crosses plank bridges with broken planks; step off the path and you sink in the swamp. Ramps throw you over the water, forks offer a short way and a fast way, and tombstones, spiders, grave hands and rolling pumpkins block lanes. Every row of them leaves a lane you can reach.
Ghosts drift in from ahead and your candy stars knock them out of the air. Fifteen stages, and every fifth one ends at a boss that takes many hits. Step off the path and you sink: a heart and a moment lost, then you are back on the trail. Race a friend on the same trail by 3-digit code: both phones run the same course and see each other's progress.
Three things that help
- Steer early into a bend. The trail curves before you reach it.
- Take the fork with the speed arrows only when the lane ahead is clear.
- Against a boss, stay in its lane: the stars fire straight ahead.
Questions
Is it scary for children?
No. The ghosts are cartoon ghosts, nothing jumps out, and the sounds can be muted with one tap.
Can I play with a friend?
Yes. Race a friend on the same trail by 3-digit code, each on their own phone.
Is it free?
Yes, free with no account, in the browser and in the Padamz app.
