About Ghosts'n DJs
Ghosts'n DJs is a satirical run-and-gun platformer where you fight fake DJs and their evil overlords destroying authentic music, armed with weapons and deadmau5 head armor in a vibrant 16-bit arcade world. This love letter to 80s and 90s arcade classics combines retro pixel-art action with genuine house music production from legendary DJ Dr. Kucho! and a killer soundtrack featuring deadmau5 tracks.

In a parallel universe where a life is in a 16-bit pixelated form, the music scene has been dominated by fake artists and DJ’s. They rise to fame and become superstars in the media because of two important tools.
The first are ghost producers they hire to make music for them so they can release it under their names. The second is a dangerous power brought from the Pit of Averno. This mystical evil power is called MONEY.
These evil creatures are known as Devil Goata, Paul Douchebag, Paris Sheraton, Steve Karaoki and Pete Bullshit.

Their goal is to destroy the love for the music in this universe by making all of it to sound the same and stupid, using a terrifying and malicious artifact known as THE TEMPLATE.
There is still chance for real music to survive. Help Dr. Kucho! on his crusade for the love of music. Fight the fake and avoid cheesy music to poison the weak minds. Find the template and destroy it so ghost producers won't be able to make music for anyone and fake artists will be forced to live by their own merits… if they can.
It’s time to send these creatures back to the 16-bit hell they came from using musical supports as weapons. Ghosts‘n DJ’s is a project born from the love of music and it’s a tribute to the arcade games of the 80’s and 90’s. No ghost programmers were used in the making of this video game.

Ghosts'n DJs is fully created and starred by Dr. Kucho!, one of the most industrious and long-standing producers and DJs ever after almost three decades in the industry, with a portfolio of more than 300 house music releases, including his latest hit “Can't Stop Playing”.
The game proudly features deadmau5, the groundbreaking electronic artist who has changed pop culture as we know it with albums such “4 × 4 = 12”, “For Lack Of A Better Name” and “Random Album Title”. He’s also critically acclaimed for his singles "Sofi Needs A Ladder", "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" and "I Remember”. deadmau5 kindly allowed the use of his tracks “Polaris”, “4Ware", “GG” and "Three pound chicken wing" to be part of the soundtrack of this game.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Ghosts'n DJs captures the retro arcade spirit with solid pixel-art visuals and a dynamic electronic soundtrack, offering satisfying gameplay for those who enjoy challenging platformers inspired by classic titles. However, players are divided on execution: while some appreciate the difficulty and rewarding combat mechanics, others criticize poor input responsiveness, unclear mechanics like hidden item boxes, and inconsistent enemy AI that makes the experience feel more frustrating than fair. The game's brevity and free-to-play status earn it some goodwill, though it struggles to stand out in a
Игра Ghosts'n DJs - это удивительное сочетание хардкорного платформера и электронной музыки, которое затягивает с первых секунд. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в пиксель-арте, создаёт ностальгическую атмосферу старых добрых аркад, а динамичный саундтрек, меняющийся в зависимости от уровня и действий игрока, держит в постоянном напряжении. Геймплей невероятно сложный. Нужно быть готовым к мгновенной смерти от малейшей ошибки. Количество врагов, хитбоксы и необходимость запоминать расположение платформ требуют терпения и отточенного мастерства. Тем не менее, каждая победа над сложным участком карты приносит огромное удовлетворение. Несмотря на высокую сложность, игра не кажется несправедливой. Есть ощущение, что каждое поражение – это стимул научиться лучше. К тому же, наличие разных персонажей с уникальными способностями добавляет реиграбельности и позволяет подобрать стиль игры под себя. В общем и целом, Ghosts'n DJs - это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет хардкорный платформер с оригинальной концепцией и запоминающимся саундтреком. Будьте готовы умирать часто, но не сдавайтесь – оно того стоит!
I love it! Pure retro hommage to Ghouls'N Ghosts, with a very similar gameplay. And yes, I mean Ghouls'N Ghosts, not Super Ghouls'N Ghosts, not Ghosts'N Goblins. You can shoot upwards, and downwards while jumping. Like the OG, it's a bit difficult at first, but then it becomes really enjoyable. Weapons and the super power behaves differently from GnG which give a nice twist and a different approach. Only downside is that it is quite short BUT it's totally FREE, so just enjoy it.
Very close to a good game, decent for free, still not worth installing. Input is wonky, it has you climbing and platforming but the jumping to and grabbing on ladders/ropes is poor because you can't control the jump in the air. Items are located in the record boxes but you have no idea of knowing that until you shoot it 5 times after you wonder why record boxes are everywhere and shooting/jumping don't do anything(this is when all enemies die in 1 hit. Most enemies often can be ignored and pose no threat, should rise out of the ground faster to present more of a challenge. Flying enemies have odd behavior and just fly by you then go off screen before returning out of nowhere. Spent more time falling from missed jumps and just running than any actual platforming or killing enemies. It's free so might as well check it out, but sitting at 89% when it's more deserving of a 65-75%, still not going to recommend.
Ghosts'n DJs is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. At face value this is obviously a ripoff of Ghosts'n'Goblins which you'll remember from arcades and early home computers like the Commodore 64, only worse in every respect and targetted at zoomers, who will have no idea what an arcade or a Commodore 64 are, and featuring music from a literally unheard of hip hop music mutilator... so this godawful pixelcrap has the double pronged effect of making both video games AND music much, much worse than it was before it existed. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visu…
