About Toast The Ghost
Toast the Ghost is a retro platformer, with elements of many classic platformers combined into one crazy adventure!
Suitable for all ages, guide your hero through each round, using your ghost smashing toast, the toaster, and wall jumping skills to get the highest score you can.
Full playing instructions are included in the game, but the basics are:
Collect the 8 floating ghosts
Get them to the toaster
Toast any enemy ghosts in your way
Get to the exit door
The aim is to toast every Ghost in the fastest time possible and get to the level exit. The faster you go, the higher the score!
Each level awards a gold, silver or bronze medal depending on your score. You can only unlock the next level with Silver or Gold medals.
Controls:
Keyboard: AWSD (left/up/down/right), G to jump/select, H to fire, Esc for the restart menu
Controller: left stick to move, A to jump/select, B to fire, Start for the restart menu
There are 3 modes of play in Toast the Ghost:

Full disclaimer: I am a friend of the developer, have helped playtest various iterations of the game somewhat and did get the game for free. But it's a steal at the price anyway. This game is a real labour of love and it's been great to see it take shape! Toast the Ghost is a simple enough game, everyone's played a score-based platformer before, but this one replicates the actual challenge of a retro game. The game has only 20 levels, each when played correctly taking around 3 minutes or less, but you aren't going to be beating the game in only a couple hours by any means.

The score system is built around mastering each level, perfecting your route of collecting each of eight friendly ghosts hidden throughout then bringing them all back to the toaster for bonus points with each additional ghost in the chain - then making it to the exit elsewhere ASAP.
