Ghost Dash

Hold to rise. Release to fall. Beat your friend's ghost.

Ghost Dash is a tiny one-button arcade game. Every day there is a new course: fly a drone through its gates for up to 90 seconds, then send a challenge link. Your friend plays the exact same course against a replay of your run, your "ghost", and sees live whether they are ahead or behind.

How to play

• Hold (touch, mouse or Space) to rise, release to fall.
• Pass gates to score. One crash ends the run.
• Beat today's ghost, then send your own.

What makes it different

• Course of the day. A fresh course every day with its own colours. Best score and ghost are kept per day, so there is a reason to come back tomorrow.
• Challenge links. Your run travels inside the link: no account, no backend, nothing to install. The receiver's game replays it, so scores cannot be faked.
• Rematch chain. Reply links carry the round number and who beat whom, so a duel can go back and forth for days.
• Streaks. Finish a run every day and keep the streak going.

Runs in any modern browser, phone or desktop. Also at ghostdash.app, which is where challenge links land.

Made with TypeScript, canvas and Web Audio. Deterministic fixed-tick simulation, so a replay gives the exact same result on every device.
