Face off against bloated ghosts, laughing pumpkins, creaking skeletons and many other strange creatures of the night. Use your agility and speed to tackle your enemy or plan the perfect strategy to avoid confrontation. It’s entirely up to you!

Choose between different Ghost Sweepers with their unique abilities. Scrounge around for secret stages and treasure to unlock useful items in the shop and uncover bonus levels. Are you smart and skilled enough to defeat the Dark Lord… and maybe steal all his gold!?

“Ghost Sweeper has been a labor of love for us,” said said Nrupesh Gajjar of Total Console.

“We got our start making games as far back as the Commodore 64 era, and have always had a soft spot for 80s puzzle games. Ghost Sweeper takes that design, but applies it with a modern coat of paint to create something that will appeal to gamers of all ages.”
