A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Posted September 12, 2019 by Matt Glanville

Ghost Grab 3000 has a final release date...

🎃 HALLOWEEN 🎃

But until then... version 0.17 (alpha) is here!

Pre-release builds are available exclusively to $5 Patrons.

Here's a new look for the intro sequence...

And a placeholder tutorial...

Changes:

Added achievements, both online (for Steam) and offline self-contained ones.
Added in-game achievement menu to see which ones you've unlocked and progress towards others.
You can now choose between 3 power-ups when you advance to the next wave, instead of being given a random one.
Reverted previous change for number of hearts in all Core mods.
Added 'How To Play' menu with tutorials (placeholder graphics for now).
The level 2 background is now displayed during the intro.
New sprites for the basic ghost enemy and the grabber enemy.
Some power-up sprites have been redrawn for more clarity.
Robot Shop button moved to "Get Ready" screen from main menu.
Frame rate is now capped at 120 to prevent graphics card take-off into orbit.
Steam Cloud saves are now placed in a sub-folder for your Steam ID. This means you can have multiple Steam accounts on the same OS user account with their own separate save files.
Added 'flavour text' to level select.
Redesigned the 'next wave' UI information.
