About Ghost Runner
Ghost Runner is a small endless runner where you move a little white ghost up and down between ragged gray walls and try not to touch the spiky black heads in your path.
Two keys do almost everything. The Up and Down arrows shift the ghost, the spiky heads with their glowing white eyes keep coming, and when a run ends you press R to start again.
It's quick to load and quick to learn, with a cute ghost set against a moody gray backdrop. You can play Ghost Runner online here with a keyboard.
How to Play Ghost Runner
- Click inside the game window first so it picks up the arrow keys.
- Press Up and Down to move the ghost.
- Slip through the gaps between the spiky heads.
- Press R to restart when a run ends.
- Keep going as long as you can to push your score higher.
What to Expect in Ghost Runner
Ghost Runner is an endless runner boiled down to one job: stay out of the way. The controls fit on two keys, so it works as a quick break between other things.
The ghost is the bright spot in a gloomy gray scene, and the spiky heads stare back with glowing eyes. Despite the ghost, it's cute rather than scary. Play Ghost Runner free in a spare minute and see how far you get.
Tips for Ghost Runner
- Tap the arrow keys instead of holding them, so the ghost does not overshoot a gap.
- Stay near the middle of the screen. It leaves room to move either way when a spiky head lines up with you.
- Look at the next spiky head coming, not the one you're passing.
- Restart with R right away after a crash to keep your rhythm.
- Keep your hand off the mouse. A stray click outside the game window can stop it from reading the arrow keys.
