About Star Ghost
Combining challenging SHMUP action with a deceptively simple
control scheme, Star Ghost is a celebration of classic arcade
gameplay as seen through a twenty-first century lens. It's
vibrant, neon-styled visuals and spectacular particle effects
are complemented by an atmospheric soundtrack by David Wise.
Star Ghost challenges the player to patrol 12 beautifully
rendered star systems, navigating the fragments of exploding
planets, surviving intense asteroid fields and dogfighting
deadly Sentinel ships in a desperate bid to save the galaxy from
the Metagon Empire.
"Star Ghost is heavily inspired by a youth misspent in the
arcades. I hope it evokes fond memories for older gamers and
creates some wonderful new ones for younger players" said Rhys
Lewis, founder, Squarehead Studios.
