10-Second Ghost

About

10-Second Ghost is a co-op platformer where you partner with a ghostly version of your past self to solve puzzles. You control both characters simultaneously, but the ghost follows commands issued 10 seconds earlier. This creates a chain of delayed actions that require precise timing and forward planning. Each level demands you anticipate future obstacles while navigating the present, using the ghost as a tool to manipulate objects, trigger switches, or create temporary bridges. The 2D levels mix arcade-style jumps with logic puzzles that hinge on overlapping your and the ghost’s movements. The game’s standout mechanic adds a clever strategic layer to classic platforming. With no checkpoints in early stages, mistakes force you to rethink your entire approach. Community playtests note the learning curve can be steep but satisfying once mastered. The minimalist art style and tight control scheme keep focus on the core challenge. While short, the level design feels varied enough to justify the low price point. A fresh twist on local co-op that works just as well as a solo puzzle exercise.
