A short top-down tower defense game submitted for the UMBC GDC Spring 2025 Game Jam!

Reveal and defeat as many ghosts as you can in Ghost Invasion!

Use torches to expose the ghosts that will move to attack your position and blow them away with your cannon!

Justification For Theme:

Our game follows the Now You Can See Me theme by requiring the player to place down torches to reveal the ghosts and allow them to be hit.

Team Members:

We only had 2 team members for this jam, and this was both our first game jam and our first game made. 

Controls:

• Space to place torch at mouse position
• Left-click to fire your cannon in the mouse cursor direction

Known Issues:

• The ghosts may disappear upon leaving the light radius of the first torch it collides with. Placing down another torch near it will reveal the ghost again to be hit.
• The UI may be broken for smaller resolutions.

These issues will likely be fixed post-jam whenever we have a chance to continue developing the game.
