Description official description

Ghostly Getaway is a Sokoban-style puzzle game where the puzzle can only be solved through dying. Poncho has been thrown into a jail cell with no way to escape — except through death.

Poncho can push boxes around to clear paths or make bridges across gaps, or to depress buttons or block enemies.

Touching spikes or an enemy will turn him into a ghost, with no way to turn back. The ghost form can pass through or over many obstacles, but can't interact with physical objects such as buttons or blocks. Only the ghost form can pass through the exit gate and finish the level.

Each level has a hard-to-reach pig that can be collected for extra challenge.

Made for the Ludum Dare 43 game jam.
