Enemies

Your typical ghost. Not too fast or strong, but takes a few hits to go down.

 A little smaller than average, but makes up for it with great speed. These guys like to get up in your face and FAST. 

The slightly stronger, faster cousin of the blues. They take a few more hits too.

This slow brute packs a mean punch and isn't too easy to put down. Luckily, he seems to leave a spare power up behind when he explodes more often than not.

Power Ups!

HEAL - Recover a small amount of HP.

UNLIMITED AMMO - No need to reload, just unleash heck! Blast away at your enemies without burning ammo for a short time.

UNLIMITED SPRINT - You really want to see some ghosts fly? Your sprint meter gets super charged and doesn't drain for a short amount of time.

Very special thank you to ParagonX9. Your music is absolutely iconic to the early 2000s internet culture, not to mention flash games / animation as a whole. I was so glad I was able to make it fit in this silly jam game. Something I've wanted to do since I was a kid. You're a legend, mate. Thank you!
