This game was made in 4 days as part of the GMTK Game Jam 2025!

Ghost Queue is a physics based platformer where every action you take is recorded and played back when you respawn. Utilize your past (now dead) selves to help you reach the goal! Build a staircase out of skeletons and ride your ghosts over gaps while avoiding hazards and solving puzzles.

The game currently has 30 levels to try and beat. Physics unfortunately gets a little wonky in the browser version, so I encourage you to download the Windows version if you find yourself frustrated. Post-jam, I plan on potentially adding more mechanics, more levels, and more polish! :D

Update: The game is now planned for an official Steam release! The steam version will have 100 levels, tons of new mechanics, collectables, a level editor, and more! Please look forward to seeing Ghost Queue on Steam!

Controls:
A & D : move left and right
SPACE : jump
SHIFT : sprint

All the coding and game design was done by me, Pinapl :), the art was created by Jay2a, and the sound design and music was done by Flowerhead. Everything in this game was made for the jam, during the jam.

Thank you for checking out my game! I hope you reach the end <3

Very insane work, scope, art. Sometimes I wonder how games like these get made in 4 days. I do slightly question to make the ghosts affected by surroundings instead of just recording their positions though. It can make later levels rather infuriating when your actions permanently make the ghosts mess up

This is insane work for a 4 day jam! Killer work by the team ❤
