Procedural Generation. The battle takes place across twelve procedurally generated star systems, meaning that every game played is a unique experience.
Unique Controls. Star Ghost features a fresh new control scheme, requiring just a single button to manoeuvre (hold to ascend / release to descend). The left control stick can be used to bias the direction of fire, or if pushed to the left, to hold fire and engage a traction field.
Unique Upgrade System. There a numerous pickups to found in the wreckage of the battle. Some provide temporal upgrades to existing systems, others introduce new capabilities (missiles, vaporizers, shield generators etc.) and then there are viruses which, if collected leave the Star Ghost unable to fire its weapons. Fortunately, players can turn these devious devices into smart bombs if they can just maintain a steady flight path for long enough.
Atmospheric Sound Track with Full Voice Over. David’s soundtrack is complemented by a full voice over from Michelle Sundholm, providing helpful guidance to the player and the occasional witty comment.
