Our take on Ghost Croquet
The party-game framing puts the focus on multiplayer disruption and changing roles, while the solo offering is limited to competitive Arcade play and leaderboards. The level editor adds community content, but the core structure remains match-based rather than campaign-driven.
What is Ghost Croquet?
Ghost Croquet is a multiplayer platformer in which one player controls the hero while the others take control of monsters and traps as ghosts.
The player who defeats the hero takes over that role, creating a continuing change of sides. Human-form players can gather gems and spend them on upgrades and items. Monsters have distinct abilities that can be combined with those of other monsters. Matches support up to 4 local players or up to 8 online. Singleplayer includes Arcade mode with global leaderboards. An integrated level editor allows players to make and share stages through Steam Workshop.
