Our take on Ghostland Yard
The likely sticking point is the precision platforming: players who struggle to time jumps around traps may bounce off before reaching the later worlds. Near-instant respawns keep attempts moving, but they do not remove the need to master the controls.
What is Ghostland Yard?
Ghostland Yard is a 2D precision platformer about finding Poe’s missing ghost friends and uncovering what happened to the investigators.
Run and jump through more than 250 handcrafted levels across 6 worlds, with new gameplay elements in each. The game includes 6 bosses, bonus races, traps, secret areas, and hidden levels. Players can compare times on leaderboards, race against recordings of friends, and watch replays. Controls cover movement and jumping, with near-instant respawns. Accessibility options include full controller support, remapping for keyboard and gamepad, and an infinite-jump mode. A soundtrack accompanies the platforming.
