Capture them all!

Spectro Electro is number one in the specter hunting business. How? Good people and better technology. Today we will be testing the latest in time bending capture technology!

How to play

You have 60 seconds to capture as many ghosts as possible. Capturing will give you energy and open the hatch to the next level. Spend energy to travel back in time!

Normal Mode
Once the timer hits zero, the game is over. This is the intended way to play.

Rewind Mode
A mode for players who want to complete the game without resets. Dying will reset the level, timer, and your energy.

Controls
  • WASD or ARROW KEYS = Movement
  • W, UP, Z, L or SPACE = Jump/Double Jump
  • D or DOWN = Drop through platform
  • X or K = Stop/Start Time
  • A/D or LEFT/RIGHT = Move back and forth through time
  • T = Die instantly

Important Tips
  • You can generate energy at any time by running back and forth quickly!
  • When you travel back in time, you maintain your momentum from beforehand.
  • Double jumping costs energy
  • Activating a plug costs energy
  • If you are stuck and don't want to wait out the timer, press T.

Hey, thanks for playing

Burnout hit hard during the development of this one so I didn't get to finish a lot of what I had planned. Namely a tutorial and more levels. I came very close to throwing in the towel, so the fact that I was able to submit something is a win in my book.

Shoutout to SmollSavage for last minute playtesting.
