About Runaway Ghost
Fly through gorgeous hand-drawn caverns in a physics-driven arcade runner that's easy to learn and brutally hard to master. Tap and hold to rise, release to dive. Thread tight gaps between jagged walls, smash through weak obstacles, and scoop up coins and stars to unlock power-ups and four ghost characters. The cave never stops scrolling — and neither should you. Now optimized for the latest iPhone and iPad. FEATURES • One-touch controls: tap and hold to rise, release to fall • Four unique ghost characters, each with their own flair • Five power-ups: Bubble Shield, Speed Burst, Super Rocket, Tiny Mode, and Star Bonus • 40 Game Center achievements to chase • Global leaderboards for high score and total distance • Runs native on iPhone, iPad, and iPad Pro • Cloud-free: your scores stay yours POWER-UPS Grab Bubble Shield to bounce off walls. Speed Burst doubles your velocity. Super Rocket punches through weak obstacles. Tiny Mode shrinks your silhouette to slip through the narrowest gaps. Stars let you continue after a death — save them for the long runs. IN-APP PURCHASES (optional) • Remove Ads — banner-free gameplay • Coin packs — skip the grind to unlock characters and upgrades • Star packs — extra continues when you're chasing that record • Unlock All Characters — the whole roster in one tap PRIVACY Runaway Ghost uses Apple's standard advertising identifier for the optional banner ad at the top of menus, and nothing else.
