Phantom Phrag

Master the haunted mansion, vanquish ghosts, and amass ectoplasm in Phantom Phrag. Compete for high scores, unlock new appearances and soundtrack. Become the ultimate ghost hunter in this thrilling arcade!

Kinda advanced how to play guide(game has tutorial, read this if you have any questions left):

In the game your goal is to hit highest score. You get score for killing ghosts, exorcizing multiple ghosts in a short period of time gives you more points. You lose a heart if you touch a ghost, unless you are rainbow. The game ends when you reach 0 hearts(hearts are displayed at the bottom right of the screen). You can kill ghosts either by teleporting into them(spacebar or mouse to create a portal, spacebar or mouse again to teleport into it) or by ramming them while you are rainbow. The main ability to control a player comes from the ability to place portals. Entering a portal, you save all the momentum: jump height, speed, walk direction.

Game props:

Jumper, makes the character jump

Booster, makes player rainbow and gives him bonus speed for a short period of time

Orange and blue portals work as permanent portal

Gravitron, makes you switch gravity

Strategy is to place a portal, and when you either get in trouble, or see a ghost crossing it, teleport into it.

You can also set a portal airborn, and then use it after a jumper or a booster activation to reach places you wouldn't be able without it, for example, gravitron is unreachable without an airborn placed portal, as it is shown in the tutorial.

Game pick ups:

Cherry, gives you double the effect of a lightning booster.

Cross, excorcizes all the ghosts on the screen.

Heart, restores 1 health.

The pick ups spawn in places unreachable without a portal, so make sure to have them in mind, when placing portals, pick ups give you a massive advantage against the enemies.

Hope that guide was helpful if you've got troubled understanding game's mechanics. Enjoy the game!
