Gunslingers and Ghosts

You are an infamous outlaw, wanted to be hanged for good reason: you’ve found a way to control the dead. You complete your ritual in the cemetery of an old ghost town, but are shot by the sheriff and a local priest. Your life force waning, you must use your dwindling influence over the ghosts to defeat the sheriffs/priests and avoid being claimed by the spirit world. Gunslingers and Ghosts is a combination of tower defense and bullet hell that forces the player to balance both worlds: natural and supernatural. Defeat your real-world enemies and avoid ghosts to survive!

All SFX and Music were created and mixed during this game jam. Whistling was performed by Arjun Kurkal.
