Editor review
Ghost Tag is a tag-themed io with cosmetic monetisation. Players are ghosts; one is It; tag others to make them It. The format is the classic playground game digitised.
What works is the basic movement. Ghosts float at consistent speed. Tag detection is reliable.
What does not work is the format's narrow scope. Tag is fundamentally a simple format. Without depth additions (special abilities, hiding mechanics, terrain interactions) the format exhausts quickly.
Tested over two Mumbai commute matches before stopping. Touch is the natural input. Mouse and keyboard work.
Where the game tries hardest is the cosmetic-ghost shop. Twenty different ghost visuals through grindable currency.
Where I would push back is the monetisation pressure. Ads between matches. Paid skip option. The basic format does not justify the load.
Two-and-a-half stars. Functional but shallow tag io. Skip in favour of better io games.
