GHOST FLIGHT

CONTROLS

WASD

Fly. Arrow keys work too.

SPACE

Boost. Fast, but burns battery and needs time to recharge.

PESC

Pause. Restart or rebuild from the pause menu.

M

Sound on or off.

TOUCH

Left stick to fly, orange button to boost, II to pause.

THE MISSION

Fly the canyon to the extraction corridor. Walls and hazards damage your hull. Your battery drains all the time, faster when you thrust or boost. Pass checkpoint beacons: if a drone is lost, a rebuilt one launches from the last beacon. You have three drones.

HAZARDS

• Crushers. Pistons that slam across the passage. The lamp flashes before each slam.
• Drift mines. Float in slow patterns and detonate on contact.
• Arc gates. Emitters flash orange, then discharge a current between floor and ceiling.
• Rockfall. Dust drops first, then the rock.

LEVEL 02 THREATS

• Searchlights. Stay out of the beams. Linger and the alert meter fills, then the tower fires a homing missile.
• Missiles. They turn slower than you. Break hard, boost away, or lead them into a building.
• Sentry drones. Patrol fixed routes and explode on contact.
• Flare stacks and roof vents. Stacks burn upward after a flicker. Vents blast you toward whatever is overhead.
• Rocket salvos. Near the core, orange markers on the right edge show where a rocket will cross.

LEVEL 03 CONDITIONS

• Crosswinds and gravity. Gusts push you around and the drone slowly sinks. The wind gauge shows direction and strength. Heavier builds are pushed around less.
• Lightning masts. The tip glows and sparks, then a bolt hits the mast. Don't fly above or beside it when it strikes.
• Wind turbines. The blades never stop and spin faster in gusts. Go over the top or time a gap.
• Landing. Touch down on the pad with vertical speed under 55 and drift under 40, then hold still for one second. Faster contacts bounce you off and cost hull.

PICKUPS

• Power cell. Restores battery.
• Repair kit. Patches hull damage.

SCORING

Finish under par time, keep your hull and battery high, and collect cells. Damage taken and drones lost cost points. Level 02 adds points for missiles evaded and takes points for each time you're detected. Level 03 scores your landing on vertical speed, drift and how close to the center you touch down.
