About

Ghost Invaders is a kid-friendly Space Invaders game featuring colorful Pac-Man style ghosts that dodge your shots. It is built with TypeScript, Vite and the HTML5 Canvas API, with procedural Web Audio sound effects and touch support for mobile and tablets.

Controls: left/right arrow keys move the ship, space shoots, N fires a nuke (once per minute), and ESC pauses. The game is free to play with no logins or ads, and the README says it works without Wi-Fi.

The README notes that aggregate country-level visitor data is collected on the hosted site (no personal data, no IP logging).
