Gameplay

Neko Ghost, Jump! is a platformer game with puzzle elements and speedrunning value, where players take control of Nekoman and can switch between 2D and 3D perspectives—a core mechanic essential for overcoming obstacles and solving environmental challenges.

In addition to perspective switching, Nekoman can alternate between his physical and ghost forms. In his physical form, he can interact with the environment and perform actions like jumping and running. In his ghost form, he can attack enemies from a distance, enabling different strategies to tackle challenges.

The game features a time system and online leaderboards, encouraging players to complete stages quickly and compete for the best times. The level design demands precision in jumps and mastery of the form-switching and perspective mechanics, making it challenging, especially for those aiming to finish it in the shortest time possible.

Throughout the campaign, players face various types of enemies and bosses, each with specific attack patterns and weaknesses that require mastery of the game’s mechanics.
