Play Ghost Trap Online

Ghost Trap was a Game Boy Advance title released in 2000, though I don't recall the developer offhand. It came out during that early period for the GBA when developers were still figuring out what the hardware could do, resulting in a lot of experimental and sometimes quirky games. This one definitely fits that description.

You control a character who explores haunted locations screen by screen. Your main tool is a ghost trap, a device you use to capture the spirits haunting each room. The core loop involves navigating these areas, avoiding environmental hazards and enemy attacks, while carefully timing your trap to suck in ghosts. Some ghosts require you to weaken them first, adding a layer of strategy to the capture process. The game can be quite unforgiving, with precise timing needed to avoid taking damage and losing progress. It feels like a tense, methodical puzzle where one wrong move can ruin a perfect run.
