WONDERFUL.

It better be landscape only on mobile. Add a pitfall bomb (what was that game that created a hole for the critters to fall into, and you could walk over them, but the climb out and the hole heals in a short period... ? Let the ghosts to fall in a hole, then you can place more than one ghost on the path, but you need as many "hole bombs" as there are ghosts on screen+1 (or N)... to not make it rage quit-worthy.

Most people use their phone in portrait mode.

If it were Landscape Only, it would create unnecessary friction.

We have invented a new word for you to incorporate into your comments:

"OPTIONS"


Alternatively, the one dimension of movement could be up-down.


no. its a single tunnel. no off-shoots. 1D.

Cant turn. only damage the 1D path, to your advantage/detriment.

Your mechanic is Gauntlet. (best video game ever)


Up-down instead of right-left would still be a "single tunnel", "no off-shoots", "1D", "can't turn", etc.
