Inspired by arcade classic <strong>Arkanoid<\/strong>, the game invites you to take on the role of a heroic ghostbuster who must clear more than 70 levels of ghost-infested buildings.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out a taste of the gameplay in the trailer above; as you can see, rather than sucking up ghosts with a vacuum cleaner, you&#8217;ll instead be knocking them senseless with a ball. The problem is that the ghosts can interfere with your duties, throwing objects your way and causing a nuisance as you try to clear them out.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a feature list taken from the game&#8217;s eShop listing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8211; HD graphics;<br \/>&#8211; Abundance of special effects;<br \/>&#8211; 3 perfectly designed worlds;<br \/>&#8211; 75 levels + 3 secret ones;<br \/>&#8211; Plenty of objects for total destruction;<br \/>&#8211; Ghosts with cunning mind;<br \/>&#8211; 13 types of bonuses<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Ghostanoid Switch\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f515f9ed094da\/ghostanoid-switch.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f515f9ed094da\/ghostanoid-switch.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Ghostanoid Switch\"><\/a><a title=\"Ghostanoid Switch\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/39ad48537a60f\/ghostanoid-switch.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/39ad48537a60f\/ghostanoid-switch.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Ghostanoid Switch\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Ghostanoid Switch\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/7792ed3a9d16b\/ghostanoid-switch.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/7792ed3a9d16b\/ghostanoid-switch.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Ghostanoid Switch\"><\/a><a title=\"Ghostanoid Switch\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5e34aaa736eed\/ghostanoid-switch.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5e34aaa736eed\/ghostanoid-switch.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Ghostanoid Switch\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Speaking of the eShop listing, you can actually pre-order the game right now ahead of its 21st January release date.
