About the Game



Zeitghast is a fast-paced, action-packed sidescrolling Platformer-Shooter in which you navigate a technologically enhanced prehistoric world. Take on the role of a Zeitghast--A magical time spirit tasked with protecting the timeline, and stop the evil Dr. Antag O’Neste as he travels back in time to take credit for every invention that ever existed.

Race Through a Variety of Unique Stages!

Traverse a multitude of challenging levels by jumping, dashing, shooting, and slashing!

Over a Dozen Unique Weapons!

An ice cannon, a rocket launcher, and even a fire-breathing lizard?! There are a wide variety of weapons to pick from, so grab your favorite and start shootin’ and slashin’.

Time is Money!

Time is the common currency and lifeforce for our Zeitghast protagonist. You can earn more time by collecting time tokens in the level, or by defeating enemies! However, be careful not to run out of time.

Discover Secrets In Every Stage!

Be on the lookout for time-saving secrets, hidden weapons, and of course, collectibles in every stage!

Fight Dangerous Enemies!

Fight powerful enemies originating both from the rift between space-time and Dr. Antag’s army of cyborg dinosaurs!
