Ghost Wiper

One brother's armed with a laser gun, the other's tossing boxes and traps—this two-player ghost hunt turns siblings into rivals.

Ghost Wiper is a two-player local showdown that pits a trigger-happy little brother against an older brother with a talent for traps. The little guy moves with WASD and can blast a laser with F, but he's not exactly tough—pressing S makes him duck into hiding spots, which is smart because the older brother isn't playing fair. The big brother uses the arrow keys to scoot around, and he can hurl boxes with K or drop traps with L. If he wants to vanish, the down arrow does the trick. The magic here is the imbalance. One player feels like a ghostbuster on a budget, popping out from behind furniture to zap a floating target. The other is more like a poltergeist handyman, chucking boxes to block movement and littering the floor with traps. I kept getting baited into a corner, thinking I had a clear shot, only to step on a trap and watch my brother cackle as he smacked me with a box. That kind of cheap death is exactly why you'll demand a rematch. It's not a deep game, but it's a perfect ten-minute argument starter. You'll need two people on the same keyboard, so clear some space. The hiding mechanic adds a sneaky layer—sometimes you'll both be hiding at opposite ends, waiting for the other to blink. If you like local co-op that's really local versus, this one scratches that itch.

Little Brother: Move: "W,A,S,D" Laser gun: "F" Hide: "S" Elder Brother: Move: "ARROW KEYS" Throw / Pick-up Box: "K" Throw Trap: "L" Hide: "Down Arrow Key"

Use hiding spots mid-fight, not just at the start—the ghost can lose track of you fast. Don't waste your laser shots; wait until the older brother is winding up a box throw. The box throw doubles as a movement blocker, so chuck one into a doorway to cut off escape routes. Traps win fights quietly—drop one where the little brother hides, then bait him into it. Pay attention to sound cues; both hide moves have a tell you can punish. Play aggressive as the little brother early; the older brother needs setup time for traps.
