You can also choose a private match and compete against a friend’s only list. Hosted on Google Cloud, the connectivity to other parties searching for a game is incredibly fast. Multiplayer?Īlthough Google has hosted games as Doodles in the past, Ghoul Duel is the first one to support multiplayer. Scoring earns boosts such as faster speed or magnetism.

To add to the challenge, when you’ve got a decent trail of flames behind you, the other team can steal your Spirit Flame’s and instead exchange them for their team color.

During this time, your three other teammates are doing the same in order to boost your team’s score. You must then take the flames you gathered and bolt back to your base in order to tip the scales in your favor. You do this using the arrow keys or dragging the mouse in the direction you want to head. You move your ghost about the screen, capturing small balls of fire known as Spirit Flames. The browser-based game allows you to control a ghost in a team-based multiplayer setting. Ghoul Duel is more than just a way to lose some of your productivity time at work. On the eve of Halloween, the search engine giant is debuting a multiplayer game called The Great Ghoul Duel as its Doodle. These Google Doodles often commemorate seasonal and historic events among other themes. Each day, Google updates its official homepage with expressive games, music, or artwork.
