Spooking Out is a round-based game. When a round starts, you and everyone else in the server explores a small map to catch ghosts. To catch ghosts, knock one out by attacking with your trusty Skullshot tool - which is eerily familiar to the Slingshot from classic Brickbattle games. Next, switch to the Grab tool to pick it up. Take it back to the big pit found somewhere in the map and throw it in! You can hold down left click to charge up your shot and throw it further. You earn Tickets for catching ghosts, which can be spent in the shop on items that enhance your gameplay!
