Ghost Boy Support

Every run becomes art.

Something not working, a skin that didn’t unlock, or a painting you want to show off? Email hello@elulabs.com and you’ll hear back within two business days. Tell us your iPhone model and what happened just before the problem, and we can usually sort it out.

How to play

Drag anywhere to steer — Ghost Boy always drifts forward and follows your finger. His glow (the bar under the score) drains the whole time. Paint drops refill it, and so do closing a loop with your trail, flying through a dashed doodle gate, and a near miss. Bumping into paper balls, erasers, scissors, socks or the grey whirlpools costs some glow. The yellow crayon star gives you a few seconds of Rainbow Rush, when nothing can hurt you.

Want the tutorial again? On the title screen, tap the line that says “Drag to move · Collect colors · Stay alive”.

Saving and sharing paintings

After every run, tap Share art. You can send the painting anywhere iOS offers, or choose Save Image to put it in Photos. The first time you save, iOS asks whether Ghost Boy may add photos — it can only add, never look. If you said no and changed your mind, open iOS Settings › Apps › Ghost Boy › Photos.

Each painting’s number counts the paintings made on that iPhone, so No. 0042 is your 42nd.

Skins and the Closet

Tap Closet on the title screen. Every skin changes Ghost Boy’s look and his trail, and the trail colours your paintings too. Skins are cosmetic only; none of them changes how the game plays.

Earned for free. Ectoplasm unlocks when you score 300 in one run. Sleepy Ghost unlocks after 30 minutes of total play. Comet Ghost unlocks the moment you last 90 seconds in a single run. The Closet shows how close you are.

To buy. Golden Ghost $2.99, Galaxy Ghost $1.99, and Ectoplasm, Fire, Water, Pizza, Bubblegum, Neon, Ice Cream and Crayon $0.99 each. The Supporter Pack unlocks all ten for $5.99. Prices shown in the app are in your local currency.

Restoring purchases

New iPhone, or a skin you bought isn’t showing? Open the Closet and tap Restore Purchases while signed in to the same Apple Account you bought with. If you bought the Supporter Pack before new skins were added, restoring unlocks the new ones too. Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us.

My best score or earned skins disappeared

Scores, play time and earned skins are stored only on your iPhone, so deleting the app or moving to a new phone without a backup starts them over. Bought skins always come back with Restore Purchases. See the privacy policy for exactly what is kept.

For parents

Ghost Boy is rated 4+, has no ads, chat, accounts or links out of the game, and collects no personal information. Everything costs nothing to play; the only purchases are optional skins, and you can require approval for them with Ask to Buy or Screen Time.

No sound

Check the round speaker button in the bottom corner — it remembers whether you muted it. Sound starts after your first tap, and follows your iPhone’s volume.
