About this game

In Cosmic Crisis, Bill defends mankind from demonic ghosts using only his wits and a hammer. He moves across brick platforms connected by ladders, punching holes to trap ghosts and then hammering them through the platform.

Ghosts require different falls to be destroyed: white ghosts need to drop one floor, red ghosts two, and blue ghosts three. A ghost can also be destroyed by landing it on another ghost below. Each stage must be cleared within a limited time.

  • Stages: 6
  • Starting lives: 4
  • Difficulty: 4 levels, with faster ghosts at higher settings; the final level adds another red ghost
  • Platform: ColecoVision
  • Developer and publisher: Bit Corp.
