Ghostbusters gets the endless runner treatment in Monster Dash

An Android and iOS mobile game knew exactly who to call.

The endless runner Monster Dash has received Ghostbusters-themed content, including Peter Venkman as a playable character. It also added a New York City rooftop level and the proton pack as an in-game item. All of this is to celebrate the original film’s 30th anniversary — and help the 575th-ranked iPhone app (according to App Annie) rise on the charts and take a bigger piece of the mobile pie, an industry that market researcher Newzoo expects to be worth $25 billion in 2015.
