Its Halloween-season premise delivered multiple playable characters and timed levels, but contemporary reviews also flagged frustrating controls and repetition.
What was Regular Show’s second mobile game?
It was Ghost Toasters — Regular Show, released by Cartoon Network and developed by Grumpyface. GamesBeat described it as the franchise’s second mobile game. The earlier title, Ride ’Em Rigby, has an initial iOS release date of January 24, 2013, listed by Metacritic.
Metacritic lists October 17, 2013 as the initial iOS release date for Ghost Toasters. GamesBeat’s launch report appeared on October 25, 2013; that later article date does not establish a separate Android release date. Metacritic’s listing and GamesBeat’s report document the 2013 launch.
How did Ghost Toasters play?
The game was a level-based shooter in which players fought waves of ghosts as Mordecai, Rigby, or other characters from the show. GamesBeat reported that stages were timed and asked players to defeat a target number of ghosts while collecting pickups. Mordecai used a pulse rifle, while Rigby had automatic laser pistols.

#1 Best Overall
TouchArcade’s October 29, 2013 review adds that stages used pre-made arenas and three-star goals. Portals let players switch characters, whose weapons and play styles differed; enemies also varied. The review praised the character variety and amount of content, while finding the sliding movement controls frustrating.
What did it cost at launch?
GamesBeat reported a $3 price and microtransactions, and listed iOS, Android through Google Play, and Amazon Appstore as launch platforms. The report does not specify a currency, so the figure should be read as stated rather than assumed to identify a particular currency. These are historical 2013 launch details, not current prices or proof that the game can still be downloaded.
Rank #2
- Shrink-wrapped
TouchArcade described in-app purchases as largely optional extras, including power-ups and early unlocks. The review gave the game 3.5 stars.
Why was it “a scare” for reviewers?
The reaction was mixed in a small sample. Metacritic displays three critic reviews—one positive and two mixed—and no user reviews. Those three reviews are too few to represent a broad consensus among players.
- 148Apps called the game fun but frustrating.
- TouchArcade reviewer Chris Carter said it was fun when the controls cooperated and singled out the slide movement scheme as a major problem.
- Arcade Sushi criticized repetition.
That split captures the game’s appeal and limitation: a recognizable cast, character-specific combat, and a variety of content, weighed against control friction and repetitive play.
