Halloween Forever

Un bon petit jeu plateforme parfait pour halloween. L’histoire est très simple, Pumpkin man doit détruire le Necroking à coup de bonbons. Les contrôles sont simple et réagissent bien. Le jeu est bien réalisé et le level design est plutôt bon. La bo a un style bien rétro, mais a force j’avoue que ca agresse un peu… Le jeu est vraiment très court avec seulement 5 niveaux. Mais heureusement, on découvre plein d’autres personnages et la rejouabilité est très bonne. Avec une chasse au succès , le jeu durera quelques heures. Un bon petit jeu pour passer le temps.

possibly the greatest game of our time

Its 8-Bit Dark souls: Halloween Boogaloo

First I want to say that the game is pretty adorable and very fitting to the Halloween season. It is a fun little platformer, but has the default old school difficulty. Since I just wanted to see the whole game I turned on 99 lives and forgiving saves to ease the struggle. It was fun, but since I'm not one for old school platformer difficulty I wouldn't play it again. I think if you go into it knowing it will be difficult on normal difficulty and relatively short you will enjoy a cute Halloween romp!

The controls are solid, the music excellent at evoking NES, Master System, and others of the era, and every October I play the hell out of it. It can be beaten fairly quickly, so each time I unlock another character I blast through it again, sometimes back to back multiple times. Perfect on the Steam Deck too. I need more games like this in my life.

Short, simple, oldschool platformer. Pretty much does what it says on the tin. The bonus in this game is that there are collectibles for a "better ending", there are multiple characters to play and unlock (each have a particular fire pattern/skill) and each of those characters have their own small unique ending as well - which I think is a nice little touch and inspired me to finish the game with each character. It is a short game, but because you have limited lives (oldschool, remember) the whole game as a result is a shorter experience - you can make some changes to this setup though; 99 Lives, 1 HP, etc etc. The chiptunes in this are pretty good and the boss fights are each unique (there's about 10 of them in total) and are challenging enough to master and find patterns; though a nice change-up is when you try different characters and find the difficulty changes on the playstyle you need to adapt to. I would recommend when on sale - as I say, it is a short game, though still fun. :)
