How it feels

You control a pumpkin-headed hero vomiting candy corn through spooky but lighthearted 2D platforming levels filled with goofy enemies and retro arcade action.

What players say

Players praise the retro aesthetic and tight platforming, but the arcade-style permadeath, losing all lives sends you back to stage 1, divides them. Some find it fair for a five-level game, while others call it unfair and dated. A few reviewers note hidden characters and the lack of a pause button.
