Game Play
Basic
As a living jack-o-lantern, hop as high as you can.
You automatically start jumping. Most of your movements involve jumping toward a platform to the left or right of you.
Solid red platforms stay in place. You can, if you want to take a break, just stay in one platform until you’re ready to go up again.
If you land on a brittle platform, it collapses after the first time you jump from it, so keep moving.
Each time you land on something, you go higher and earn points.
The platforms disappear once the screen scrolls past them. Be careful not to fall.
Question platforms
As you ascend you’ll periodically encounter a platform that runs through the length of the screen.
At this point, you receive a question on Halloween traditions and lore.
Answer correctly, and you zoom upwards at great speed.
Along the way, you have the chance to collect candy.
A witch voice will yell “Happy Halloween.”
You receive a massive points boost in the process.
Answer incorrectly, and you simply jump up toward the next set of platforms. You get no candy.
Costume switch
As you ascend, you can grab various costume pieces lying around the platforms.
Each article of clothing will unlock a new getup for your lantern:
Hat: witch
Cape: vampire
Electrodes: Frankenstein’s monster
Bandages: mummy
Sheet: ghost
Tricorn hat: pirate
Tips
Standing on red platforms gives you more time to plan your ascent.
Plan your actions in advance when your next platform is a brittle one. You need to jump ahead fast.
Some of the red platforms move on the upper levels. It’ll be a challenge both to get on them and stay on them, particularly if they also have nearby brittle platforms you need to jump on.
Target Audience
The game is suited for fans of Halloween and jumping platform gamers of all ages.
The game has no adult content.
