A trick or a treat? (Trophy thoughts)

[MidnightDragon]

Obviously will require several playthroughs.

1 HP mode sounds difficult....to say the least. 

[CaptainJeff87]

Aside from the 1 HP mode it seems like a difficult game in general. 

 

Read some reviews that say it can become unbalanced in some later sections with enemy placement plus you have to take leaps of faith a lot of the time as well. To top it off if you lose all your lives you start from the beginning so unless it saves between worlds and you can savescum and back up to cloud or whatever it could be pretty difficult overall.

This review say you can maybe complete a playthrough in a few gours if you have decent platforming skills. I watched some video and it does not look intimidating but alot of hidden secrets. I may get this one.

Giving it a quick look over, seems like half of these trophies will come naturally, while others might take a bit grinding. Patience definitely seems like itll be key in this one, but if youre a Halloween fanatic Im sure itll keep you interested enough!

It's definitely an appropriate game for the upcoming holiday. But I think I'll pass - looks to be a trick and not a treat!

[IntroPhenom]

I think this looks pretty great.  Groovy music, 8-bit graphics, candy corn.  What's not to like?

[Burgins]

I dig this list and the game looks pretty charming. It's only 5 dollars on Steam so perhaps that'll be the price when it hits PSN?

[Lawless_Llama]

I'm most likely going to pick up this title so I can at least play it on my PS Vita during commutes. Should be a neat challenge, and multiple playthroughs should at least get my money's worth out of the title. 

[MidnightDragon]

They're doing a little self-promotion with this trophy.

Candy corn.

[Caesar Clown]

Has good reviews on Steam and is pretty inexpensive, I'll pick it up for Vita.

[Jelly Soup]

Even given the difficult later trophies, I'm all for supporting Imaginary Monsters.

Although, I'd love for him to return to comics, his games are pretty good. You can really feel the love here.

The game is not quiet being able to do playthrough in 20 minutes or less, the phases are always the same indifirent of which character you use, which facilitates to decorate where each enemy is. The 1HP trophy seems at first frightening because you have 3 initial lives, and can die and continue, during the course of the game it is possible to get 6 lives (this was the maximum I could) the trophy (Mysteries of Abyxsis) Use the character DEMON JOE, he has the ability to fly by pressing X several times, always in the first teleport of each phase over the area above that will have a map on fire, none hidden all are very visible. Tip: I recommend decorating the stages with the characters and then using DEMON JOE to make the '' Hardcore Gourd '' (1HP) trophy and the '' Bat Marm '' trophy from the beginning to the end of the game

Picked this one up in the recent Halloween sale and it’s most definitely a treat! ?

 

It’s a very simple game, but it knows that and totally nails what it is meant to be. The platforming control feels surprisingly great, and the spooky seasonal aesthetic, the different Halloween themed characters and environments, and cheerful and catchy chiptuney soundtrack makes for a really pleasant overall time.

 

This is a perfect “pick up & play” style of game as it throws you into the action instantly, making it great for those times when you’ve got 20-30 mins to kill and need something to do. I’ve been playing for short bursts of 20 minutes here and there over the last few days and have so far made it up to the final boss. With every single attempt it gets faster and easier.

 

The game does appear long and punishing at first due to having to restart from the very beginning every time you lose all your lives, but after repeating runs and memorizing levels and enemy placements, you’ll quickly realize you can easily run through the whole game in like 20-25 minutes or so, making all the mandatory playthroughs a non-issue.

 

Overall this is a really fun and pleasant little retro platformer, and satisfies the seasonal spirit of Halloween. Would definitely recommend grabbing this one if you’re looking for a fun Halloween game to play next year! (or sooner) ?
