Description: This game is dedicated to my son whose love for Halloween and spooky things inspired this game I love you Alek. You were walking in a cemetery one late night and notice a pot of sweet delicious candy. Being the curious child that you are you want to take the pot. Out of nowhere, a voice appears, Its the witch Grimelda! She has trapped you inside her cemetery and you must fight your way out. Defeat her minions and keep the candy, but should you lose you will become one of her minions forever. This is an fps cartoon-style shooter for kids with a cute storyline. Fight your way through 7 challenging levels as you defeat, Skeletons, Zombies, Mummy’s, Werewolf’s, Goblin’s, and Dragons. See who can get the furthest with the most points, kills and areas cleared. Use the trigger to fire at your enemy’s and use the grips to punch your enemy’s when they get close to you.
The candy pot is considered your health when the enemy’s bite the pot your candy will disappear every five bites. The controls will vibrate letting you know the enemy is attacking the candy pot. You don’t get hurt, it is the candy pot that receives damage. When you lose you turn into one of her minions and it will be randomly selected and shown in front of you. Now if you win you will see the candy pot with the amount of candy’s leftover that you won by defeating her minions. At the top of the tombstone, you will see your score, your kills, and areas cleared, the game will then restart. It is very fun and challenging game.
Review: Spooky Night is a fun and free little wave shooter all set in a scary Halloween theme, often in a graveyard. But this is no horror game, this game keeps all things dark and spooky light and fun as you shot cartoon skulls and other fun characters in the cartoon graveyard. There is no depth here, nothing much to learn, just point, shot and have some fun. It would have been worth a look for a few quid if only for the little ones, but as it is free us adults can enjoy it as well.
