How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
The most obvious way we incorporated the 'spooky' theme of this year's jam is the environment and characters. You can pick between 3 classic spooky characters, a witch, vampire, and werewolf. Each character has their own special ability that will allow them to explore areas of the world the others cannot access.

There are 3 levels plus a boss. Each level has it's own spooky setting and enemies. Some of the enemies are classic horror characters, but the spookiest part about them is their behavior. If we tell you about behavior here, we'd spoil parts of the game. Let's just say there may be a jump scare or two.

Probably the least obvious way we incorporated the 'spooky' theme was by laying a few Easter eggs from some of our favorite horror films. If you spot them, let us know.

The spookiest thing we did this jam was push the 4 color palette restriction by giving each character their own palette. We are rule followers and it gives us the heebie-jeebies to bend the rules. Polyducks did say the rule was only 4 colors on the screen at one time, we're pretty sure we didn't break them.

I really liked this game! I loved that the different player characters each have a unique mechanic! Great animations, level design, character design, music... the final boss was terrifying on multiple levels!

Thanks so much for making it! 

Witch FTW

Amazing game! I really like the broomstick animation, and the attention to detail with the artwork. The music is fantastic too - very much gamboy music! and spooky too! it ticks all the boxes for me, good luck with your ratings!
