Being a ghost is pretty rad – or at least it would be if those meddling kids didn’t keep daring each other to break into your haunted house and poke around. Even worse, when Mr. Longshanks – the possessed teddy bear that lives in the basement – murders them, it counts as a blemish on your soul!
Thankfully scaring them off counts as a good deed, so as long as you spook off more kids than Mr. Longshanks can kill, your sins won’t drag you to hell.
Controls
- WASD or gamepad to move
- Spacebar or gamepad button to spook
Further Development
If I spent more time on Spookum I could:
- Sharpen up the furniture sprites so they don’t look so flat
- Add more furniture in the house so it doesn’t look so empty
- Tweak Longshank’s AI so if he leaves because he has no target, but then a kid enters, he chases the kid
- Fix the difficulty curve from stage to stage
- Migrate the loss condition from ratio of kids not saved to an absolute number per stage
- Implement The Lady
