I think this might be the best mobile pixel game I ever played! It really needs more attention. The art is absolutely stunning, the OST is even better, boss mechanics are nice, and the story is silly and fun to read! To top it off, there are barely any bugs besides the one with knife style flashlights where it has a rare chance to slash up or down instead of jumping levels. Other than that, this game gets an ♾️/10 for me!

The game plays very much so like a game from the Game boy advance area and it's very nice for the type game it plays like. Only problem is that since enemies spawn literally everywhere, it is nearly impossible not to get hit and stay alive, dosen't help the invincibility frames are too short, so you'll end up dying in one level souley for that.

Honestly, I immediately fell in love with this game, the 8-bit aesthetic, along with the spooky and candy motifs all mix really well, and I also like the little bits and pieces of lore we get between each stage, and the main character Milli, along with the rest are pretty well animated and have pretty detailed expressions. I'm surprised how much thought went into it to be honest. The gameplay is pretty easy handle, and gets a little more challenging as you go, not to mention you can get charms to help you out, so the replayability of it is pretty good. All in all, great game, hope to see more in the future, possibly a sequel?

at first i thought the gameplay was kinda lame but when i started to play it more i found it quite fun and addicting! i especially like the game because theres a sense of progression and a rise in difficulty, as well as new areas and new enemies to defeat. many arcade games are just the exact same thing over and over. not this one

The game is cute, stylized, and responsive; the bosses are unique and interesting, and the equipment/upgrade options aren't overly complicated. Ads are minimal and don't interrupt gameplay. I was able to gather all that despite all the crashes, but now the game won't even let me open it :/ had to uninstall. I hope they fix this issue, I genuinely liked this one.

this has so much potential to be an editor's choice. this is by far the greatest game i have ever found on Google Play. it is SHOCKINGLY good. tight controls, good story, and adorable graphics. it does have ads, but they are minimal, and do not take away from the full experience, which is a rarity in mobile gaming these days. overall, this is a fantastical game, and i recommend it to everyone. great job! 👍

I'm completely obsessed with this game. It's adorable, fun & just challenging enough so as not to be boring. I love the new aspects that were added with the update. My only complaint is that if I close the game it erases everything I've gained.I've unlocked the Gorgens lamp 3 times, plus won & lost several charms. And now I can't get past level 5, even with full health, bubblegum shield & various charms, at certain point Molly just spontaneously dies. This doesn't keep me from playing the game though. I'm hoping these slight glitches will get fixed & then the game will be perfect.

Very nice and simple to control. Also quite challenging and addictive. The only reasons I uninstalled were because I lost interest after a while, and because the third boss is a PAINFULLY huge difficulty spike for me personally. It made me feel unmotivated to continue. I'm sure a more experienced player could get past it though. Decent game. Very sweet (no pun intended), very cute, very fun.

Cute pixelated game with interesting characters. The lore is silly and entertaining. Also the difficulty with each level is increasingly challenging but it never gets too difficult or monotaneous. Last but not least the SOUNDTRACK is simply immaculate *chefs kiss*. I keep coming back to this game over the years and completely get lost in it each time. 10/10 recommend!!!

Fun way to waste some time but a few problems make themselves apparent very quickly if you dedicate any real time to playing it. If you accidentally click an ad you absolutely WILL lose your current level progress and the currency you collected during that run. The act of accidentally clicking an ad once crashed my game so hard I had to log back into google play manually afterwards.

It looks great, feels great, it just is great. I can only think of one problem and it's more personal which is why it still gets a 5 from me. That problem is the phantom worm and its hard mode form, the blast worm. Something about them is just the hardest thing ever for me. Both end my runs more constantly than anybody else, I find the phantom worm to be the hardest boss in normal mode, even harder than the normal mode final boss!

I enjoy this game a lot! It gives me something to do when I'm on my work break. But every time I jump into normal mode, and then continue to C.C. Mode and die, instead of letting me revive ( when I haven't used my free revive ) , it sends me to game over. And then I'm stuck on the return to menu screen, and have to close out the game, just to get back into it.

I like everything about this game. The graphics are cool, the controls are simple and responsive, you can improve as you play (through powerups and through real skill). And best of all, there's an ending! I'm so tired of all the app games that start a story they dont plan on finishing or force you to play for years. Only criticism is that things do get a bit too crazy to be fair. But I beat it, so others could too

I think it was a very fun game and i still play it. Though i think it would attract more attention if you fixed the bugs, add more languages to play in. I also do think that the fact that you just spawn in a bunch of enemies, uncoordinated, takes away from the challange everyone looks foward to each game. I spent most of my time passing levels by just staying on the bottom. I think the gane would be more fun if you could find a way to coordinate the enemies. Otherwise, keep up the great work!

A simple game with simple controls, where the complexity lies within the mechanics itself. It was an easy game to pick up, and it's easy to just play a life or two in a quick sitting. All the goals I've encountered so far are extremely reachable, and the micro transactions, though they speed up the experience and reduce the grind, I haven't found anywhere close to a "must buy to continue playing". Almost everything is reasonably accessable with such a small time sink.

quite a good game, the only game I can think of that could be described as a bullet hell game and a platformer. the art style and animation are pleasing to the eye, and the gameplay is varied each run by the many in game upgrades and different weapons available. some hits feel unavoidable at times, though, and grinding for ectoplasm, the material for upgrades, is infuriatingly slow. these faults don't hold the game back from being great, however; only from being perfect.

Quick to get into, difficult but fair, and plenty of content to work towards or discover. It's worth trying out, since it's free, and the ads aren't intrusive enough to even care about. That said, I paid for the ad removal early on because it seemed fair for how much mileage I was getting from the game. My only qualm is the controls, which have you sliding your finger to direct Molli. This makes precision movement rather difficult, but it seems this was an intentional design decision.

A really exceptional game. Easy to pick up, excruciatingly hard to master, but it feels fair. Deaths are your fault, and you WILL die at some point, but you progress and gain more and more power, and even then, the challenge remains. And the best part? No mandatory ads! Rating it 5 stars is under-selling it, if you ask me.

this is a favorite of mine. it's easy to play, the art is really good, and there are a variety of opponents and weaponry (lights) to take them down. it's a very unique way of showing a haunted house theme. but there are a few glitches, it seems. sometimes you can't go back in the game and continue, and you have to wait. once I glitched out of one of the floors and had to reset that level. but other than that, it's very good, and the great music is just a nice bonus!

this a wonderful game, the gameplay is perfect as well as the controls. The only one problem I have is the glitches, especially with the blasters and lanterns. The blasters does not dmg the opponent in front of you, only it's side ability works (beams and fires.) and with the lanterns, the hit box is too small. The circles of light would be directly touching the ghost and it wouldn't pick up.
