This is a ton of fun! Has a really authentic arcade vibe, very pick-up-and-play, easy to learn but challenging to master. Also, witches with hoods is the S-tier witch garb. ;)

My high score at the time of this posting is 12,585. For now.


EDIT: 15,240 is my new high score, as of 12/11/23. :3

I love it! My only qualm is there seems to be an input delay when activating the lantern. Not sure if it's intentional to act as a cooldown or maybe my gamepad is having issues.

Seems to have something to do with when you switch floors, there's a tiny delay before you can use the lantern.

Yes, the lantern has a tiny cooldown to kinda prevent spamming. I tried to make it so you get into a certain rhythm when playing efficiently
Thanks for playing and commenting :)
