The level design is serviceable but unexciting. The same goes for the enemies. I bout it for $3.49 and I think that's about the limit for what this small amount of gameplay is worth.. An eminently digestible snippet of metroidvania, with cute bosses that put up just enough resistance to draw out a muffled cuss or two. Dashing is more blinky and less swooshy than I like. Needs more swoosh. A fun seasonal platformer. How I do like the notion of those! And if it's between a bargain bin bucket of candy corn and this game . . . please, pick Spooky Ghosts Dot Com.

And if it's between a bargain bin bucket of candy corn and this game . . . please, pick Spooky Ghosts Dot Com. Your pancreas will thank you.. Spooky Ghosts Dot Com is a charming Metroidvania platformer with a Halloween-ish theme. Combining two of my favorite things - Metroivanias and Halloween - was already enough to sell me, but the fact that it manages to do it well is a huge plus. It does difficulty right, for one thing. I ended up dying a lot (many times on embarrassingly stupid things, I confess), but I was always able to learn more about my environment and how to better take on a boss with each death. I never felt like I was just running into a brick wall over and over. It's hard to do that well, so major kudos to the dev!The game is short and simple, and it's creative with the things it offers. It's certainly worth a look if you enjoy Metroidvanias.. This is a fun, cute, but challanging little game.The art is simple, but nice and consistent.The music, while not great, goes well with it.The combat is tight and hard, the bosses require practice and patience.But the challenge is fair. The attacks are well telegraphed and the patterns are well designed.There is only a small amount of randomness in the boss fights, but that can be worked with.I have to say, this is the best part of the game.The story is minimal, but I found this no problem at all.I have encountered only a few small bugs and a single freeze.None of them were game breaking or caused more than mild anoyance.I recommend this game to everyone who wants a short and simple game with a suprising challange.I give it a 7 \/ 10. Go play it now!. This is one of those games that really makes me wish Steam had more than just a yes\/no vote. I feel a little bad giving this a no recommendation since it's an inoffensive and at times amusing game. I just feel like people will get the wrong impression if it nothing but "eh, it's okay" yes votes.There really just isn't much to it, and certainly nothing new. It's very short, and if you're like me most of that short time will be spent replaying bosses, with the areas themselves offering little in the way of challenge or exploration value. And the bosses feel kind of samey, with a lot of dodging stuff that's moving back and forth while jumping less regular projectiles and timing attacks. The plot is just kind of a boring placeholder. The few upgrades are lackluster and don't change the feel of the gameplay much. There isn't really much in the way of extras to find on the map - just a few health upgrades and some cats which only reward you with an achievement.The graphics are minimalistic and low resolution but not without some charm.One thing that did kind of stand out was the music which honestly was kind of bad. I'm a little taken back by the soundtrack actually being for sale.Still, at the end of the day I don't regret getting it or playing it to completion. And I don't personally mind the cost but at $5 it does feel overpriced compared to other offerings in the price category - $2 seems more suitable. Maybe wait for the inevitable sale or price reduction.. Spooky Ghosts Dot Com is a charming Metroidvania platformer with a Halloween-ish theme.
