Thank you so much for your support. I'll check it out!

Can you please edit it for me so I don’t have to buy Mischief Castle. I really want this game for free! Say yes to me! You can say yes to me if you correct me!

Maybe this could be the best game of this year ! Congrats ! A full demo gameplay in honor to your effort.

I really appreciate the support. Thank you.

Ooh!  This looks great!

I'm kinda half-expecting Skid & Pump from 'Spooky Month' to be secret playables!  Skeloo and Jackolie have that vibe!

I actually had know idea Skid & Pump existed till someone had showed me it after I first put the game on itch.io

great demo!

Thank you!

I have introduced your game in my homebrew article serie (german). :-) https://www.dasklapptsonicht.de/homebrew-ecke-mischief-castle-soko-banana-goodbo...

I REALLY enjoy this game.  The levels are massive, the character and background art are beautiful, and the soundtrack rocks.  Gameplay is very fun and challenging.  The Halloween atmosphere is always a win, and executed well here. Will most definitely be picking up the physical edition too. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate it. thank you!
