Oh no! Cherp's lucky socks have been possessed by a wandering ghost! Now he's been turned into a skeleton and must seek them in a maddening quest!

A few small Tips!

-Press Down+Jump to jump-off platforms (the thin ones).

-A few enemy projectiles (such as rocks) can be intercepted with a sword hit.

-While climbing a ladder, press Jump to drop down.

-When an enemy throws projectiles at you, it's usually better to dodge them first before attacking.


I took on the challenge of making a small game during the last couple of weeks from October, and here it is! It's a sidescrolling adventure inspired by the old platforming games on the NES, mostly the Castlevania trilogy. I wanted to make something simple gameplay-wise so all you have is your jump and a Melee weapon. Good luck!


I'm labeling this one as a demo as it could evolve into a larger project if the response is good. I had other features in mind such as other abilities so feedback is more than welcome.

very nice game but music too repetitive

This game was awesome! the wacky artstyle combined with the challenging gameplay made this game really good. im definitely playing the other 2 sometime.

Thanks for playing! (:

waow. a simple Metroidvania-esque platformer without the backtracking makes for a surprisingly fun game!

Bad Game

So much fun to play!
