I really, really tried to love this game, but there's a lot of quirks that nearly ruined the experience for me. Luckily it was a short game, which shouldn't be a praise.

One of these quirks was the pumpkin-head only challenges, which the first couple I didn't mind. I thought it was a cute addition, but as the game went on and on, having two per level made it really frustrating, especially with the grave-matching and the presents levels. Similar complaints apply for the on-rails sections. I thought the cart riding sections were not only a nice addition, but they were kind of fun as well. Similarly, there being two per level with very little to differentiate itself, made it tedious and it lost all its charm.

Aside from that, the overall gameplay was okay at best, but what really irked me was the developer calling this a 3D platform as the primary genre. While it's a fine adventure game, the platforming boring at the absolute best. I came into this game thinking it was a platformer, was disappointed, then proceeded to look at it as a kind of cutesy linear adventure game, which I was fine with, but then learning the developer considers it a 3D platformer first and foremost, I got immediately disappointed again.

It's not all bad though, far from it. This game has its own sense of style and flare that really makes it feel like from a different era, which was a nice and refreshing change. The boss battles in this game were surprising great, which I did not expect but was pretty impressed by. The strongest asset this game does extremely well is the music. Sure, it may not be entirely original work songs, but the Halloween-esc remixes of classical songs was done excellently and I imagine I'd be listening to the soundtrack later on my own.
