Halloween 1985 is a fun single screen arcade platformer in an 80s arcade style with a spooky theme. It's challenging, it will take me a while to get a hang of it.

A fun little 80's style Single Screen Halloween themed game. Reminiscent of the original Chuckie Egg if you're old enough to remember, or Donut Dodo if you're not. Collect all the pumpkins, win the level. Beat the level boss for big points. Easy to learn, hard to master. Worth the money if you enjoy these games. Fully Steam Deck compatible. Runs under Linux. Works a charm!

Great little 80's arcade style game, basically a Halloween theme Bomb Jack with a bit of Donkey Kong added to the mix where you get to kill off the bad guys too, been waiting a year for this to come out and it didn't disappoint, love it, short and sweet like most retro arcade games but for the price you can't go wrong, Happy Halloween!

Classic arcade game with simple but entertaining gameplay. If you're looking for a good retro challenge without having to insert coins into an arcade machine, this game is for you.
