Trick or Treat!
There it is - another qame, made with the sweet pocket-platformer from l0bster !
Woohoohoo, this is my contribution for the Trick or Treat Jam. If you found this: Sorry for stealing your time ;)
The story so far:
It is halloween. The birds are singing, the doorbells are ringing and the children are collecting sweets. Every child, except Edeltraud. Edeltraud is an idiot. She wants to have tons of candy, but running around the neighbourhood is so exhausting! Edeltraud heard about a creepy castle behind the cementary. There must be halloween-pros with lots of candy living in this not so cozy place! Some kind of doctor lives there - hope he is not a dentist.
So Edeltraud cuts holes in moms best bedsheet and walks with a basket in her hand towards the castle. She opens the big, heavy gate of the fence and enters the cementary. Believe it or not, there were plenty of sweets in the castle´s shed. Suddenly the gate shut with a loud bang! The gate wont open anymore, so the only way home is through the creepy castle. Will Edeltraud survive this adventure and get back home with her basket full of sweets?
This horrible horror game features:
- 15 challenging levels. Okay, 9 challenging levels - the rest is easy as pie.
- The first appereance of Edeltraud, the lazy brat
- Eyeballs. So many Eyeballs!
- Green Ghost-Souls. First they were lost souls, but luckily I found them
- Friendly gigantic pumpkins
- Climbable corpses (they won´t matter)
- Puzzles with switches. Yeah, I knew you like it!
- Retro soundtrack - better than licking silicone-ears!
Control Edeltraud using the left and right arrow-key. Press Up or C to jump. The rest should be pretty self-explaining. Really..... its not THAT hard!
Could make problems on Mac using Safari or Firefox - Sorry for that!

This was great! How did you put music and custom sounds in the game? I haven't been able to figure it out. Thank you!
You have to upload the mp3s (or wav) somewhere external. In the newest Version of Pocket Platformer, you can enter the URL to the Music directly in the editor. To change the SFX you have to edit the html code. This is simpler as it sounds: Open the HTML File (your game) with a text editor. Search for "google" in the code. You will have 7 hits: The first one is the font, the other six are URLs the the sound files for Jump (long and short), Dash, Hit, Win, Select. replace the google URL with the URL of your sound files. Don´t delete the " before and after the URL ;)
Thank you so much! Is there a specific website that you used to upload your mp3s/wavs?
I run a website, so I simply used my own webspace. The important thing is, that everybody can access the file without logging in. Don´t know if that works with cloud services like the "normal" google drive if you share the file e.g. "with anyone with the link".
Thank you, again! This was very helpful!
Charming and fun. Love it.
is there a walkthrough ? im stuck on a level and i dont understand how to get past it ...
I‘ll upload a walkthrough in the next two days. On which level are you stuck?
