Halloween Shooter (<1Mb)
We all have to have some fun for Halloween, so I need to post at least this one (well maybe one or two more as well!) fun game for all of the family, and this is on a much lighter and totally less serious level and note! It has a Halloween theme of course with all of the trimmings, but as well as being partly a fun challenge, it also has a brighter and well funny side to it! There are 20 levels to complete, with 4 bonus levels unlockable at bored.com.
You see, as Count Dracula you can launch multiple (!) clones of yourself with a simple aiming system, to complete various tasks that no Count Dracula worth his salt (ouch!) could fail or fail to attempt! Now I say aha, as it’s dawned on me (shut out that sunlight someone!) that you have switch between the different monsters to fit the task in hand, so Dracula himself shuts coffin lids on himself, witches go into the cauldron and the mummy fits into his multi-colored case or casket. Try the wrong monsters and they’ll just pile up ridiculously as you shoot them at the targets.
To complicate matters slightly you then have to collect various monster coins to unlock the monster types. Then you get more monster types like Frankenstein, and more complicated tasks to do! Plus moving platforms and swinging beams, but it never gets too difficult! There are of course evil pumpkins that do their best to get in the way!
The graphics are bright and colorful and very nicely drawn. The tasks are semi-physics based and there are some cute animations. There are packs of candy a plenty and it’s fun trying to get all of these, as well as completing the challenges. The sound/music is bright but deliberately annoying after a short (or very short!) while.
It’s mouse controlled, aim with the mouse and shoot using the left mouse button. Placing the cursor further out lengthens the shot by increasing its power. It does get mighty challenging later on!
It plays in most media or Shockwave players with the downloaded file via an internet connection, but not in a browser from the download. You can also play it online at a large number of sites.
This is a bright and cheerful fun Halloween game for all ages!

Download HERE (link is lower down page as ‘save to your desktop’) use the ‘save page as’ feature of your browser when the game loads. I have to make a humble apology. You can only save a swf downloader for this particular game, which gets the game eg into your media player via the Internet, ie it can't be played without an internet connection. Sorry on this one.
