Shoot your way through Jack Lantern’s world of machete-wielding cartoon skeletons.

These Undead Won’t Kill Themselves

Jack Lantern is not messing around with these monsters. As you jump and climb through the ghastly levels, you collect candy that serves as gun-buying currency. Destroying your enemies also gives you points towards your next purchase.

Get Those Zombies!

The game encourages progress with careful placement of checkpoints. Defeating monsters requires more finesse than simple click-and-shoot; you have to duck and dodge to avoid their attacks if you want to stay alive. Jack Lantern also makes extensive use of wall-jumping as a slick technique to get around the level. Make sure you have plenty of bandwidth – at times my jumping was spotty, resulting in some real frustration. I mean, somebody’s gotta cap these ghouls!
