About This Game

Are you ready to relive the nostalgia of classic arcade games? Halloween 1985 transports you back to the essence of mid-80s platform games, where the action is fast, reflexes are key, and the adventures are unforgettable.

Halloween night 1985, the Halloween monsters decide to steal all the pumpkins from the shop of Pumpkman, our protagonist. Take control of Pumpkman and help him get all his pumpkins back through five dreamlike, original and hilarious scenarios. Face the monsters in their lairs, recover all the stolen pumpkins and get ready for the final challenge: teach the big Halloween boss a lesson.

Main Game Features:

  • A classic arcade adventure: This game will take you back to the magical arcades of the 80s!

  • 3 Game modes:

    • Beginner mode: Perfect for getting started in mastering the game (1 round).   

    • Expert mode: Complete adventure, high difficulty and no continues (2 rounds).   

    • Speedrun mode: For the most experienced players who want to be the fastest players  to beat the game (1 round).

5 iconic monster levels

Each level is designed to capture the spirit of Halloween with its                        characteristic monsters, in iconic settings:

  • Dracula awaits you in his dark castle. Remember that light is his enemy.     

                      

  • The Mummy lurks in the corridors of a mysterious pyramid, use its secret doors and dizzying ziplines to move around.

  • The Werewolf prowls around a dangerous abandoned mine full of speeding minecarts and dangerous electrical switches. Do you know anything about electric shocks?

  • The Witch has filled the enchanted forest with spells and traps. Use her magic cauldron wisely. She doesn't like her potions to be spilled.

  • The Evil Clown is the owner of a diabolical circus. Balloons, trapezes and the drop tube will be your allies to move around the screen.

         

+ Final boss: After recovering all the pumpkins stolen by the Halloween monsters, you must face the big boss, the most feared and cunning monster. Enter the challenging final level,  Inferno, where the devil awaits you with his own tricks and traps!

2 Extra objectives per level

 In addition to collecting all the pumpkins in each level, you can get a good handful of extra points by completing two additional objectives, which:

  • Pick up the pumpkins in order: Pick up the pumpkins in the order they are lit and get a juicy extra point bonus.

  • Banish the monster from each level: Hit the enemy 3 times and banish it in the most humiliating way possible, to get another juicy extra point bonus.

More features:

  • Classic platformer gameplay: Run, jump and dodge obstacles as you retrieve stolen pumpkins and avoid monster attacks.

  • Retro pixel graphics: Enjoy wonderful pixel art graphics that will make you feel like you're playing an 80s arcade machine.

  • Chiptune soundtrack: Delicious music will immerse you in the authentic retro atmosphere of 80s Halloween! With the best sound an arcade game from that era could have.

  • No-continue arcade challenges: Do you have enough skill to beat all the levels without being able to continue the game at any time? Only the best will make it to the end.

Halloween 1985 is here, Pumpkman needs you to get his pumpkins back and defeat these creepy monsters who want to ruin his day! Are you ready to take on the challenge?
