Mahou no Pumpkin [GBA/JPN]

NCS Product Synopsis
Release Date: April 24, 2003
«©NCSX» When Halloween rolls around, a group of curious candy eaters dressed as goblins, ghouls and other creatures of the night are intrigued by stories of a Candy House somewhere in the depths of the forest. With a mission to get that candy, the tempted tykes go hunting for this house of manna to fill their bags with sweets. When they reach their target, a pumpkin-headed Bogeyman decides to dole out a nasty trick and summarily steals their souls. That...won't...do.

   Rushing to the rescue, little witch Ann and her demon sidekick Greg venture forth to rescue the children in this 2-D platform action game where Ann attacks with a flying hat and Greg pokes foes with a pitchfork and the occasional rippling wave of fire. The first of fifteen levels puts our wee heroine in a graveyard setting where spirits lurk and skeletal warriors brandish weapons and slash at prey. Later levels include an ice cave, a haunted house and a crossing bridge which are all protected by bosses. A Frankenstein-like creature, a haggard witch and a caped demon make up some of the honchos who attempt to stop your progress.
