Face off against bloated ghosts, laughing pumpkins, creaking skeletons and many other strange creatures of the night.

Choose between different Ghost Sweepers with their unique abilities. Scrounge around for secret stages and treasure to unlock useful items in the shop and uncover bonus levels. Are you smart and skilled enough to defeat the Dark Lord… and maybe steal all his gold!?
