I think this may be my first time playing Halloween Harry this month. Maybe I ran into the shareware version years back – it’s didn’t leave an impression if so.
I’m feeling much the same as everyone else. The controls are OK, but I’d prefer something a bit more floaty for the jetpack really. Something more along the lines of Joust/Flappy Bird physics. I wouldn’t say it’s short myself, I’ve found some levels quite tricky and needed to learn my way around them before I could get through. I’ve made it to episode 3 at this point.
The 2 bosses haven’t had much going for them, about as basic as bosses get really. I struggled to get the game running also, it doesn’t run if you have a GUS sound card. You’d think it would have built in support with the mod music. The Alien Carnage freeware release thankfully behaves better so I’ve been playing that.
It’s definitely lacking something as has been said but it’s passable. Jazz Jackrabbit and Earthworm Jim were better. I do like the graphics still. The developer went on to make Flight Of The Amazon Queen I believe – it was a good idea to put all those pixel art skills in another genre I feel.
