Have you ever had skeletons in the closet? Then you know that they’re quite annoying, and you know why you have to get rid of them in this little game.
The gameplay is simple: You play Beetlejuice, who has to get rid of skeletons on a square board. He does this by shooting at them, and then Lydia (the girl following you with a vacuum cleaner) cleans them up. That’s all there is to it.
Of course it’s not THAT easy: Skeletons shot down will rise again, more powerful than before, when not cleaned up in time. Worms will try to eat Beetlejuice and even his own friends will try to stop him.
More powerful skeletons will require more shots to take down. If a skeleton touches you, you’ll lose a life. If a skeleton touches Lydia, she’ll be imprisoned and can only be freed with a lightning powerup.
The only thing you can do against worms is to keep moving, and watch the board closely. If one of them eats you, you’ll lose a life.
For some reason Beetlejuice’s friends are bits hostile in this game. As long as they move about the board slowly, they’re harmless. But once they speed up, their touch is deadly. You can make them move slowly again by shooting them.
Luckily there are powerups available for Beetlejuice; usually they are obtained by shooting skeletons. These powerups can give you exploding spit to use against skeletons or the ability to use your head as a boomerang. Apart from that, you’ll find the Medusa’s Gaze at times, which freezes the skeletons in their tracks.
Another thing to watch on the board are beetles. There are five different kinds of beetles to be found, and each kind gives you a letter. Once you form the word ‘truth’, all skeletons on a level will be destroyed without rising again.
The bad things about the game are the lack of graphics, sound and, especially, difficulty. The game is very easy. You’ll be blasting through the levels like a bat out of hell, and by the time you reach level 75, the gameplay is bound to become a little boring.
Still, in the end, playing this game can be quite fun. If you’ve got some time to spare, try this game.
