Most 2D games see the background colorful and flat with the traversable foreground items in more 3D for easy navigation. There is no depth perception in the game. During the levels, it’s extremely hard to notice what items are barriers or obstacles and which ones you can pass through or jump on. Unfortunately, it’s held back by the 2D setup.

The hand-crafted appearance and color palette is appealing and well-suited to the Halloween motif. There’s a huge design flaw here, but I’ll get to that in a minute.įirst, let’s start with the art design. We can purchases skill upgrades, extra health, regeneration and additional weapons. Starting off in HollowTown, this serves as our hub world in between levels and at death. That company, of course, is called Faceboo and its owner is Fackerburg.

Being from HollowTown, Scary must save his town from the evil company stealing jobs from its residents. The entire premise is obvious parody on social media and how people need to fight to save themselves from the so called evil conglomerate. It’s the leading developer for Candy- a huge deal around Halloween obviously. In Death or Treat, we play as Scary – a ghost who owns Ghost Mart. Our Death or Treat gameplay review awaits you below – if you dare. It presents some unique elements and setup, but many design choices and technical glitches drastically hold it back.

It’s a 2D roguelike platformer centered around a Halloween theme that greatly resembles Have a Nice Death in terms of gameplay and art design. Death of Treat is the premiere game from indie developer Saona Studios with Perp games as publisher.
