Ronald the ghost is a candy eating machine. But he's a ghost and doesn't have any candy of his own. Once a year he can scare trick-or-treaters into dropping their candy so he can take it all for himself.

Help Ronald collect as much candy as possible. Make sure the trick-or-treaters don't see you: if you don't sneak up on them and give them a fright, they won't be shocked enough to drop their candy —an embarrassment worse than death for ghosts like Ronald!

Spook 'Em is a candy-collecting platformer-bonanza made for #OMGJam5 with the theme 'trick-or-treat'.
