Fight zombies, bats, and demons to rescue your girlfriend. And when you're done, design a new challenge for your friends!

Inspired by the classic 1985 game (1986, for the NES port), Ghosts 'n Goblins, known for its tough-as-nails gameplay and a protagonist who can't quite seem to keep his clothes on. Its Japanese name is 魔界村 makaimura ("Demon World Village"), so I decided to use a variation on that.

Made for Cover Up Jam #4. (No pun intended.)
