A few years ago I made a little game for Halloween, and I've got it on sale for a few dollars now.

Play a pumpkin man visiting the mortal world to rent Jurassic Park from the video store, and getting minorly embroiled in a Witch's curse:

In Mansion of a Million Monsters, you get to unmask the culprit at the end of each case!
It won't actually always be the Butler. OR will it???
(no, I'm being told that's a very bad idea and not to do that)

I'm always trying to experiment with verticality in top-down level design. I find it very fun. I'm now working on a bridge system. Is it clear that this is supposed to be a bridge?
