Teeth Grief 🦷 [4/4] (C/W: Blood, Dentistry) #comics
Page 7: We return to #32 in the dish, looking worse for wear, blood trickling from its side. We see the close up of another fallen tooth, to reveal Sgt.Kepp, helmet fallen to the side, an unlit cigarette as one of its roots reaches out to the distance, its lighter on the floor. p1 **GUNDERSON** It feels so, cold. Like a biting into a Klondike bar. On the bright side... p2 ...I found Kepp. ### Page 8: A red spotlight is cast over #32, as it lays dying. We close in as the life disappears from its eye. p1 **GUNDERSON** I hate being right. p2 Monsters run the world. p3 And their ain't no tooth fairy. Page 10: Closing panel, Two teeth, the background soaking its blood like gauze. Fin! Signed Josue Cruz November 2025.

Teeth Grief 🦷 [3/4] (C/W: Blood, Dentistry) #comics
Page 4: A wide shot reveals the encroaching enemy, a gleaming pair of stainless steel tongs sneaks up behind the old, battered, tooth. The tongs clamp down around its head.... p1 **GUNDERSON** Monster's run our world, MAN! And there ain't no tooth fairy neither! p2 **GUNDERSON** Eh?? ### Page 5: In the real world, a hefty dentist rips the molar out of Josue, who is gripping at the operating chair. *(SFX)* KRACK! ### Page 6: A close up of the dentists hand opening the tongs to drop the molar into a metal dish with a (SFX) tonk! p1 **DENTIST** How was that? Any pain? **JOSUE** Nopeth, noth at awll dawk-taw'!

Teeth Grief 🦷 [2/4] (C/W: Blood, Dentistry) #comics
The first three pages of teeth grief. Page 1: A panicked tooth sitting in the gums, wearing a radio head set shouts out to the rest of the molars. Until the furthest molar speaks up from the shadows. p1 GUNDERSON: MAY DAY! MAY DAY! p2 GUNDERSON: Still no word from Asimov or Lewis, and now #17 has gone radio-silent. Sgt. Kepp, are you there? I repeat, Sgt. K- p3 **KOVARSKY** Shut it, Gunderson. They're all gone. ### Page 2: Molar #31 talks back to the insubordinate, chipped and rotted, wisdom tooth. p1 **#31** Tighten up, 32! We are dealing with an active enemy here! You got some chip on your enamel 'cause' the brush don't come this far back? Well tough nuts! p2 **GUNDERSON** Monsters... We are dealing with Monsters, #31. ### Page 3: The old tooth speaks its wisdom. p1 **GUNDERSON** They make us numb, picking and prodding, drilling into our heads, chipping away until they've gotten into the root. Remember when they came for Dominguez a few years back? He hasn't said a word since!* I know you all think I'm crazy, but...

We’ve made it to world 2-A! These enemies have about 4 different patterns they shoot their spiky balls in, so easy to evade if you pay attention!
Pomelo, a square plant with a spiky bulbous cap, and a mean glare. Its cheeks are puffed up as if holding its breath. Its flavor text reads: THIS UNPLEASANT PLANT DOES NOT LIKE BEING CROWDED. IF YOU GET TOO CLOSE, YOU ARE BOUND TO BE SPORE IN THE MORNING! Quote: I’ll huff an’ I’ll puff!”

Toddy was fun to play as, but not as much as Bobbie. Although there was a cool mechanic where timing your bat hits just right would determine how much damage the baseball would take on enemies.
Player: Toddy Espantos. A young kid wearing a backwards baseball cap and jersey, shorts and some tennis shoes. He has spiky dark hair, a determined look in his eyes, and playfully sticking out his tongue. He holds a baseball bat over his shoulder in one hand and a mitt with a baseball in the other. Flavor text reads: When the curse of the ringmaster hit splitsville, no one else was better suited for the challenge than smalltown all-star toddy espantos. their bullseye accuracy and powerhouse swing make them quite effective at close and far ranges. Toddy was in the middle of pitching a perfect game before the curse turned everyone on the field into pumpkins.

The first boss in the game wasn’t really the hardest challenge. Essentially it was a game of whack-a-mole, where the boss would come out of one of the 6 open graves. You’d have to get your hits in before it swung that huge sickle that had a pretty wide hit box.
Boss of world 1 (Graveyard). This big ghoul is shown coming out of an open grave, surrounded by moss covered tombs. The GroundsKreeper is a large, one-eyed figure with a bag of fertilizer for its head. It where’s a tattered pair of overalls with a dirty work shirt and work boots. In one of its garden gloved hands it holds a rusty sickle. Its arms are completely composed of tangled worms! Flavor text reads: “ It is no easy task to keep this cemetery looking so overgrown and destitute. Be careful, this ghoul will cut you down to size!” quote: “I’m done pushing daisies!”

These took multiple hits to take out, sometimes The Frank-Kap would pop out, and the body would move around the screen on its own, quickly and randomly 💀
Kap N Stein, A brutish enemy from World 1 (Graveyard), a large frankenstein’d body topped with the grunt enemy, Frank-Kap. It’s flavor text reads: Slow-moving and as dense as a brick wall, getting past these brutes is a challenge! These guys know how to get a-head!” Quote: “Oh, this one’s just a lease!”
