### 2/5 — Best Autumn Halloween Game

*2023-10-17*

This is a great, festive game. If you like celebrating Halloween, maybe watch It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown every year, and really enjoy Final Fantasy type games with cartoon graphics, then this game is for you. And, it is very much my type of game. HOWEVER, it’s no longer available on iOS. And it’s not available for any modern console. This series deserves to be on all of the latest platforms including mobile. It’s the one game I want to play every single year.

### 5/5 — Please update this game to 64-bit

*2023-09-28*

Please Doublefine, update this game for 64-bit iPhones… I miss playing this every Halloween.
