GRIMMWICK — RELIGHT THE NIGHT Welcome to Grimmwick, the town where Halloween never ends. Every hundred years the Ember Moon recharges the Everflame — the great bonfire that keeps every ghost friendly and every candy sweet.

Everyone always says Pip is too small for adventures. Everyone is about to be wrong. A REAL ADVENTURE, COMPLETELY FREE • 25 handcrafted levels across 5 districts — moonlit pumpkin farms, a spooky cemetery that descends into glowing catacombs, a haunted witchwood, a pirate galleon beached in a dried-up harbor, and a clockwork castle where every clock stopped at midnight • 5 boss guardians, each with its own fight — and each with a secret takedown for clever players to discover • A wholesome ending: the final blow of the game is not an attack RACE THE NIGHT • Game Center leaderboards: the Fastest Night board ranks every finisher, and the Flawless board crowns perfect 75-star runs • Unlockable characters with their own moves — ride Zoe the Witchling's broom, and someone else is waiting at the end of the story... • THE FIRST FLAME: a one-of-a-kind reward worn by exactly ONE player in the world — the reigning champion. Take it if you can. FEELS LIKE THE CLASSICS Run, double-jump, ground-pound, mega-bounce, and climb through levels built the way you remember: one idea introduced, twisted, and mastered; secret exits; high roads and low roads; hidden warps for speedrunners.

Verdict

The call

On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
