I just beat this game, and... wow. It's definitely one of Hamumu's best.

Graphics: 7/10
Most of the graphics were just recycled from previous games, but the new ones were very good, and they fit the spooky/dumb theme.

Music/Sound: 10/10
Wow... just... wow. This was definitely the best Hamumu game ever made, music-wise. That's just about it.

Story: 8/10
This game had an excellent story. I really understood what was going on most of the time, unlike in most (non-Hamumu) games.

Monsters/Combat: 10/10
It was nice to see the old Loonyland monsters again, and what new monsters that were made were just about perfect. When I first saw the Headless Horseradish, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing!

Puzzles: 10/10
This was perhaps the best balance of combat/puzzle ever made for a game, Hamumu or otherwise. The puzzles were difficult, but not to the point of being impossible, and the monsters were the perfect touch, as I have said before.

Overall: 45/50
This was a perfect Halloween game, and I can't wait to see the next adventure of Bouapha.

So, that's my 2 cents. Thanks for reading.

Thanks, that's high ratings! I have to give credit to assorted people, I don't know specifically who, for a lot of the tiles. I swiped a fair number from the ones that come with Supreme (and plenty more from LL1 and LL2!), so several other people made those, and I don't know who. The one that comes to mind is the graveyard fence, I know somebody made that for one of their HHs... I think either Christian or TDM? The other one I recall was when I got really lazy and used the bottom half of somebody's book tile to make the ledger in the inn. That's pretty bad, I suppose. I like how it looks.

Anyway, thank you, tile providers!

I swiped the tiles too! :D I think they were in one of the earliest worlds.
