About this game

Ghouls is a single-screen platform game set in a haunted mansion. Control a creature as it climbs from the bottom of the screen, using platforms to recover power jewels stored at the top.

Loose jewels can be collected along the way, but ghosts, spiders, spikes, moving platforms, and dangerous falls threaten your four lives. A special jewel temporarily makes the ghosts disappear, while springs let you jump higher. Each level must be completed before the timer runs out.
