Sceletus Venatus

A Halloween-themed scrolling platformer

For years, Bob the skeleton lived a peaceful, happy life in his haunted mansion. However, that would all change when a new family moved in next door to him. This family owned a dog, who, despite the neighbors' assurances, was clearly a skeleton murderer. Every day he would sit at the window, staring into Bob's house. Bob could no longer leave his house, for fear of being chewed on by a hungry canine. Soon, Halloween came around. Staying inside all year was fairly common for a skeleton, but this was one day he couldn't afford to miss. Bob spent weeks working up the courage to finally open the door and step outside. But in that critical moment, disaster stuck. As he pushed the door open, there stood the neighbor's dog, drooling and ready for a snack. Can Bob escape his pursuer, or will he become a tasty chew toy?
