Gameplay
The game is a 2D platformer with the classic rule of the player character taking damage when it comes in direct contact with the enemy. Initially the player can only control Jack Frost but very quickly it will rescue Jack o' Lantern to join. Jack Frost can walk and jump. Switching to Jack o' Lantern allows hovering slightly above the ground. Mid-way through the game, Jack Frost obtains the Demonica armor which transforms it into Demonee-Ho, this gives it additional null-poison resistance and change its attack to gun-type. The player can also obtain optional spells at various points in the map which cost MP to cast. Innate attacks on the other hand do not consume MP.
- Jack Frost's innate attacks:
- Horizontal ice projectile.
- During air holding down button and pressing attack button allows downward ice projectile. Mashing the attack button allows Jack Frost to remain in air briefly during the attack execution.
- Holding the attack button until "charge" bubble appears and then release the button will unleash a stronger horizontal projectile which pierces through obstacles and enemies on its line of fire and freeze the enemies briefly.
- Charged ice projectile does not have the air-downward counterpart. It is always horizontal.
- All ice projectiles can freeze water surface permanently until switching area or melted by Jack o' Lantern's fire attack.
- Jack o' Lantern's innate attacks:
- Three fire projectiles spread slightly like a sharp cone. It can change to 8 ordinal directions by holding the directional key and pressing attack button. For example, holding left and up buttons and pressing attack button shoots the fire projectile upper-leftward.
- Holding the attack button until "charge" bubble appears and then release the button will unleash a stronger single projectile which pierces through obstacles and enemies on its line of fire.
- During charging, its firing direction can be adjusted freely with a trajetory line visible for indication.
- All fire projectiles can melt the frozen water surface.
All player characters and enemies possess elemental resistance affinities: Gun, Fire, Ice, Electric, and Wind. Jack Frost nulls Ice and is weak to fire. Jack o' Lantern nulls fire and is weak to ice. Element skills including ones for Gun, Wind, and Elec can be obtained by exploring each area.
