Overview
Description

Control Beetlejuice through side‑scrolling and overhead levels as you stomp cockroaches for points and buy spooky tactics. The early stages follow the film's house, while later stages send you into sewers and the afterlife battling mythical foes. Mix comedy, action and platforming as you use your earned points to unleash scares, defeat bosses, and ultimately frighten the yuppie Deetz family away from the Maitland House.

Cooper Chance dives into Ghoulhaven Hall to save his girlfriend Amber, battling a quirky cast of supernatural foes. The game blends platforming, beat‑em‑up combat, and dark comedy as you explore a monster‑filled mansion. Along the way, Cooper can recruit eccentric hired hands, upgrade weapons, and solve light puzzles, delivering a playful yet spooky experience for single‑player fans.
