    Shout-outs to the sickos - Haunted Lands is a FANTASTIC game that's catching a lot of flak simply because it's difficult. If you're willing to take it slow and expect each level to take a couple tries, it's a gem. Seriously, one of the best platform shooters I've played in ages. It's also under $5

    For the under-forty crowd (this game dates me like WHOA), Dangerous Dave was one of those early shareware gems from shortly after Commander Keen 'solved' smooth-scrolling and action on PC. A gory platform shooter with reload mechanics. Haunted Lands is an expanded take on that old formula and look.

    Macaw's streaming more Haunted Lands, which is one of my favourite platformers in a while. Shocking for a 16-color, DOS-styled game that only costs $5.

    After the recent release of Haunted Lands (on Steam, GOG, etc.) and seeing it was a direct homage to Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion, it appears lots of people found my video, which covers the game with as much detail as I could pack. I'm glad you're all enjoying it, as I loved making it!

    One thing I am digging about the new game Haunted Lands is that it is more of a strategic platformer and less of a twitch one. It's still hard as balls, but never unfair. It's a game that respects you and expects the same respect in kind. Very good stuff. www.gog.com/en/game/haun...

    I am fully obsessed with Haunted Lands. Haven't cursed out a game this much in a long time, but I can't stop playing! Just the level design alone is enough for me. Giving a lot of the same feelings I had when I finally cracked into Hollow Knight last year. Also it's $5!

    Haunted Lands (2026) sure is inspired by a DOS game, not just the artstyle but the antiquated-ass checkpoint/quicksave system. checkpoints are too far apart but the overall combat and platforming is honestly really good. I think only bosses are where this suffers, they're hard to read on purpose

    Update, I fully recommend this game (Haunted Lands) if you're into very VERY difficult action platformers, like the kind where you have to actually learn the layout of the levels and enemy spawn points and stuff along with how to fully use your character's moveset or you're going to get hard stuck

    Demo 121: Haunted Lands is a nice little side scroller reminiscent of DOS era games. It's not something I would wishlist, but the game is fun and well made for what it is
