Halloween Champion 2016

Halloween Champion 2016 was a Flash game from that era of simple browser titles you'd find on casual gaming sites. It came out in 2016, as the name suggests, and it fit right in with the seasonal games that popped up every October.

You control a pumpkin, using your mouse to move it back and forth along the bottom of the screen. Your goal is to keep a smaller Halloween object, like a bat or another pumpkin, in the air by bouncing it off your character. You try to aim this projectile upward to break the floating skulls that appear. The game moves at a steady pace, but it gets harder as more targets fill the screen and you have to manage your positioning carefully. It feels like a straightforward test of timing and reflexes, a quick way to pass a few minutes.
