How to play Halloween Knife
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. It is a mouse-only game, so there is nothing to memorise on the keyboard — which is also why it feels native on a touchscreen. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

Why it is worth playing
The reason Halloween Knife holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — music & rhythm — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. That is the whole pitch, and it is enough.
