Adventures of Beetlejuice: Skeletons in the Closet

About

Adventures of Beetlejuice: Skeletons in the Closet is a quirky platformer where you play as the mischievous Beetlejuice, flinging globs of goo at skeleton enemies to clear their bony remains. Progress through levels by upgrading your arsenal, start with a single loogie and unlock multi-shot attacks or entirely new weapons by collecting power-ups from defeated foes. The challenge ramps up fast with shifting hazards and tight platforming, making every skeletal target a test of timing and precision. What really sets this game apart is the two-player dynamic. While Beetlejuice deals damage, a partner controls Lidia, vacuuming up debris to keep the playing field clear. If a skeleton corners Lidia, Beetlejuice must grab a lightning bonus to rescue her, adding a frantic layer of coordination. Despite its 1990 release, the chaotic action and escalating difficulty still stand out, with retro fans praising its relentless energy and creative mechanics over 30 years later.
