Description
Citrouille is an arcade platformer featuring adorable little witches on a quest for candy. Despite the childish appearance, the gameplay is merciless. There is no jump, you have to rely on your magic ladders, spells and power ups to get through. Brave the danger, face your nemesis, cover the world with flowers and claim the treats you deserve!
History
After failing to complete an ambitious project, the Lumen Section team had to pull themselves together. In 2016 the development of Citrouille was started out of the desire to create a simple but complete project and to learn from it. The aim was to revamp some old arcade games from our childhood – especially from Amiga – and to offer a modernized tribute. The game was named Citrouille, French for Pumpkin, because it draws inspiration from Halloween imagery.
