About Rattle & Roll!

Rattle & Roll! is a free spooky-cute adventure for your browser and phone. You play Rattle, a little skeleton who danced so hard on Halloween night that he fell to pieces, and his bones rolled all over the graveyard. You start some stages as nothing but a skull: roll over your bones to snap them back on. One leg lets you hop, two legs let you run, arms let you throw, and ribs take a hit for you. Get all five bones back and climb into your own grave (follow the glowing beacon) before the sun comes up.

Your arms are your only weapon: throw one at a zombie and its head pops right off, throw another while it gropes around headless and it is done for. Then the hand crawls back to you on its fingers. Graveyard hounds steal bones and hide them in their kennel, but they can never resist a game of fetch. Old Mort the gravekeeper patrols with a lantern: stay out of its light, hide behind tombstones and ring a bell to lure him away. Pop jack-o-lanterns into candy, slip past wailing ghosts under the lamp posts, and face three bosses: Big Bertha the hellhound, the Pumpking and Mortimer the Undying.
