Looks like we neglected to cover Candygeist when it was announced last month, which is a shame considering how adorable it is! Honestly, a puzzle-adventure game set in a haunted candy factory sounds like the sort of thing that could easily be shovelware, but the screenshots, a fresh batch of which came out today, are leading me to believe otherwise. The game is described as “the simplest puzzler in the world,” focused solely on shooting without any of that pesky ducking or jumping. I’m hoping there’s a bit more complexity to its simplicity, but until more information comes out, I’m just going to forget about all of that and stare at the adorable screenshots (seen in the gallery, after the break).
KDV Games announces a new Adventure\Puzzle game for Nintendo DS platform – “CandyGeist”.
About the game

The local candy factory is haunted! Some spooky ghosts have taken over and turned every last piece of candy into… well, into something spooky and ghostly and weird!
