Berlin, Germany — On October 11, kunst-stoff releases its very first social game and gets a six-month featured spot from Ehapa in the pages of the German cult magazine YPS. Up until now, J. Jitters— the little green jelly protagonist— could only be seen in the award winning game “The Great Jitters: Pudding Panic.” Now, he’s on the loose on Facebook, together with his new partner in crime: the German cult figure YPS kangaroo.

Help the shivering green pudding protagonist J. Jitters drive through a chimerical world of fright in a haunted house, where he must carry out a series of mini-quests.

There’s just one catch: He’s never alone! Bony witches, rattling skeletons and other freakish monsters romp around the maze of rails. The only way to survive is to rout these creatures with your own crazy weapons. Scare or be scared.

“The Great Jitters: Haunted Hunt” is a tricky action-puzzle game that demands quick reflexes to use the right weapons and work the railway switches to collect boosters and other tokens. Players who master this challenge can invite their Facebook friends to see who is the best and fastest at navigating the haunted house. “The Great Jitters: Haunted Hunt” poses a perpetual challenge to collect goodies, scare your foes and outrace your friends.

“You can see Haunted Hunt as a modern Pac Man,” said Patrick Rau, CEO and Creative Director at kunst-stoff, “in that you can play against all your friends”.

From October 11, the beta version of “The Great Jitters: Haunted Hunt” will be available to all Facebook users to get them in a Halloween mood.
