WILDEC and DEVOLER in collaboration with Flat Rock Software just announced the release of Dangerous Dave in The Haunted Mansion, a remake of a classic platform game for mobile phones.

You are to travel through the Mansion full of evil spirits, ghouls, and other threats, in search for your missing brother. After the engaging outset, tons of levels come packed with a fascinating platformer action featuring the cool main hero.

Dangerous Dave in The Haunted Mansion isn't actually the first game of the original series. But it is proved to be the finest part of Dave's adventures, so that playing this game, you'll get all the best from the entire Dangerous Dave's series.

The original game was developed by John Romero and John Carmack from ID Software. It was their first game with a shotgun in it. Later the company got famous for Doom and Quake series but it was their precursor, Dangerous Dave that first brought sensation into the world of games with its astonishing action.

Here's the trivia. Dave's brother was unlucky enough to be trapped somewhere in the Haunted Mansion. The fan of extreme adventures Dave sets out to look for his sibling. He carries a shotgun that deals with ghastly zombies in no time. But you can't always rely upon ammunition, so instead of shooting down enemies, you can avoid them with your leaps and bounds.

The Mansion and its outskirts take plenty of levels and hide numbers of secrets which you should reveal to reach better score. Will you be able to escape all the traps and monsters, grab some treasures and save the life of your brother and yours as well?

Dangerous Dave in The Haunted Mansion has a unique feature: the close-ups of your downfalls. The cartoon violence became the cornerstone of Dangerous Dave series. Nice visuals and smooth animation along with the charismatic main hero make this game a worthy pick for mobile entertainment.

Dangerous Dave in The Haunted Mansion runs on all mobile phones supporting Java. Further information about the game, as well as a trial copy is available free of charge from the developer's website.
