I liked the other one better!
Continuing on.
Fundamentally, every B flat or E minor, when played from the same instrument is the same. If you tune your guitar just like Slash and play on the same model, you should be able to play one note exactly like him.

Except that's entirely wrong, but you probably were already squirming in your seat and wanting to say that when you read that first line. The note is not the fundamental, indivisible element of music, and 'the gameplay loop' is not that for a video game.
What you have with Spooked! is that same, quiet, dying note I mourned for a split second with Zapped!, but done mad dirty. It is, for consideration, mechanically better, you don't have to re-kill enemies (because you're not 'rescuing' them), your high powered attack is now a more tenably useable ranged attack, and you don't have to kill every enemy in a level.
So congrats, your note, played off of a child's rubber keyed toy keyboard, is more tonally perfect than the one your toddler is trying to sing. You sure showed them, but now your child doesn't want to sing anymore. Similarly, Spooked, in trying to improve this "formula" has removed the reasons you'd actually. Its difficulty wave function is far worse than Zapped, you don't keep your progress when you die (but it also feeds you 1-ups so you won't ever lose), the levels and monsters have no theming or direction, and, most importantly, there's no consideration for where they put those fucking water pits.
Oddly though, the molecule of gold in the speck of dung on the smudge of cream cheese frosting... you get to see more speaking characters from the show. Delightful. 2/100
