Really solid idea with a nice mix of mechanics. The candy economy could use some balance perhaps? Or maybe I was just not stunning the enemies often enough...

interesting idea could be fun but moving the mouse is problematic, however for some reason while in the shop mouse works fine so maybe you just have a bit of rogue code going on. good work otherwise tho :)

I found it really interesting. Unfortunately, I had issues with the mouse, but I see you've been already mentioned on that, so I won't comment further! I really find the mechanics interesting, keep it up.

This game is really hard because I struggled to attack pursing pumpkins and other enemy types. I would have liked to know the key/mouse binding to shoot because there was this one playthrough I had where I was able to shoot and kill pumpkins to gain candy.

I like how the flashlight is implemented as a stun mechanic against the enemy. That makes for great game design and adds variety of approaches to defeat enemies. Also although I struggled a lot with this game, I noticed 2 TVs that I can use to upgrade my player's stats or get more ammo.

The stamina component is amazingly made and it's almost the same exact idea that our team had with our game. I would like to believe that this game is fun because it certainly has the potential to be really fun, just don't know the shooting controls or I'm just not that smart. Well done with the overall aesthetics and audio of the game.

It's a fun game, but didn't work well for me. I couldn't turn the camera.

Unfortunately  it doesn't really work for me, the mouse behaves strange shocky/snapping back to the middle. Not sure what is going on i tried chrome and edge. I will try to come back on a different machine some time to see that fixes it. The game looks promising

Hey man, sorry to hear that, but thanks for giving it a shot! If you want, try the ZIP download—I find it runs much better and offers the full experience. Thanks again

Fun game! Was a little fast with the guys coming at me suddenly. Loved the flashlight stun. And the trees turning to me when I got close was a nice touch :)

Nice entry for the jam, well done! The movement and shooting feels smooth and theres enough interesting things like the flashlight which add variety to the gameplay. The art assets and things like lighting effects are implemented really well and creates a nice creepy atmosphere which also goes well with the enemy character models. One aspect you may want to add on is some sort of visual feedback various actions like getting hit or hitting the enemy etc. That will definitely add to the fun factor and also give some clue to the player in case hes being hit from behind. Good job overall, would like to see this concept expanded on!

Just a little hint (You will find two unique tombstones in the graveyard, should try interact with both ;))

Solid game overall. Really felt like playing Quake. The dancing skeletons on the main screen were a really nice touch. They were hilarious! Did you get those from Mixamo? The TV as a shop was a neat idea. The trick or treating at the doors was really awesome too. Loved the music too. Very 90s video game heart-pumping action.

It was a really enjoyable game, but the enemies came on tooo fast IMO. I would've liked to see it ramp up after I figured out how to play and had some power ups.

Really good entry overall.
