Not bad, not bad at all :) I couldn't figure out the losing or winning condition, but running around, scaring people, and upgrading stats felt rewarding :) Some spooky background music and sfx would make the game even more enjoyable.
I like the choice of going in a Halloween direction. It fits so well with the theme :) The game looks nice and solid. The upgrades work as intended, too. So far, the game is very simple, but with some more mechanics, this could be a nice little game to play here and there. I enjoyed the bit of fun I got from it a lot.
That was a bit of fun - I wasn't sure what the win state was but had bought all the upgrades and couldn't find the ghost I finished at that point - I would have liked some reason to keep jumping out of the grass but there didn't seem any point when I could just run around picking up the corn and scaring while doing so. but I did enjoy doing that...
Pretty solid! However, it’s seems like scaring visitors are a bit too easy as you can just go near them and collect all the candy corns. I see quite a lot of potential here though! Perhaps adding a more propper ending or making the game longer / much more replayablke somehow can deifnitely make it pretty fun.
Wow this brought back so many nostalgic Halloween memories! Great idea! I wish there was some stakes though like having to keep them in the maze as long as possible. The upgrade tree was so satisfyingly done aswell. Given some more features to make it a highs score style game this could easily be one of the most fun 2d entries
Solid starter game, what was the idea for the end game? Seems like after you get all the upgrades, the game continues but there is nothing left to do...
Good job!
