Nice wave shooter. It wasn't very clear what you choose at the end of each wave. Sadly I was overwhelmed on wave 3 before I could buy a single  powerup. Maybe it would help if you spread out the skeletons a bit more or let them move more slowly?

Well done!

Game plays smoothly. Suggestions would be to maybe not make it so difficult at the start of the game - too many skeletons spawn at once and maybe make the bullet travel a bit faster. 

The sound is implemented nicely and the mechanic where you have a few skeletons targeting the TV while others target good is smart!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Nicely done! I wish I had had some kind of idea of what a trick or a treat could be - maybe even, seeing both and just not knowing which one will be picked in the end. Would've given my choice a lot more meaning.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! This is actually a good idea to view the trick or treat options before choosing!

The visuals are promising, but the controls feel awkward and inconsistent, which makes the gameplay frustrating at times. The level design is confusing in spots, and the lack of clear goals can leave players directionless. With some serious polish on the mechanics and pacing, this could be a standout jam entry. If you have a moment, I’d really appreciate it if you checked out and rated my Halloween jam game too: /jam/gamedevtv-halloween-jam-2025/rate/3971977

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I will also check your game out

Nice game, it was fun, the only problem is that on the web version, we cannot close the menu where we choose an upgrade, because the esc key just exit full screen, but it's still a good game

Thank you for the feedback!

Fun little game. Initially difficulty seems a bit tough, the expensive guns sounded much more fun than the starter one and grinding feels a little demotivating without them coming easier. Obviously in the context of a released game you want players to play as much as possible, but I definitely feel more towards making jam games easier and quick to complete just because you know players are going to want to play a lot of games. Only "bug criticisms" I could think of would be the enemies sticking on trees and them inconsistently attacking the TV. But nice fun lil top down shooter and I loved the risk vs reward trick or treat system! 💛

Thank you for the feedback! I agree with the difficulty curve it seems everyone had that problem

Nice! "Vampire Survivor" games aren't my favorite genre, but overall I had fun! Too bad there's no autofire (or rather, it didn't seem like it), so I had to do a bit of keysmashing.

Keep it up!

I really like the gameplay, it feels great!

Great game! These survivor things aren't really my bag, but this is a nice version. I like that the skeletons dodge when they're hit, so you have to adjust your aim rather than just sit aiming at the same spot when there's a wave of them. It's also pretty tough, I couldn't even manage one upgrade! But as I say, not quite my thing. And bang on theme, all the elements in, so well done! Also, autofire is essential for these games, glad you got that a11y feature in.

Simple but still fun survivors like game!

Nice, tough game. Just a couple thoughts:

  • Maybe lower the difficulty curve in the beginning
  • Enemies can sometimes get stuck behind trees
  • Sometimes a bat can push a skeleton towards the player/TV
  • I didn’t know you can just hold down the LMB at first, but still adding auto fire would be nice.

Good job overall.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Also the bats pushing skeletons was kind of intended :)

This was a creative use of the TV theme. The pew pew sound was spot on.

The difficulty level of the game seemed too hard IMO, but maybe I'm just not used to this style of game. I never could afford any upgrades. Some music would have been nice.

You had a nice little game loop, well done!

Good job on your game.  I had fun playing it but only made it wave 3-4.  It might be nice to lower the threshold for the first upgrade because I didn't ever have enough for one.  Maybe I'm missing a mechanic, but I would have liked to see more of the game.

Really cool submission here! I had a hard time getting passed the second wave so I couldn't check out the awesome looking purchases but it plays good, fits the theme and implements some really cool looking upgrades / features! Well done!

Very nice game i really like the trick or treat mechanic!

Really fun and cute game. Love the little pings when you fire bullets.

Couple of bits of feedback would be to show damage to the tv when it's losing health? I'm not sure if it has more health than what the enemies took from it and it does in fact do this. Only other thing is I seemed to have an issue closing the upgrade menu, could just be isolated to me as I don't see other comments about it.

Really fun and cute game, well done!

I like the game. Got to the BOSS wave but realised that the bazooka is not as good as the rifle.

Nice game! I survived to 8 wave i really like trick or threat mechanic

I found the audio and graphics to be super cute! I always enjoy a good tower defense game. It does get challenging pretty quick. I've been getting stuck on wave 3.

Good job especially for free only and with 1 person. fun and easy to figure out. wish it had music and something to tie the TV into the world a bit more.
