Hrmph. Needs more math problems. :-P

No, this was great, I had fun! 107 candy score.

I'll have to remember to put some algebra questions in my next game! :)

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The concept was cute before I realized that each house is its own minigames! Loved the Twine-game-within-a-Twine-game and the sheer amount of depth put into it. :)

As a non-USA-ian, it’s nice to get the Halloween experience, even if second hand :) Some of the customs have spread over here, but it’s not the same — we still carve turnips some of the time, and celebrate Samhain up the hill.

Answering US-candy quizzes is also hard :D

I'm glad I could give a taste of the American Halloween experience! Thanks for playing my game!

Really charming and nicely put together! You had me at "game within a game themed around my chosen costume" 😂

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! The "game within a game" was one of my favorite parts to write.

"Costumes and Candy" is a Twine game which recreates the real joys and terrors of Halloween for a child with nostalgic authenticity. I scored 93 on the candy meter. If you role play as a good kid, and avoid backtracking you'll probably win also. If you've ever trick or treated as a kid, you already know how to avoid backtracking.

Thanks for playing my game! I'm wondering what about the save system gave you trouble. I used the built-in save system in Sugarcube.

I've done some trouble shooting. The save error turned out to be a local issue, which I repaired by clearing all my cookies from itch.io. I've edited my original comment.
