Loved the whole vibe of this game. the title screen was sick, I lowkey thought I was getting hacked when I clicked one of the links on it. also the models were great. Well done!

I really liked the vibe, but the gameplay is not for me and I didn't really see the limitation used. But cool game!

Yes, my little army of trick-or-treaters grows, bwuhahah! 

Loved the knockoff candy names. At first I was like, "Wait, it's Swedish Fish, right?" XD. I had fun going around recruiting more kids and seeing what they could bring to the group. The art and world design are really charming too. I really liked the little globe effect while walking around, and the PC-like interface was a fun detail. Really neat take on trick-or-treating!

The art, sound and visuals were amazing. Very underated entry, however I did not see where the limitation was. Did different kids spawn when you looked away? Anywho, a very solid attempt!

An interactive tutorial might make the mechanics easier to understand, but I ultimately ended up finding the right candies to recruit the best kids for the team. The audiovisual aspects were a nice touch, and I especially liked how the game looks while walking around the map. A fun take on gamifying trick-or-treating!

Thank you! And ya a better tutorial would've gone a long way, we just ran out of time hahaha. I'll make sure to let our musician know!

This game has a surprising amount of depth for a two week jam, and it's fun to run around recruiting kids to your gang. I found the systems to be overwhelming to get a grip on and so the early experience was somewhat stressful. The background music is iconic.

Developer

Hahaha, yaaa, I always struggle with making games easy to pick up. If you have any questions though I'd be happy to answer! And yes, we had a great musician!

Nice modeling and art! I like that the mouse icon is candy corn haha.

Thank you so much! Yea I thought that was the most fitting for a halloween-y game :D

Art and world design here are top-notch and perfect for autumn! I really liked the curved effect y'all used for rendering the world—how big is the town by the way? It seemed to stretch on forever in every direction. The game concept is great, and I sense that y'all have made a game with quite a bit of depth from the couple of runs I did (my highest scoring run was 26!). I liked that different starting characters made for different experiences. I found that recruiting tended to hurt me more than help in my runs, and I feel like I maybe didn't have enough knowledge to really know what was worth trading for with the other kids (presumably to maximize my recruiting?)

Developer

Thank you! I'll make sure to tell the artists! The world is moderately large, but what makes it feel infinite is that it wraps so you could walk forever in one direction. You might notice it if you look closely because I ran out of time to make the npcs visually wrap properly hahaha. Recruiting can be tricky, but the trick is that you find people who want candy that doesn't contribute to your combo (top of inventory) so you can spend candy that would give you less score at the end, plus encounters get harder periodically and if you don't do well enough in encounters you get filler inventory items that also mean you can get less score at the end. Trading is another way to try and get candy specifically for your combo (the combo gives a multiplier for each of the candy pairings you have at the end)

I really realle love the grapihcs, the game feels and looks super nice. I really enjoy walking around the map/globe. Although i'm not smart enough to figure out the combos, and interacting/recruit mechanism, i still think it's a really cool game!

Developer

Hahaha, ya I tend to overcomplicate systems sometimes and I ran out of time to make a good tutorial. I'll make sure to tell the artists you liked the visuals!

I got a toothbrush!! what!?
Cool game, I like the graphics and little globe world
