Amazing pixel art!! I really enjoyed the perspective change when you open the door for trick-or-treaters! Music was nice, art was good, very polished, and cool limitation use. Overall, a very nice and cute experience.
So cute!! All the pixel art was SO adorable - the attention to detail is amazing! Great game and while it is a bit short, everything that is there was done so well (: great job!!
Very impressed with the first person pov CGs and the costumes are super cute! I wish there's button to hide the dialog box so we can appreciate the pixel art better â—•â©Šâ—•
SUPER CUTE GAME!! I loved how the styles looked between the simple and cutesy search part and the more rendered out CGs. I was very impressed by the art from the trick-or-treat scenes, but I wished that the same kind of rendered finish was applied to the party scene too just to keep the consistency. All the character designs were extremely fun and adorable, and I enjoyed the short and sweet gameplay! Great work!
I think the theme and limitation is extremely coherent with your trick or treating game.
Normally I would dislike a lot of words, especially for a tutorial, but the writing was so fun that I was happy to go right through and read it. As I read I imagined the Stanly Parable narrator reading much of it.
Blown away but the pixel art! Amazing job its really well made and has a really cozy autumn feeling :)
Amazing artwork! The movement was tricky; I always bumped into the wall. The characters were great; I hope Lydia pets her cat despite the cat's mischievous antics.
Love the art!!!! The game was quite short but gosh was it amazing! It was quite cozy and I loved seeing the trick or treaters variety of costumes!
The art is so so cute!! I love topdown rpg-like games so it really tickled my bone! The characters were extremely charming to see too! Good job on the designs !! The limitation was built very well too!!
Very cute pixel art. Pretty cool that the cat changes positions whenever time passes after dialogue, which is an indicator that I've looked away from the scene for some time. I've reached the end after going to the party with Gerald, very cool stuff.
Wow the pixel art in both the main game and the character-at-the-door moments is SO incredible!!! Really good use of the palette. There's also such fun writing throughout the game and the characters are delightful!
Lovely art style - I like that kind of fisheye 1st person perspective of the doorway, and it was also fun seeing the different personalities of the trick or treaters! Though it would not have been my first choice in music to accompany this game, it definitely adds something deep and contemplative to the overall experience - I'm curious to know what inspired the choice in music for this game?
Thank you!! Yes, the composer did wonderfully!! The music in this game was going for similar vibes as the YouTube short called, "Missing Halloween!"
Okay, I see now what elements they borrowed from that and how they diverged to create something original. It was a clever choice to score the main character's more "disillusioned, lonely adult" perspective rather than the more typical "spooky, Halloween vibe" that would have been more representative of the kids' perspectives. My compliments to the composer!
Awesome and cute game, beatiful art and fun mechanics!
a relaxing game full of charm and spooky whimsy!! I love the sprite and illustration art, and seeing the cat above the fridge filled me with an indescribable feeling of joy. ^^
loved this game! great art, great story, great characters and it was funny
well done!
Really cozy game and as a cat owner I felt this haha!
Love how the tutorial was build aswell! The art was adoreble and the alien made me laugh! Well done!!
