I thought this jam was supposed to be comfy 😭. All jokes aside, the music and atmosphere was great, it's rather spooky only being able to see in front of you in a top-down view, and the cornman having his own music when he is close is a great touch, well done!

This was fun! Played the multiplayer mode with my friend. It's nice that the music warns the player if the corn man is close. I had some trouble finding the candies, so a hint or a cue might be good? Loved the opening splash screen too haha.

Split CafeI really like how the music changes when you are near the Cornman. But the main issue I have is the maze is too big and there's very limited view available, so it's hard to navigate around and find the candy. Maybe some sort of indicator that a candy is nearby?

Schrodinger's MooncakesWOOO~ That was fun!

Especially the multi-player! It's amazing that you were able to add that in the game jam. I really, really tried my best to find the candies in the corn maze but I only managed to get one and Cornman immediately appeared!
I like how use audio to help the player know that Cornman is nearby. Maybe you can also give a cue when you are near a candy? Like the candies make some sort of sound that you can follow. It's quite a big maze and I was thinking maybe you applied the Limitation by changing the maze and you don't notice it.
My favourite character was Chiffer! He's so cute ( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)

Tis Autumn LeavesThe music was as sssuuuuper super cool, I was boping my head on it all along xD
I played solo and maybe the main issue I got with your game wouldn’t be an issue at all in a multiplayer setting, but I felt like the maze was waaaaay too big, and it caused multiple problems:
I walked 10 minutes (at least) before I found my first candy
the enemy was super easy to avoid
it felt quite empty overal
impossible to notice changes in a space that big where everything look so similar :/
all of those would’ve been avoided with a small map, and the corn would’ve feel way more like a threat!
Now, I really enjoyed the art direction, it felt silly in the best way possible, and there is potential. Also I liked being able to choose my character even as a solo player! lastly, it was ambitious to make a multiplayer game in 2 week and I respect that 🫡

PotoleafPretty nice maze! I kept finding myself walking in circles. I really liked the change in music when the cornman comes for you. When I played the multiplayer game, I didn’t realize you had to take your candies back to your bag at first, but then I eventually got the hang of it. It’s really cool that you included 2 gamemodes!

Night Guard at Little MuseumVery cool having local multiplayer! And thanks for thinking of us friendless folks and giving us CPUs to play against lol. Seriously though, I'm glad I got to try the battle mode. It reminded me a lot of classic Bomberman, only with the added challenge of collecting and turning in candy. Had a lot of fun with that! The maze was pretty fun too, although that cornman sure made things difficult lol. Cool little game!

Werenaught Pumpkin StewFun submission for the autumn theme!
Sadly I couldn't test the multiplayer, but I added some points as it looks fun.
It took me surprisingly long to find my first candy but maybe that was skill issue probably :D

BlattformerIm sure it was not intentional, but for me it was a bit creepy the player view haha, sorry it gives such a uneasyness that i believe gives and extra experience while playing it, while i was turning around it got me a suprise the corn sneak up on me. had a lot of fun playing this!

Do Your Best, Anya!Extra points for a local coop! A bit rough, but the fun is there!

Pumkin LovestoryI find the game kinda funny. Good work.
In my gameplay the cornman got bugged and stucked to walls, but I was able to end the game anyways
Also, the vision is kinda OP. Being able to look through walls is very strong and I feel that it was okay to have it. I don't know if playing it with "regular vision" where the cone gets cut on walls and corners would've been better.
And the multiplayer addition is cool!
The only thing I felt weak in relationship with the jam was the limitation. I only saw 1 wood wall appearing from nowhere, but overall nothing seems to change when we can't see.
