AI tools used (or “None”)
Claude for code, ChatGPT for logo

How I built it / process notes
My process is I write out the workflow of the game, what I think the game loop is, collect the assets I think I will be needing for the game including audio. Currently working in Godot 4.7.2 stable. Then I work with Claude Cowork to build the systems of the game piece by piece, fine tuning and adjusting along the way. Then I use Blender to create additional props needed for the atmosphere. Then I utilize Claude to help me with efficiency pass and optimization for clean up. I normally wouldnt do this, id make it myself but because it seemed like AI was encouraged, I used ChatGPT to help me with the logo as well.

How does your game use the theme?
Its a Trick or Treat game!

Fun premise, and the sack slowing you down as it fills is a nice greed trade-off (the 98% Speed pop after the first doorbell sells it). The How to Play page is clear too.


One input bug, reproduced 3 of 3 times on your live page at 1366x768, and again on the newer build that's up tonight: if you're holding a move key and the browser focus leaves the game (I clicked the itch page beside the frame) and you let go there, the game never sees the release. The kid keeps walking with nothing pressed: once straight down the open street for 4+ seconds, once into a parked truck where he stayed pinned. Clicking back into the game doesn't stop him; one tap of the same key does. Since the sack fill and snatchers punish wasted time, that one can cost a run. Releasing the move actions on focus loss (NOTIFICATION_APPLICATION_FOCUS_OUT in Godot) should fix it.


Small one: the itch jam badge column sits over the top-right of the frame at 1366x768; fullscreen avoids it.
