Trick or Treat is an adorable halloween themed bullet hell, with a fun twist on "consequences" where enemy death locations allow for the player to make decisions on spooky this-or-that questions.

The soundtrack was spooky cute and whimsy, with a fitting track for the boss fight.

I think my major issue was with aiming. I wish it didn't correspond with movement keys, so that it was easier to attack enemies.

The bat, skeleton, and giant slime had bullet patterns, but I would like to see that challenged more to be more fun.

Overall, it was certainly a treat to play. Well done.

Having the terrain act as a decision making mechanism is a clever idea!

Cool way to approach where to kill enemies

Thanks for playing the game!

Some of those are clarity issues I would have liked to have fixed, but the flipped sprite is intentional as each choice that fills the bar changes the game in some way, either doing something silly or giving you a powerup generally.
Unsure about the velocity change, there is a bonus that improves move speed and one for fire speed as well.
The Skeleton bones continuing to fire was a choice but still not sure if I like them better having them stick around or be destroyed.
Originally the enemies were supposed to be color coded to the drops but with time crunch was not able to get that implemented.

I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback, and thanks again for playing!

I really like the concept of moving the enemies to choose the consequence. Great Job!
