Fun game, picking up candy with E was a little hit and miss in some places. Also when I had some good multipliers, the mansion at the top would make the game lag a bit when it was launching candy. Had fun, good entry!

Great art and music! A super interesting take on the theme and the month of the year! haha. Great job! Really liked it, music is mesmerizing

Fun time hitting ghosts. Grabbing candy was a bit tough and was sometimes stuck just out of reach. Nice entry.

Fun theme. Really cohesive. Automatic pick up or a wider pick-up field on "E" might have been less frustrating.

I really enjoyed this style of artwork. Felt almost like the whole thing was made with construction paper

nice animation and music, the text is funny and interesting ... it seems the skeleton only strikes when a enemy is touching ... wow i am really digging this music

i see some problems with the collisions as sometimes the skeleton is like over the houses like this

Fun atmosphere! Unfortunately the interactable range of things was a bit hard to judge on the whole. Sometimes doors, candies and ghosts would not trigger when I was right on top of them, and then would trigger when I thought I was out of range. With a little tweaking it'll be great!

Fun game, the menus are really well drawn, love the art style there, and the text has got a funny tone to it :). As a suggestion, in order to solve the interacting problem, I'd probably make the candies automatically picked up in a certain radius, and make fighting possible all the time, not just when a ghost is in range. After that, a bit more tweaking of the walking colliders, and you've got yourself a small gem! Awesome work :)

Cool game with a really neat atmosphere. Great art style and music (main track is great, but I'm always a sucker for a cheesy store tune!). Powerups are a really fun way of keeping things interesting while being funny seeing your skeleton change. Great job!

It's nice and fun. Had some problems with collecting candies that was falling outside the path, but overall nice game. Good job!

sounds, spooky atmosphere and unlockable content (which increases replayability drastically) are the most appealing parts to me. it's getting very fun after some upgrades (especially skates :laughing:)

as a feedback a few things I could say that are controls could be a bit more smoother over paths especially and candies come out from houses could be randomized to not abuse the top left one, and create reaction on the player that it hit jackpot. I think also that it would be nice that be able to go over all the ground even on the grass and the ghosts could be covering grass to make shortcuts challenging :)

anyways, very well implemented store and unlockable system with replayability covers all of these small issues smoothly and it's really rare to see that much content and polish, well done!

The rpg feeling of this game was great even with the short amount of content. This is probably because everything gives you a MASSIVE power boost which is really satisfying, especially the skates. Some of the effects as also extremely fun to watch like the mansion at the top just blasting you with candy. I've played other halloween games including Costume Quest but I really loved your approach to this.

This is a little frustrating when you cannot grab the candy because there is an invisible way in your way... You know what I mean? Anyway I like graphics very much. And the music also is great!
