Candy Collector by Nikos
It's finally october 31st! You set out to collect as much candy as possible, but you must do so before midnight.
Mouse - Move, Space - Collect Candy


PS: The music uses the melody of "This is Halloween" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". This was done intentionally in order to invoke a sense of nostalgia, and definetely not because I can't come up with anything better.
PS PS: No, this game has absolutely no relation to the theme. Yes, I completely ignored it.

The pointer to tell you where to go is great and I liked that some things disappeared in the moon.
Talking about the broom, the gameplay felt awesome. The sound design was great, it was already mentioned above but yeah, the whoosh when moving around on the broom, that made it feel really good to try and fly around at high speeds. Also the bonking when hitting the walls. So yeah, really enjoyed making my way around collecting the candy. The marker was a good idea too, it especially helped with some of the more hidden houses, they were a good addition.
There is also nice attention to little details, my favorite was pushing the little pumpkin lanterns off cliffs. All in all a very good entry, great job!
Adding enviormental sfx would add to the spooky atmosphere. (Noises of the night.)
