Candy Quest by Lautaro Q

[raw]
made by Lautaro Q for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

It's Halloween night. You're on your way to a party when a witch steals all your candy, and no candy means no party. Lucky for you, there are some tiny candy-like creatures that are willing to help you out and not miss the coolest party in the neighbourhood.

We're a group of students at Image Campus in Argentina (www.imagecampus.edu.ar). Hope you like our game!

Nice intro and scene transitions, I liked the windscape as I entered the graveyard and I found the intro cutscene charming. The dialogue is VERY well written, I found the little eyeball demon charming too, and the reasoning for intro mission to get past gorilla guard sound. I was shocked when the kid started digging up graves. Great submission!

Great game! The music, graphics and dialogue are on point. The gameplay felt a bit slow for my taste (I wish the character could move faster) but overall it's an amazing entry.

Fun game that felt complete - a lot of content was made in a short amount of time, and definitely immersive! I would have liked a bit more variety in quests, even if simple such as having to do things in an order or some black boxes. Overall a great entry!

The visuals in your game are really striking. The art style works well with the overall tone, and I can see a lot of effort was put into the design

The art style in your game is absolutely adorable and fits the Halloween vibe perfectly! 🎃 I loved the attention to detail, especially in the visuals and dialogue, which really added to the overall charm. The atmosphere is both cute and spooky, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Great job on creating something so polished in such a short amount of time! :))

Very well put together game with adorable art and great audio design. Writing is great too. I couldn't find the last bear, and I scoured the areas multiple times, so unfortunately was not able to continue. (spoiler: Found one in playground, behind house and in a crypt)

I would like to praise the artists for the work done! I worked with RPG Maker and I can imagine how much they tried and they did it very well! Well, and a little criticism - I am very unhappy with the decision to put a blue bear on a blue background covered by a blue tree. Finding this bear was even more unpleasant than opening 20 graves. But otherwise, great job!

A really nice and cute game! I love all the art and dialogues are awesome, tho maybe make player usual speed as fast as their running speed rn and speed up the running speed even more? cause i held shift for my whole playthrough lol
also i couldnt find all the gunny friendos, so sadly did nit get into the party :'(
Overall i really like it and with some tweaks it would be really really good!

I got stuck when trying to enter the party after collecting everything.

The art and _vibe_ was absolutely amazing, the quests could maybe have been a bit more inspiring (now everything is just collect x)

Really beautiful. The game opened in a small window on my PC though and I couldn't find a way to full screen it.

Super cute game! I liked the characters a lot, very wholesome entry! The only thing I would change is to maybe create some kind of distinction between the interactable things and the background. Good job!

Why the fullscreen button is locked :( it's so hard to get invested in a tiny square something in the middle of my screen. Even if pixels would be my palm size, i'd still prefered it to be fullscreen...
A nice use of halloween theme. I can't say it was particularly fun to play though, mostly, I think, because of the controls, and all these "there's nothing in this grave" lines that kept appearing, required another click and didn't bring anything useful. But in general, also, can't give much in innovation for "find items" kind of gameplay.
Nice art work though, kudos for having so many artists and yet having them on the same page.

A cute little game with a big atmosphere. The music is well done, and the graphics fit perfectly. The game feels complete, which is a great achievement during a jam. Finding the last gummy bear was especially difficult, but I did it!!!

the fourth gummy bear is behind the tree in the village (blue colour)

I was holding the shift key the whole time; try to tune the character movement a bit more. Other than that, pretty cool entry. Some of the tasks the creatures make you do are quite annoying & feel like a waste of time, but I think the narrative kept me there until the end. The grave digging animation needs to be faster for example. Nice music and graphics! Overall, great job guys, keep it up!

This was a solid time with an RPG like game. I dig the art style of the candy monsters. Very creative use of the theme.

Also, great extra by using Halloween as part of your game's theme as well. That's a great combination!

Very cute art! And a lot of good content for such a short amount of time!~ My only comment is the graveyard audio could be better, and the verity of quests could be more interesting- but otherwise flying colours all around! Well done!!

Absolutely loved the charming art style and witty dialogue! The game captured the Halloween vibe perfectly, and the little eyeball demon was a delightful touch. The only thing I'd tweak is the character's movement speed—it felt a bit slow at times. Overall, a fantastic submission with a lot of heart!

That was reaaaally nice ! I had fun playing it. Took me some time to realize there were different "maps".
Love the visuals :smiley:

Great game! :D It has very charming art, and the vibes are great, a spooky game for a spooky month :)
A run button is a great addition! Wish there was an option for full screen(if there was, I couldn't find one), another thing that would be great to see is some flavor dialogue for various objects in the world.
