Nice game! I thought the blue ball was an obstacle, turn out it wasn't xD

Developer

Oh no only the flashing red bones are obstacles but fair I didn't specify that the orbs are the power-ups , thanks for playing :))

Submitted

Ahh the powerup makes you invincible so you can destroy the bones. Nice! I think you should add a boundary area for how far the pumpkin can move to the sides of the screen because I could move the pumpkin completely off the screen to the left. Maybe some repeating tiles along the edge with a boundary would make sure you stayed within the bounds of the screen. Nice animations on the pumpkin too! Fun!

First of all thanks for trying it out im sorry you had some issues it sounds kinda weird to me cause i made it so you get teleported to the other side when you go to far to the side.

what is your screen resolution and did you play in full screen ? 

Submitted

Playing on 1920x1080 on my 16:9 monitor not in fullscreen mode, in windowed mode and I was able to just move all the way left off screen.

Developer

Oh I see well technically it's allowed but you won't earn points if you stay "hidden" so I think that is fair plus if you go more to the side you appear on the other side (retro game teleport vibe), but thanks for the feedback appreciate it

I like the vfx, but I don't really get which ones I should avoid vs the ones I should take.

Probably should start a lot slower in the beginning, but overall it's a cute game!

Developer

Hi well candy eating pumpkin.. so you kinda got the question anwsered, the bones even flash red to indicate warning and all my playtesters had no issues with that.. but if I had more time I would have made a tutorial just couldnt use all the time I had cause of uni I started this year.. anyways thanks for the review and hope you had fun playing it :D

Nice game, art is good, the effects are great, I can really feel each candy crushing into the pumpkin's mouth :P. Cool powerup and animations, great job!

What a nice little game! My highscore was 2901 but I actually played a bunch of times because I think you really are leaning towards addictive gameplay with the mechanics and the simple powerup. If you were interested, I could see how you could expand this with different power ups maybe changing the speed in which the candies move (slower, faster) or one that turns all bones into candy.

Anyways, I love the art and the gameplay is solid!  And provides for perfect replayability. I agree with others here saying there is a very nice level of polish on this. One thing that I can say is that it wasn't super clear that those little blue orbs were candy for me to pick up but it only took me 1 second to figure out! Fantastic game! Well done

Thanks so much for playing the game, well with uni I will see if I can expand the game or more like when I can, and thanks for the ideas tbh the invincibility powerup used to slow down candies but it made the gameplay kinda boring imo so last minute I changed it to just a simple i-frame but these are solid ideas thanks :D

Fun little game! The effects were a nice addition to the gameplay!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the comment :))

Good polish, good gameplay, and while similar to many other games still fun! the gameplay gets boring after a little, but how well this is made and the rush you get from playing helps keep it interesting

Developer

Yep I admit it can get a little boring but I tried to make it super enjoyable and random so there is a way of infinite replayability, Thanks for trying it out :D
