How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
Candy Curfew is an adventure game built in GB Studio for the Gameboy Color.
Our plot centers around a young hero who trick or treating on their own for the first time. Not only is Halloween spooky by nature, but so are the concepts of newfound responsibility and looming time constraints.
What sort of adventures will you have before the clock strikes 8pm?
We appreciate it. No plans to sell a physical cartridge, but one of our designers did create this cute mock-up of what it might look like.
Feel free to create your own if you happen to own a cartridge flasher. The GBC ROM is available for free download on the page!
Thanks! We had actually tried a few different pallets to see what was most decipherable visually and luckily the high contrast Halloween pallet was also very accessible in that regard.
That's a pretty solid score for a first run through! We definitely spent a while discussing how we could make the town feel lively and tried to pull from our own trick or treating experiences growing up. Please note that none of us were abducted by aliens thankfully.
I personally cannot take credit for the art but will certainly extend the complement to the team!
HOWEVER, I can take credit for the dialogue. Getting told I'm kinda funny is better than any 5-star rating we can receive.
