I LOVE this idea!! Tower defence where you set up not traps that actually damage the enemy, but that scares the enemy away! Good job! 
However I think there are a few things I'd like to point to.
1. There's no damage indication. When a bunch of kids passes by a trap they receive a fraction of damage, maybe even only one of them is being damaged at a time. Understanding how the damage system works would help the player place traps more effectively.
2. I feel like there's not enough coins dropping from kids for player to efficiently update their traps. It's apparent in level 3 where no matter what your setup is you're gonna miss a few kids. 
3. I couldn't figure out how to pickup and rearrange/sell existing traps. If it's not possible - this limits player's possibilities to learn and to adapt to the game. 
4. Though it might be because of time constraints, there's only one map. This game just BEGS for at least a few maps.

In any case I find this a solid entry. Great work!!

I like the idea of a tower defense like this. I would like to explore more the mechanics. I have all the items available to buy at the beginning, maybe somethig to teach me how to use each of them, or different effects. 


I got an error, I was close to Halloween, and when I press M to skip to halloween I couldn´t remove the modal because it was already halloween. So I couldn´t see what was happening haha


I restarted and it works. I like the idea and the GB souls is there, very good sprites btw! Congrats!

I loved the idea and had a lot of fun with this! Really nice way to fit the theme, one of the best adaptations I've seen so far.

THIS IS SUCH A CREATIVE IDEA

I loved playing this! The music made me laugh every time Halloween rolled around, and seeing a crowd of kids get spooked all at once and drop ~$400 on the ground was hilarious. That's a healthy side-business by the end, making so much money per year!

The scariest part of the game, though, is how you don't put the decorations away for the entire year - you just add more!

Very very solid tower defense! Had a lot of fun, there's a lot of creative stuff happening in the backend. Would love to see the moral system fleshed out more

I absolutely love this concept!! Fantastic interpretation of theme imo. Like others said I'd love to see a full version of this game with more polish like animations, selling mechanic, and more 'enemies', but overall well done!

Cool tower defence like game with it's own unique spin, can see how this could become fully fledged game with it's simple yet satisfying game mechanics. I filled my garden with pumpkins at the start which seems to be an OP strat, but i was a bit disappointed that I couldn't sell and replace them. I feel the game would really come to life if the objects had a simple animation when an enemy walked past. But it still feels very complete in it's current form :) I couldn't die (guess I'm just a pro gamer, xd) so idk if it would tell me what level I got to but the 20k coins I stole from the children was enough to give me a sense of achievement :)

This is a fun and visually appealing tower defense game with a twist: you can still scare the kids on their way out, causing them to drop their candy. It makes group scares even more interesting! A group of kids is about to escape, and then one gets scared, making them all run and drop their candy—so satisfying 😈. The game matches the theme perfectly. The controls took a little time to learn, but you get used to them quickly. I loved watching it come together on your Twitch stream, and I’m excited for your next game jam project!
