How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
You play as a ghost (spooky) and it's the night of halloween, you're trick-or-treating. There's also a "fog"/darkness around the player, making the enemies hard to predict, and you can scream at children to scare them :)

The palette was neat! The art style of the houses and the spooky version of the ghost look really nice. Good job! My highscore was really low tho, around 25 :P

At around 20 candy the kids do get really agressive, so 25 aint so bad. Thanks for playing! :D

Got 43 candies at the end. These envious brats knocked me twice, but that just made me greedy for more sugar! :D

Had a lot of fun playing it. The background music is captivating, and I loved the chosen color palette! Good job!
