Love your sprite work and the lighting from the lamps. The ghoul's walk animation is adorable.
That pesky kid in the graveyard kept undoing my hard work. He's a real jerk.
Echoing the other comments regarding the art, very impressive!
The art is extremely good! The controls and collisions feel a bit clunky, especially since the mechanics are a bit hard to guess. You should add a sound or a visual effect once a task is complete.
Oh, and excellent pun for the game name. :]
really pretty game! a little frustrating to have to deal with the guy and the mechanics don't feel very easy to understand but the game itself feels nice to play and the graphics are really really well done, great job
Thank you for playing. Sadly we weren't really finish it like we wanted to in time so it feels a bit aimless/frustrating right now, but we're working on that. Thank you for appreciating the graphics :)
gorgeous game! loved the entire vibe and all the color palettes were lovely! i got a lil bug where i kept picking up the bike/ scaring the kid and at one point after picking the bike up again, it was no longer in my hands but i was still in the carrying animation and the bike just kinda flew to the kid. it was cool.
Yeah, I made a mistake shortly before uploading that resulted in the npc reacting to the bike (they were meant to ignore it), which resulted in a lot of issues... oopsie :D
But thank you for playing and for the kind words anyway!
Lovely art style and gameplay, I wish there was some feedback for when you complete a task on your list. Looking forward to see more content! Solid entry, congrats!!
Really fun game with nice style, music and animations. Found myself once going full to black textures D: Great idea with potential, congrats.
I liked it. It was fun. Nice animations, music theme and sfx.
This is great! The starting area really reminded me of when I started playing Untitled Goose Game years ago :')
I really like the graphics and soundtrack! Good work!
Thank you! Yes, I tried to recreate the starting area of Untitled Goose Game and even made broken bicycle sprite specifically for it, so thank you for noticing :D
A really great idea! The art and music are fantastic and I can really see the potential! With more tasks and proper feedback for completing the tasks it will be amazing.
Thank you for playing and for the kind words. Proper task feedback was something I tried to cram in (literally) last second, but the build finished like a minute after the deadline :D
I really enjoyed the graphics ! I'm not sure what I was supposed to spell at the end however :p
Yeah getting the correct phrase is a bit hard right now as there's no feedback at all... It is indeed Halloween and candy related (without containing the word candy)
Awesome entry, the art and music were so charming. Loved the color filter swap option as well!
Really like the art. When I made it to the graveyard I spelled "CANDY RICK" and hoped it would summon my friend, Candy Rick.
Thank you very much! Seems like your friend appeared after all..
Love it! I wish there were more areas to explore and people to scare.
Also apparently I don't know how to spell. I did try "TREE", but that didn't check it off the list. What am I supposed to spell out? :D
Thank you for playing! Yes there was/is lots more content planned and we're hope to release an expanded and more fleshed out version for Halloween.
As for the spelling: I totally missed that tree would be something valid to spell. I don't want to spoil it here just in case someone reads the comments first, but I'll have to rename the task to something like "Spell out a 12 letter phrase" and additionally to the hints in the game potentially add the hint "Halloween"
Conceptually I appreciate this game very much! Though I felt like there was no progression for fulfilling the tasks yet? Either way, I was still entertained by the ghoul getting scared into becoming a ghost and going out of bounds.
Nice art style, well animated, I like the detail with the ghoul sprite lighting up under the streetlight.
Thank you for playing and for the nice feedback. Yes, it's still pretty rough around the edges and missing lots of content, but I'm happy that the concept seems to work :)
Solid effort! I actually featured your game in my livestream review:
Thank you for playing! It's still a bit rough around the edges and missing some content. Watched your video and you immediately stumbled upon a bug as the NPC isn't supposed to be reacting to the bike (and subsequently walk through the wall :D).
Also thank you for your nice words about the music. This was actually my first time ever creating music, so it's awesome to get some positive feedback.
