Fun little game. I wasn't quite sure what stirring the bag actually did, does it push bad treats up/down? Also, I thought the frog was the jump scare, so when the actual jump scare happened it made me chuckle.

Correct.  Stirring affects the chances of tricks in different ways,  Glad you enjoyed it.

despite the warning the jumpscare genuinely got me !!! LOL

this one's really good — gambling really is the biggest "trick or treat" of 'em all, and the super hammed-up scream when you draw something bad from the pot is really funny. granted that is totally how i'd react if i fished an eyeball out from amidst my reeses pieces and kit kats

Thank you for the kind words.  Glad you enjoyed it and got a kick out of the scare

Cool concept! Love the theming and I can for some reason vividly imagine some house just accidentally giving you a live frog instead of candy. Frog/10

Thank you so much

Cool concept! Packs a lot of punch. Nice work.

ps: at one point I ended up with “-1 treats left” in a house and it kept going so eventually I chose exit.

Thanks for the nice words.  Yeah I'll fix that once Jam is over.  Joys of last minute game balancing during a Jam

One of my most (least) favourite things in the world! The most horrible deadline.
