wow this is cool, lot of style, hitboxes are a lil suspect though
Very fun. Once I got tons and tons of friends I could just sit in place and be invincible.
It's fun running around with a huge gang of trick-or-treaters. It does get a little laggy though. Fun idea.
Action-packed top-down Halloween beat-em-up.
The gameplay is pretty fast and gets very intense very quickly after you pick up a couple of friends along the way. I easily had my entire elementary school running around with me and felt near invincible as a result, but also couldn't really tell where my main character was or what was happening around them.
I like the different player character costumes having different specials that all felt unique and having an upgrade station to use collected candy gave candy more value than just a score mechanic so that was a nice touch.
The audio is nice with some pretty cool music and sound effects that are appropriate but don't overpower the gameplay.
The damage/attack screen shake feedback was cool, but got a little fatiguing to watch after a playing for a few minutes so it could probably be toned down just for the sake of jarring players less as they get further into play sessions.
Overall it feels pretty cool, but I'd recommend trying things like limiting the player party to only the 4 unique characters and allies to pick up would only spawn if you were missing someone from the party (similar to Left-4-Dead respawning systems). That'd keep the number of kids swarming around the player to a more manageable number as well as provide a bit more tension for losing as the party possibly dwindles down to the last character or two in more intense combat situations.
Yo this is very cool! It's fun to use the varied character abilities. I only wish there wasn't a delay before you could use a new character you swapped into, makes it a bit hard to be strategic. The spritework is great and the movement and abilities feel nice and smooth. Awesome work!
Cool game! Really fun idea. There is just one really tiny problem with the rotation of the baseball bat.
The art and SFX are cool too.
Cool idea and really good character sprites. The descriptions says you can trade candy for better weapons, but I couldn't figure out where or how to do that. Also, the performance takes a huge hit when you have too many characters in your group. It reaches a point where it becomes near impossible to play.
Thanks for the feedback! If you ever feel up to giving it another shot, the shop is right below the starting point. It's only open during the day though, and we definitely could have done better showing the player how it works. Nevertheless, we are super thankful you took the time to play our game!
I love this game! I think this one was one of my favorites! All the characters are very cute and recognizable, but the music and game play are also great! I'd love to see an expanded version of this!
We are ecstatic that you enjoyed our game. Thank you so much for the kind words.
