How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
Candy Curfew is an adventure game built in GB Studio for the Gameboy Color.
Our plot centers around a young hero who trick or treating on their own for the first time. Not only is Halloween spooky by nature, but so are the concepts of newfound responsibility and looming time constraints.
What sort of adventures will you have before the clock strikes 8pm?

Really fun game! I enjoyed all of the little trading sequences in this one, I really felt the time pressure of doing as much as I could! I managed 36 on my first playthrough.
Only way this could've been improved is a bump in the graphics/audio departments. Everything was fine otherwise!
This was really fun! What a spooky game to play to get in the Halloween spirit!
This was such a cute, and charming game!! I loved it ☺️
Thank goodness nothing happened when you're run over by the car hahahaha timing is my biggest enemy
Thank you for the game ☺️
Gotta love silly little stories. They sell a LOT better if the in-universe characters take the story seriously. You did well with this submission!
Love the dialogue in this one! definitely what hooked me at the start. The little minigames/puzzles along the way are also great.
Love the start and ending art! The music also bops. Really fun idea! I got stole a lot of candy and didn't get caught once 😈
That is a cute one. I loved it!
Is there a way to open the church door?
There is not. One of the things that ended up being out of scope with the time we had.
My favourite one in the Jam so far.
I have many games to try yet, but this is the first one I give perfect score in all categories
Nice jokes, I really had a good time playing this and searching for more and more candys! Great job!
You hear the horse’s butt muffle approval.
how do i get to the horse? XD good game man n_n got 21 candies :P
The horse is in the trailer park, and once you speak with them I recommend going to explore the woods by your house.
the woods ehre the first place i went XD i left with 6 candies from there, btw niche avatar picture n_n
really neat feeling game, very nice puzzles, very charming. great job!
I dunno why, but I somehow get more of an 80s micro (C64, Spectrum, MSX) vibe from this one rather than game boy, even though it's literally a GBC game lol
Cute game idea btw!
It's likely because we chose a 1-bit-ish art style. A lot of our team had never done a game jam before, and we selected a fairly ambitious number of assets to create to fulfil our concept. This helped us ensure we'd get everything done in time.
I liked it! There were some interesting ways to get candy besides just knocking on doors, it was pretty neat! I think I got 36.
That was quite charming! Simple, but proficient, with great writing to back it up. Great work!
Great graphics style for use on the GBC, really nice. I should try it on hardware to see what it looks like! A fun game!
I have not yet flashed it to one of my cartridges, but we're planning to make a few copies for the team who worked on it, so I'm excited to try it out on my physical GBC as well.
i got 28 pieces of candy and i am rolling around going "oughh my tummy" because i ate it all too fast
goofing around aside, this was a really fun game with lots of little things to discover -- i will def come back to it! i don't have any sort of helpful comments but i will say, the hardest and scariest part was the car mini game T_T i am glad our hero wasn't harmed despite all my attempts.
I have also been felled by eating too much candy before, so I can relate.
I am quite proud of my 28 pieces of candy! I didn't have time to cross the road with my newly acquired ID unfortunately, but all the more reason to play again. This game has a lot of character, charming dialogue and feels complete and polished. Fantastic entry!
This was a lot of fun!! Loved the characters especially the horse :D Sadly I didn't manage to cross the street on time - but I'll try again!
The color palette was a great fit and made it easy to understand what you should interact with 👍
