This is a really good idea. Was the vampire the only costome?

Developer

Thank you! No, this submitted version has 3 costumes (try talk to the guard at the bottom of the city to get one and a tip for the other one).

I made a plenty more costumes and characters to populate the city, but had some problems and left no time to put all the planned content on the game... :-(

Submitted

oh, I read the game was not finished so I though that was it. I'll give it another go. Or maybe wait for a post compo version

neat entry, and the idea to use character customization as game mechanic is really cool! sad to read you couldn't finish the game, but you still did a good job :)

Did you also plan to include a house that uses two different costume parts (since you can use different top and bottom pieces)?

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Absolutely! I've planned some combinations to be the key to get some special candies, while the most weird combinations only gives funny comments and no candies.

I'm thinking of creating a separate, more complete new version after the voting period. But leaving this version fixed here as the final result of this game jam...

This a was a fun idea and really enjoyed the art for the costumes.

Developer

Thank you! I made many more costumes and characters to populate the city, but sadly couldn't put them on the game at time... :-(

Very cute game :^)

My suggestion is to let the user know when something is interactable. I wasn't sure what or who I could talk to. Ended up only finding 3 candies, and no other houses said anything 馃

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, this is a good suggestion. All houses were supposed to be interactable, but due to the time limit, I wasn't able to update the game with the content I had planned.

In fact, there were many more houses, characters and costumes (some are in the cover art, for example) already designed and planned, but my wife got sick the day before the deadline and I ended up having less time than expected to complete the game... but she is fine now. :-)

Try talking to the same houses with different costumes. The idea is that the normal sweets would be given to anyone at the door, but the special ones, only for those wearing their favorite costume.

The story was very cute. I found the first 5 candies, but got stuck on the 6th. Are you suppose to be able to leave the town eventually?

Developer

Thank you! Well, as there is no specific order to get the candies, so I'm not sure which one you missed. If you're talking about the last one on the list ("hazelnut chocolate bar"), try talking to the houses with different costumes. Unfortunately due to the time limit, only 3 houses are active... :-(

Yes, you must try to get out of town to get what you need to get "Mint Candy".

Submitted

Okay. I will definitely try again when I get as many of the other games that will load for me judged.
