While it was short, it was very fun, lol! I just went berserk at those enemies (like I usually do, lol). And also the houses disappearing when you collect the candy from them is interesting. Adds to the spooky vibe, I guess. Only issue was that I didn't know how to close the game, xD, but it was still great overall!

Great game! The graphics are RAD. I loved the spherical effect (shader?) and the particles (smoke especially), as well as the general feel of the game. I feel the player moves a little bit slow. I see this being developed into a casual bullet hell game. Keep working on updates, special items, more monsters etc. Congrats!
I'm not sure why exactly, but the game's visuals, I would guess, are the primary source of the game's lag. It looks alright, but at what cost, ya' know? This looks like a Unity project; if so, it shouldn't be so much different to export this as a downloadable executable, which I'd recommend doing so that we can properly playtest your project! :)
Btw, the visuals are certainly the lag. Despite not re-drawing anything, there are a ton of new graphical enhancements. The fog, the death smoke from the enemies, the pumpkin guts splatter and the small smoke effect from the pumpkin guts blaster add quite a bit of graphics card consumption. Also, the map is a live camera of all the houses, so it's rendering practically the same thing twice! Nevermind all the post-processing...yeah, I was in a bit of a rush to get it done cause I started on the second to last day (Well, I started at night), so I might have overlooked a few (by few, I mean a LOT) of areas to optimize.
I really like the music and the visuals, but the lag on the input is way too big (at least for me).
Would be nice if you also post a version to download, because on browser it runs not smooth (at least for me)
Nice! The grafics are really cool, also a really good theme. I like this halloween style. Music and Sounds are also good, especially the music, which fitts perfect to the game. Well done!
Won :) personally I found that's the second part fo the music works better (more spooky) , the intro with the guitar feels like a different track, but both are well done anyway (And maybe I'd better shut up as I only made a few short loops in Bosca Ceoil for my game :) ) It would be cool to have a few different enemies/waves. And I feel the arts not so cohesive the graveyard and enemies are very cool I think you should use the same kind of art for the player and shots. hope this can help.
