I liked the story of the game, especially when there was no candyman, so it adds a realistic side in the game.
However, I think that the story could be more developped, especially on the kids' feelings side (their fear of Candyman haha), with maybe a kind of "Hide and Seek" or something else (maybe they run for their lives, "Candyman" chased the kids and then, when trapped, the truth is revealed?)
But the story is a good one, a bit short but funny.
Short and sweet game about kids in the woods. I didn't run into any bugs in the V4 update, just some mapping issues. I liked the subtle use of the theme.
Ahah, it was short and had some bugs, but I liked the story, *SPOILERS* kinda disappointed there was no candyman though, it would have been funny. :3 But yeah the storytelling was really well done imo !
Thanks for trying the game! I wish I could have had a bit more time to add an epilogue or something showing Candyman lurking around the camp for real.
Not sure what I was supposed to do in this. I suspect something is broken.
Where did you get stuck? I'm about to post an update that makes some map fixes and gets rid of a repeating event, but it's still no good if it's not intuative.
And thanks for giving it a try anyway! :)
I played your game, the story seems very interesting but there are too many bugs. In the first map, there are unfinished trees and the event to leave the map at the left is hidden on the grass so it's not really clear. When the 1st character has been attacked by bees, we can controll the 2nd but when we drive him to the same place, he is also attacked by bees and we can't continue. Your game was starting well with a really good story but as I said, there are too many bugs x)
Thanks for trying the game and for the bug reports! Hopefully those'll be easy to fix in an update.
