I love Halloween and everything about it so I thought the was a super cute game.  Great aesthetic, very spoopy.  Really fun and clever use of the game jam theme/ focus.  The idea of giving compliments and saying nice things to your enemy to gain back HP was a nice touch!  I wish candy revived me like that in real life lol.

My suggestions:
- Have a button to autofill text in conversations so you can fill in text when you're a fast reader/ skip through if you've already read it. (I got stuck in a convo I already had - woops!)
- Extend the text box to include your character portraits :)
- Add a "How to Play" section.
- Add some music!  :) 

All in all awesome job making this in a week!  Keep up the good work!

I just loved talk my way over and loved the art style!

the player could have a little more contrast against the background, but it is just a little polishing to be made.

Good Job!!

I was having a great time, and then I got stuck in a tree after having a lovely conversation with a skeleton in a hat. Still, I enjoyed the aimless wandering I'd been doing for ten minutes before that, and I think this is something you definitely need to keep working on, because it's got a lot of potential and a very pleasing aesthetic.

I absolutely loved the visuals, the vibe, and the cute characters, it almost feels like you're not just collecting items from each of the characters, but also friends if you choose to befriend them instead of fighting

The dialogue system was certainly very charming, very fitting for the cute style of the characters and the charming art

I'd really love to see a fully realized version of this game with more refined art in the same style

the only real serious issue I have is the bug that causes you to be unable to progress past Skellytony

I really enjoyed the look and vibe of the game! This is a very charming game, though it definitely needs a bit of polish for the charm to shine through. Some audio would go a long way and I ran into a collision bug as well that ended the game for me. I would love to see what else you can do! And I love the talking system by the way which I actually think has Undertale beat in its interactivity. Great job!

Wow some definite undertale vibes! Makes me really happy to see love the style you went for. The art is creative :) Also I can't input multiple keys and do 8 directional movement. I know sometimes this can boost hspeed/vspeed but there are some good ways on how to achieve it in game maker ;) Keep it up!

It would be great if you could check my submission also! :)

Good game, it gives an Undertale feels Haha. Just a little issue with the hitboxes cause I'm hitting invisible walls. Still, it's a good game :)

I'd be happy if you give a rate and a feedback on my game too :)

Ooooh, Undertale vibes! I like it!

After dealing with skelletony, I got stuck when coming out of the combat screen and couldn't move anymore :/

Thanks for playing our little game, Undertale was a big influence for us. Sorry about the bug there, we couldn't iron out all of them before submission, thanks for tell us though we're fixing it now, we'll update it after the jam.
