I saw the controls and basic info at the start, which was great! But once I got into the game, I wasn’t totally sure what my goal was or what I was supposed to do. Maybe a bit more in-game guidance or feedback could help players understand the objective more clearly.

okay game but the timer was a bit too short to count

I liked the look and feel and the sound you used plus the voice were great. I played the web version. It seems like if you get it wrong the first time then it drops it in again you just put in the number it told you it was to get it correct. So its a little 'cheat' I suppose. If you maybe gave a score based on how close a person got to the correct number over 5 rounds that might give more variability for a ranking etc. Just a thought. Overall great work!

The sounds & graphics are pretty nice, but the best part of the game is the breakdancing skeleton! 💀

Good game! I’m really bad at guessing the number of candies, I started counting, but there wasn’t enough time!

awesome game! i appreciate the simplicity of the concept , but the execution is exceptional. The art and the music and sounds give justice to the gameplay, i like the breakdancing skeletons too , overall I enjoyed playing this one, nice one to play in a chill party with friends. Congratulations! keep it up!

This was an interesting idea. The sound and music were good. The deep announcer voice was a nice creepy touch. Felt like I was at a carnival.

First game I got 0 right, second game I got 5 right, but my score was only 4/5. Also when you guess right it doesn't give you an exact count.

Solid game.

It certainly looks and sounds very good. Not a personal fan of the game play look but that's personal preference.

Did I just miss it or the TV visual theme not included deliberately?

This game is frustrating and feels like the counting is off.  I've seen the smaller piles be a large number and visa versa.  Also, sometimes the candy lands outside of the lantern, you'll want to put an invisable wall to stop that.


You may want to have some difficulty options to where you can work up to higher numbers because right now it feels really unfair.


That said though, the game looks and sounds nice, the audio feedback of the candy landing in the jar is nice too, and the music choice is nice.  It's just the game feels really unfair.

Ah, I just thought of a good suggestion that would help with the count feeling off.  If you could have it that after you guess, it counts up the candy, that might be more pleasing for the player and feel more fair because it's proving it to you, long as candy doesn't magically appear out of nowhere lol

Okay this one was funny and fun. It was a little hard but I could just be bad. The break dancing dudes were awesome!

Developer

Thanks! Haha yes could be a bit easier

Submitted

Awesome job man, really dig the sound design and the dance party in the background! Goodluck !

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Fun game! Best I got was a 2/5, and I'm surprised I even got the two. You definitely do start to get a feel for the amount of candies present.

Really liked the overall visual style. Whatever shader/screen effect you used fits really well with the overall vibe!

Well done!

Developer

Thanks alot!

Intersting, first time I heard of this issue. Could you elaborate? Like you cannot type in and submit a number?
