I made absolutely everything brand new for this jam entirely by myself with the exception of environmental art assets specifically from Pizza Doggy asset packs. Everything else was hand made and learned for this jam! It is my greatest accomplishment

Hey Brian, remember the time we were out trick or treating and we met weird neighbors? Freakin' sweet!

I love that dancing mummy that (sometimes) gives you candy! How do I get more than 5 candy though? This has the potential to be something really cool!

Developer(+1)

Really pay attention to the clues, there's currently a bug in the game where if you pick incorrectly enough times they'll freeze at the door or attack you. Make sure you read the texts your mom gave you to know who's safe and who's not!

I love it.

Pretty cool! I like the trick or treat concept and not knowing what will be behind the next door. I could see perhaps having more regular people and people in costumes behind the doors. Which ones are monsters!? Who knows!? 

Submitted(+1)

Very nice concept, got 8 candy. The crooked man dancing made me nervous, the breathing sound got stuck on 2nd playthrough but still a very good game. 

Developer(+1)

Lol yeah, a few really strange bugs made it through to the final version. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I almost didn't add the cracked doll character, I thought it was too cheesy! But people pushed me to add it!

Submitted(+1)

Really loved the aesthetic of this game- conceptually, I really love the idea of being a trick or treater (and the potential danger therein). It was a little simple, but you have so much room to expand on this! There are some fantastic bones here!

SOME PUNK GRABBED ME! I nearly had a heart attack. 10/10 would heart attack again.

Developer(+1)

10/10 would grab again

I really really loved this game, amazing job on the asset creation, level design, sound design, there's a lot of great stuff here. I really like the premise of the game too, its just a few simple rules but it was fun trying different doors and seeing who/what opened, great job

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! I tried my best to keep the rules simple so that when they overlapped you'd have yourself second guessing all your decisions, unfortunately I didn't have time to get the rest of the candy mechanic in as it adds a whole new layer of "can I trust this house?" as some houses give you poisoned candy when you get it wrong!

Very cool style! But the game crashed several times, probably because of my Yandex browser.

Developer (1 edit)

Please excuse me when I ask, your what browser??? 😂

Submitted(+1)

Yandex - This is a Russian browser =) https://ya.ru/

It's a simple but good game.

I managed to double-click the doorbell or knock and ring it simultaneously, and the resident stood in the doorway without going hom

Developer(+1)

Lol I didn't know that was possible! Thanks for enjoying the game!

Submitted(+1)

Fun concept! Could easily see it expanded with multiples places to treat or tricks

“It” took my candy, though D:

Developer

No! Not your candy! Stolen too soon!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, I enjoyed the phone feature!

Submitted(+1)

Let's just say that i kinda feel violated by some people that opened the door. But sounds are nice, only thing that could be done better i think is the design around the houses, since for me they all look kinda the same and its difficult to see who is infected, untill you open the door.

Developer(+1)

That was actually the main goal, the tension should be going up to the door to know if they're safe or not, the danger lies INSIDE the house rather than giving clues outside

Submitted(+1)

This is pretty cute and does get tense in parts when you're not sure if they are infected, also there seems to be a bunch of towns with 'gooner' in the name haha. Head bob is a little too intense which is funny cause picking up the trash lids is so smooth, phone interface is cool but I think it might be more intuitive if it activates with escape like a pause menu instead of tab, would be cool to have a game on there ;‑). Bugs I noticed: struggling sound continues to play after you dies/reset, can't side step up stairs you can only go up when moving forward. I got a high score of 10 so far, I assume the game is endless?

Developer

it was escape but I changed it specifically for the web build since esc is also how you exit full-screen! The game is endless! With a whole buncha spooks and scares to find! Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted(+1)

really intresting beginning! the audio of the walking always felt like i was trailing behind myself, which freaked me out a couple times because i thought i was being followed. id like to see more models at the different residents homes you go to. neat game!

Developer(+1)

I would LOVE to make more neighbours and houses! I am not a 3D modeler however and making these 3 took up a sad amount of time 😂
