Haha, nice. It turns out I didn't know anything about halloween :smile:

Super fun concept, avoiding the Fuzz was a thrill, and I nabbed up 300 pieces of candy (in the bowl) and over 2k just on the floor! Really fun idea, fun to play, easy to understand, and could be elaborated on easily! Thanks for the fun, and thanks for the submission!

Very well thought out concept! Fun and scoped. Would have liked the candy to all be possible to grab, and the door to not be so close to the edge of the window :)

I would have been nice to be able to slam the door in the kids face when the cop is coming. the voice bits are interesting.

Absolutely fucking hilarious. The voices are so weird and so oddly humorous. I can't believe we're stealing candy. Popo coming in for the candy thief. I agree it would be nice to be able to close the door when the kid is at the front door, but maybe that's part of the difficulty. This is such a guilty pleasure, good job.

Very fun! I mostly got candy on the floor, and wasn't able to get more than 10 in the bowl. Very good voices and very polished.

madbarron 2019-10-17 02:13

Fantastic! I had to put the window on the left side of my monitor to be able to close the door consistently. Sometimes it feels like there's not enough time to get rid of a kid before the cops come. But very creative, good graphics and audio work!

A super simple and fun little game. I really like the games visual style and the humour. Overall a pretty good jam game. Well done.

sillyman987 2019-10-17 10:50

So addicted!! Awesome game!!!

fabula-rasa 2019-10-18 10:00

Hilarious! It turns out I had this Halloween thing all wrong :wink: Would be nice if you would be able to pick up the candy you dropped on the floor somehow - think of it, so many candies just lying there being trampled by those pesky kids.

This game was really funny and had some adorable art. Awesome job!

sillyman987 2019-10-18 11:12

Oh man, click the kids 3 times and watch the candy waterfall!! LOL

This is one of the funniest games I have played this jam. Sometimes it felt like the police were unavoidable.

simun182 2019-10-18 18:50

I don't get the point of this game, but it's pretty hilarious.

nidjo123 2019-10-18 18:54

Simple and fun concept!

kaeveris 2019-10-18 19:20

This is very fun, I like the graphics a lot and the voices and great!

gabrielgamedev 2019-10-18 19:27

Great idea! Who never wanted to do that, right? You have kept the game scope well defined for game jam, this is very good. If you allow me only one complaint, I think it could have a slightly wider range of sounds. Very good game, I really liked the idea

lexyvil 2019-10-19 00:42

@dps2004 Thanks for the feedback! As for the police being unavoidable, I did made it easier to avoid them in version 1.1, where you can now close the door even if kids are in the way. The cops used to only arrest you when they saw a crying child.

nonigirl 2019-10-19 09:04

Hi there! Just tested your game (version 1.1). I really enjoyed the art style.. but.. it makes me so sad xD This is not a bad feedback! It's just my sensitive side :D also nice sounds of the children!

doodums 2019-10-19 11:00

I wasn't sure what to expect from reading the comments, but now I understand. This gave me a lot of good laughs.

jakobthequizguy 2019-10-19 14:30

Great game! As others have said, hilarious voices, I especially like the "what the heck?!" line. Not just humerous though, fun gameplay too. Good job!

samdwester 2019-10-20 04:15

Gave me a good laugh. I know what I'm doing for Halloween now. Nice Game!

itsdanidre 2019-10-20 05:19

Beat that!

Love the voice acting, though it sounds like South Park characters :rofl:

The police once caught me when I had 1 second left too :head_bandage: But alas, I survived! :smiley:

avon 2019-10-20 09:37

Fun little game, really like the voice acting and character art.

hiroboto 2019-10-20 16:19

Great game! But I think the color arrangement can be reviewed so as to make the graphics more realistic

gehad 2019-10-20 18:06

neat game , good job :D

asfdfdfd 2019-10-20 19:48

I always got arrrested :(

budaniel 2019-10-21 05:00

I wish I didn't get myself arrested so often (this *can't* be good for my personal record), but the funny voice overs kept me going even when the less-than-precise controls got be thrown behind bars again and again.

dongle 2019-10-21 18:40

This was really fun to play! It definitely gave me a chuckle. Great job!

pattedecanaard 2019-10-21 19:30

Ahah this is so fun and addictive (although a little repetitive), the art is cute and fun voice acting :p Good job!

oxysoft 2019-10-22 14:45

most fun I've had with a ludum gare yet

sorlok 2019-10-26 16:43

This game was a lot of fun, and had a great "learning" aspect to it. Apparently I've been doing Halloween wrong all these years. The mechanics were very well thought out (window to see the police car, lots of feedback, etc.). Looked great too!

alchemic 2019-10-28 08:11

Very cute graphics! Gameplay is simple but not too repetitive. I like being able to see out the window!

narudgi 2019-10-28 21:23

WhatIsHalloween_LprynQFWJZ.png Simple but very fun, it was so frustrating to not be able to take the candy on the ground haha Very good because I hate kids (^:

dodori 2019-10-29 14:57

Really fun and simple game, I like how they're oh so happy to get candy, and then their happy expression immediately changes once you steal theirs.

Awesome entry!

mad-brokli 2019-10-29 15:29

The sound fx are funny :P loved the game. MAKE EM CRY!

elysiagriffin 2019-10-30 02:19
