Funny game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/PWHzHVXDNtQ

Now I know why dogs are barking for no reasons

Loved it really good ludum dare game. Managed to make me smile the whole time playing especially when I figured out the dogs were gonna be hunting me down. Halloween games are always great, but building the costume was a great idea. Having the enemies be upset dogs is also a super creative take on enemy design. Voxel art and ambient noise were both great especially the skeleton and pumpkin art. Although seeing what you can do with voxel art made me a little disappointed the ghost wasn't a voxel art ghost. I would've loved to see like a couple more halloween decorations but 48 hours is 48 hours and the content in the game is top quality for the time frame. Really enjoyed playing this, you should be proud of making a great experience (just give me more voxel art pls)!

Can someone PLEASE make a Skyrim mod based on this game. Super fun.

Super clever concept and polished game! All that just for trick-or-treat, that is so adorable.

Fun game! The idea is great and it plays good. The voxel art looks really nice. Good job.

Cool game ! Maybe you can just add scary music and humoristic music ;) shoot01.png

Great Game! Love the art style and the concept just a bit too easy in my opinion.

Really cute game. It's fun, and it has a nice look too. It would have been cool if the neighbourhood had some variation.

I love this game, it's so cute! Reminds me of candy skeletons. The graphics are super nice. Maybe could have used some spooky music, but still had nice atmosphere.

Cute, lots of fun dodging the doggies! Bad dog, don't take my skull!

smileyface 2019-10-10 05:47

heyyyy our games are pretty similar, nice. Also I think this was a really short and sweet fun little game.

mrerdalural 2019-10-10 06:33

hahahaha! This is cute and creepy at the same time! I loved the voxel art. Thank you for the game! I enjoyed it a lot!

Oh man, first I thought you wanted me to kill the dogs and take their bones, I’m glad that is not the case haha. But I do wonder what the dogs have been up to in order to have acess to human skulls :smile:

Very impressive art for a comp entry, everything felt nice and coherent, great entry :thumbsup:

Silly and fun, only takes a couple of minutes to play. It's really cute. Good use of theme.

elmos-minion 2019-10-12 16:52

3D voxel art is always fun! The game is short but the concept is really interesting, I'd look forward to a longer post-LD game maybe

candlesan 2019-10-12 17:35

Cute. great little animations and effects.

Sometimes when I picked up a bone a little rib cage or other bone would fall to the ground that I couldn't interact with. I wasnt' able to figure out what to do with those but it didn't seem to hold up my progress.

mahalis 2019-10-12 18:32

@candlesan Thanks! That happens when you dig up a bone that you already have. Loose bones will distract the dogs from you, and you can also pick them up if you end up losing one of that type of bone.

candlesan 2019-10-12 23:06

@mahalis Ah okay gotcha! Thanks for the response!

mikeliosus 2019-10-13 13:36

Hey! It's a really nice entry!

Quite original.

If it would have a little bit more content and more variable gameplay it would be an interesting prototype for a full game.

Art is well polished!

Great job! :3

mrstari 2019-10-13 20:53

great job here - was funny to play :)

oneki 2019-10-15 08:17

Got lucky on my first run, by getting all the bones in a perfect order. Second run though got 5 skulls and only one chest. Liked the I guess randomly generated chanllenge it brought. The way each dog went and burried a stolen bone back was great.

Humour wise you didn't get enough out of the creepy suburbs, where absolutely everyone has human bones burried on their lawn.

Dang, sorry, I downloaded and tried to play, but couldn't get past this error:

Because I was unable to play, I won't rate.

jonasz999 2019-10-26 20:22

Very simple & nice game, really enjoyed playing it! :smiley:

I liked the idea of dogs stealing parts of your costume when you get to close to them :wink:

sleepystudios 2019-10-26 22:46

There's actually a decent amount of depth here. Nice work. Liked the atmosphere too.

dans17 2019-10-27 02:44

Nice game! I really liked the concept but felt like it was too short. It would be cool if there was an added challenge of getting as much candy as possible by going to many different houses instead of just one.
