The simplicity of the gameplay loop combined with some light competition really does have you going \"just one more game, I can do better next time\".\n\nOne thing that I would have liked to see would have been collision between the two vans. Being able to push the opponent out of the way to grab some candy would have led to some great moments.\n\nOverall, pretty solid work, great job!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1043452,"author_name":"Monogatari","author_uid":"monogatari","epoch":1713274453,"text":"This a fun little game !

You made a very slick package in a short time! I appreciate the low poly look, it's a great route to go and reminded me of a PS1 game. Loved the clean UI elements and having some volume sliders on the title screen. Simple yet fun loop was another solid decision for a game jam. Overall polish was excellent and the van controlled pretty good. Only note I can think of is that the candy hit boxes were a bit slim, considering the perspective and everything going on it could probably be more generous. The summoning theme didn't quite land for me but I kinda get it :] Overall it was a triumph though, congrats!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld55\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/plopy86.itch.io\/candyman-vs-megacops","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"93080","g_author":"1280758","g_event":"LD55","g_eventkey":"120","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"439248","g_title":"CANDYMAN VS MEGACOPS","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"421","g_commentcount":"26","g_site2_node_id":"384284","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"384284","n_urlkey":"439248","n_parent":"383062","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/candyman-vs-megacops","n_slug":"candyman-vs-megacops","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"280758","n_created":"1712303995","n_modified":"1778914095","n_version":"1217353","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD55","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":280758,"body":"[![LudumThumbnailWide.png](\/\/\/raw\/6b8\/44\/z\/625f3.png)](https:\/\/plopy86.itch.io\/candyman-vs-megacops)\n ________________________________________________________________\n:candy: :lollipop: :candy: :lollipop: :candy: :lollipop: :candy: :lollipop: :candy: :lollipop:\n\n**You have got quite the reputation in this city, and both the police and your opponents want to put an end to you sugar rush !**\n\n**Drift around the park, be the fastest to pick the candies and summon powerful children who will help you put these impostors in jail, for you are the one and only CANDYMAN**\n\n:candy: :lollipop: :candy: :lollipop: :candy: :lollipop: :candy: :lollipop: :candy: :lollipop:\n \n \n \n \nUse WASD\/ZQSD to move and SPACE to use your candy.\n\nIn local multiplayer mode use ARROWS to move and RIGHT CTRL to use your candy.\n \n \n ________________________________________________________________\n\n ________________________________________________________________\n \n\n*\u2022 Music Credits: Woop Woop -
