Trick and Treat? by killersnoofie

[raw]
made by killersnoofie for LD33 (JAM)
This is my mini game for Ludem Dare jam #33 and also my very first Ludem Dare
(I apologize for it not being a better game , but I restarted my game ideas 3 times, and made this game on the Last day of the jam , I wanted to enter the compo but had run out of time , Maybe Next Time!)

Aiden has an insatiable hunger, not for human flesh like most monsters, but for...candy! He just can't get enough of those tasty sweets. And today is Aiden's favorite day of the year: Halloween. Your job is to help our young friend collect as much candy as possible, by helping him hide, and letting him know when to jump out and scare the children, thus dropping their bags, and leaving all their candy to Aiden. Best hurry though: In 5 minutes, it will be the children's curfew, and there will be no more candy to be had.


Instructions
1.Use the enter key to hide behind tree
2.use the space bar to jump out and scare the children
3.avoid the parent as they take candy back
4. you have 5 minutes to get the most candy
5. enjoy my game !!!

The game has personal graphics and music fits the game very well, but it felt like I didn't understand everything about the gameplay mechanics...

By walking to the edge I managed to fall down some, and then just got stuck earning ~800 candy per minute.

Nice graphics and mood, but theres not much to the game itself.

Art style was cool and I liked the voice over story at the beginning :) Pressing Enter or Space didn't seem to do anything so I'm not sure if that didn't get implemented or not.

A little simplistic, but still a decent time waster.

Wow, these kids are fast. :) I liked the intro screen and the graphics. The music is also good.

fun idea and nice art and good mood. I felt the gameplay was very repetetive. Hiding behind the tree and waiting for one kid after the other was missing a challenge and quickly felt like work.

Good idea. Nice music choice. Relaxing and funny.

Creepy music, and creepy beginning narrative, so excellent job on those! Not sure if this was a bug or something, but sometimes I wouldn't be allowed to hide behind the tree right away after scaring a child.

I really liked the art and music. The gameplay was a little too simple though.

Those children can really run fast :D
Also the timer went negative i think. Duno if it's on purpose ..

I love the art style. The mechanics are simple, but the game gets a little repetitive.

This looks amazing, and the idea's great. Not a lot to the gameplay, but as you made it on the final day it's still really polished.

I just love the fact you made your intro with voice acting. The gameplay unfortunately is a bit hard, I would like some instruction beforehand regarding commands. The graphics are simply cute, one of the cutest ones in all of this Ludum, and I love the idea of a monster in Halloween eating candies of kids. In fact Halloween is something I would expect more in an event based on monsters. Great creativity and inspiration, looking forward for the next time when you manage to go Compo!
