Black Licorice is fed up with being the only unsweet candy in the land. It's time those racists knew what it was like to be bitter all the time.

Not bad, not bad. It took me a while to understand how to play, but once I got it, I got it. I don't feel the villainy here, but the humor factor makes up for it. Those racist candies.

Bashing the candies is too hard ( they escape too quick) and distracts from getting far. Love the whole idea.

I really liked this one. I understood how being the black licorice was a villain, cause that is some nasty stuff XDD Humor was great, and the sounds were good. Plus the inclusion of the grayed out "Challenge" makes me wonder where you'll take this game.

Fun gameplay, good work. Love the MGS Alert sound!

OP to pickle out some confusion.
@blackmagic after they see you, you can't catch 'em
@halemaster Challenge mode is unlockable! You've got to beat the game.
Thanks all for the feedback.

it's okay. yet another stealth game, just with a kooky candy twist. the visuals are the best part -- they're cute, consistent, and very distinct.

also, licorice salty? really?

salty licorice? Are you by any chance Dutch ;)

haha, 'look at them', funny. I think this was a pretty unusual villain, which is good.
I didn't get to beat the game. I was a bit tired after playing som many games.

Liked the twist of villains, licorice is never ever sweet. Funny, charming, and just, fun~

I like that game! Great mood too.
The only point that annoys me is that the background is a bit distracting, but that's not a big issue.

Good humor :D

Really enjoyed it!
Cute art, exceptional music!
I found it a bit difficult though...
Don't forget to include your source!

We didn't include source because it wasn't required for the jam. But if you'd like to see the resources I'd be happy to post them!
