Changelog in the latest build (http://www.wyattcheng.com/games/CandyKnocker/)
- Gave the game a nicer logo
- Moved over the text on the start screen so it didn't look like a bug and surrounded the starting area with bushes to direct the player towards the sidewalk.

This game is so much fun! I just wish I could store candy between years like maybe a quarter of it or something, because I kept getting 80 every year and having nothing to spend it on.

This game brings back a love for a game called Costume Quest, and yours has all the adorable nostalgia.

I really like this interpretation of the theme, something other than "be the bad guy". very cool.

Very nice, a little bit of music would have set the mood.

Awesome! Personal best - 227 candy in one round. Using the firecrackers is alot of fun!

The "candy" sound is really loud when you return back to the house. Other than that, cute take on the theme!

While the concept is very original and sounds fun on paper, in reality the lack of danger makes the process of collecting candies pretty boring.

Graphics are cute and add to the mood. Upgrades are pretty fun, but nothing crazy. I wish there was some value in eating candies instead of trading them (stats increase?). The candy stashing sound is weird, loud and scary. The game lacks any kind of music, which is a shame.

Overall, I think this idea has a LOT of potential and I would love to see it developed into a full-blown game someday.

I feel like I needed some extra elements in the game, but it was really good anyway. Loved the size of the stage, it made me try to find better houses in every corner. Good job!

Great interpretation of the theme. The game mechanics are well executed too for just 48 hours.

IT'S SO CREATIVE! The way you made game design was genius! Very well balanced! And the isntruction in game counts a lot to the game fun. Congrats, nice project with a big potencial!

Cool game with a great take on the theme. I love that it's a monster in a monster costume.
