Absolutely love the hamburger kid and the happy monster with a happy little pentagram on his forehead. The music and sound were also spot on.
I felt like the puzzles might have been more fun/challenging if there were a candy limit per level. But still, I played to the end and had a lot of fun, and was mildly disappointed when I ran out of levels.
But the game itself, when compared to its graphics and audio, felt somewhat plain and too simple... Maybe that's because there's really only one kind of enemy... I don't know...
Everything was awesome. The music set the mood and gave it a spooky but silly vibe. The graphics are incredibly cute. The was going to explode from adorableness. I loved how fluffy everything was, how much detail was put into the animation, such as the bounce in their steps, eye brow raises. And the mechanic was just as cute as well. Wonderful game! Thank you so much for making this!
Really nice mechanics, really nice graphics, really nice audio, really nice everything. The level design is great, the learning curve slowly grows in difficulty, that's great. I came across 2 bugs during the game: one when the devil would just walk left at random and one when the burgerbaby would be stuck in a block on the way to the candy. Really great game either way.
Now this is a very well polished game; the graphics and audio are definitely at the level of a commercial game. The gameplay was as others said a little repetitive. My guess here is that the game let you solve most levels with a much simpler solution than intended. For example, for zig-zag, you could just lure the kid across to the left and immediately eat him. The zig zag would have been more interesting and probably more fun, but by giving the player a tool that draws the target directly to their spot, it makes forcing a more interesting solution very difficult. I also thing the flashlight's effect was too lenient and as a result, I could just run through the obstacles rather than lure the target from safe spots.
Also, for the record, 134 Candy used, 15:36 end time.
Sorry it's late and I hit the submit button a little early. I just wanted to add, that this is a great game in need of a few tweaks, but more so than anything else I've played thus far this could be turned into a real commercial product if you were so inclined. I did enjoy it and sorry if I sounded too critical at first. I'm just a bit tired and should have gone to bet a while back, but got into playing your game instead.
@dalbinblue I actually completely agree with all your points and totally wish the game was less easy to brute force. We went through a lot iterations that watered down some of elements we ended up on, but we're still happy with how it turned out. We're actually thinking of finishing it up for Halloween since it's coming up. Thanks for the feedback though, and don't feel bad about your honesty, we really appreciate it!
