It's finally october 31st! You set out to collect as much candy as possible, but you must do so before midnight.

Mouse - Move, Space - Collect Candy


PS: The music uses the melody of "This is Halloween" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". This was done intentionally in order to invoke a sense of nostalgia, and definetely not because I can't come up with anything better.

PS PS: No, this game has absolutely no relation to the theme. Yes, I completely ignored it.

You had me as soon as I saw this was about candy! I love the mood and flying around on the broom! I definitely have some concussions from walls though :)

The pointer to tell you where to go is great and I liked that some things disappeared in the moon.

interesting game, though it was hard to get used to the broom at first, but them i figured out how to just flip stop and it worked out

I love the overall feel of this game. The broom feels weird at first, but becomes very visceral feeling once you get used to it. The spinning animation after hitting a wall is great. My favorite part though is probably the wooshing sound effect of the broom!

Nice game, too bad you werent able to incorporate the theme into this one.

Collected all the candy, no dentist can stop a determined person, or at least a determined person on a flying broom.

Talking about the broom, the gameplay felt awesome. The sound design was great, it was already mentioned above but yeah, the whoosh when moving around on the broom, that made it feel really good to try and fly around at high speeds. Also the bonking when hitting the walls. So yeah, really enjoyed making my way around collecting the candy. The marker was a good idea too, it especially helped with some of the more hidden houses, they were a good addition.

There is also nice attention to little details, my favorite was pushing the little pumpkin lanterns off cliffs. All in all a very good entry, great job!

As others mention, the broom is a bit confusing at first, but the more you fly around, the more you learn about the controls. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing as it can give the player the feel of progression, the overall game was pretty straight forward. I managed to hit a wall pretty hard which had me think that was the end of my journey, but a very fun game!

A liked how the graphic is consistent!
Adding enviormental sfx would add to the spooky atmosphere. (Noises of the night.)

Very fun game! I am absoultly in love with the sound effects! I spent too long just switching directions and hearing the engine change pitch! Very fun gameplay, although some places are a bit too cramped. Good Job!

I like that the broom sounded like some kind of engine revving as it sped up, it was funny when I ran into stuff and I started tumbling everywhere too. Good halloween themed project!

great graphics, however I feel like if you found a way to incorporate this project with the theme this would have been a perfect ludum dare game :)

Really fun game, didn't really fit the theme, but the paper cut style graphics were very cute

Nice graphics! The music sounds appropriate, the theme is spot on... Wait, the theme wasn't halloween? :) For me, the controls were a little too sensitive, but presumably witches brooms aren't easy to control in real life either, so that might be accurate.
