The idea for this game can be credited to my wonderful wife Brandi <3 and her love for spooky frights on Halloween nights!
Things I learned:
It is important to develop a fun prototype with good game design early on before you work on graphics, music, etc. Mechanics come from exploration with prototyping, so don't save that for the end when you are out of time! Also I need to have someone else playtest early and often to dial in difficulty and design assumptions. Overall proud of what I built and learned more about unity 2D workflow and pixel art!
