Love it, so polished and the art is SO GOOD. Plus it's a fun game with a fun mechanic.
The game had a good concept and had an incredible amount of polish, I did find it a little repetitive though.
Overall, I loved the game. Criticisms? None. Sorry, I can't give any good feedback. No issues that I could find, thus its a win for me. Thanks!
I love everything about this game. Tremendous job. Congratulations.
Cool idea and really sweet art style, enjoyed having controller support too
good entry great work perfect graphics 5/5 and audio is nice also
Great job, as always Wefiends! The game was incredibly polished and the art and music were superb
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.
Amazing polish! The art was really great!
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...
The cutest little hamburger and a tiny little devil and oh my god this is so cute.
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.
Wow, that's a decent amount of levels. I love the art style! Had lots of fun. Great job with this. :D
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!

Very cute and adorable, though a bit long and repetitive. Would have been better with fewer but longer levels.
Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
The framerate drops at about 666 bazillion candies

Great presentation, especially in regards to explaining the concept and tying it into the gameplay!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Amazing entry, so much polish in so little time - great job! :D
