The Great Halloween Candy Adventure
It's Halloween... The broken TV set is crackling with the ethereal energy of spirits in your haunted house... You're also almost out of candy. Time to use the energy to scare trick-or-treaters out of their candy! You need at least 365 candy... 1 piece of candy per day till next Halloween...
Instructions:
- Each trick-or-treater has a 'scare range'.
- You have to choose one or multiple scares which give a value falling in this range
- If you get a value below this, they will steal your candy. If you go above this, they will be too scared to give you anything.. so choose thoughtfully!
- Each scare costs energy which is recharged by the TV spirit after every round
- All kids also have some preferences for scary things.. you get bonus candy for scaring them with those items!
- Earn 365 candy before Halloween ends!
Controls:
Use the mouse to select/ unselect checkboxes in the right panel and click 'Scare' button when the trick-or-treaters reach your door.
Developed in 10 days for the GameDevTV Halloween Jam with the image theme of a TV set and optional theme of "A helpful features that turns against you"

That was delightful!
I really liked the art style, the music and all the delightfully juicy sound effects! And the gameplay was very fun, I liked combining different scares to fit the tastes of visitors and not overscare them.
Thank you for the game, it was really fun to play!
Thanks for playing, we're glad you enjoyed :)
Highly recommend this game to be played along with children during the spooky season, this is a perfect way to practice arithmetic and everyone will have a great time!
If you don’t have children yet - give it a try anyway, there is a very small chance I will end the game without having a smile on your face!
Thanks a lot:)
Amazing introduction. At first, I was a bit confused, but once I understood how to play, I had a lot of fun. Great job!
Thanks for playing! 🙂
