This is the Downloadable version of Death by Candy

Oh no! Jigsaw has taken you far away where there are no houses to give you Candy on Haloween! You can't survive without candy on Haloween, it would kill you!

Luckily the Ghosts, Vampires, and Bats have salvaged some, but can you get it from them?

Create a costume!

~125 possible combinations!

Then defeat all the mini game in order to unlock the final boss lvl

Diferent games:

The Park- The bats have candy, use the pumpkin shooting cannon some one cowincidentally left out to get it from them. But be carefull, u only have so much ammo. Use the up and Down keys to adjust the cannon.

The Graveyard-click on the Vampires when they come out of their holes to cut their heads off and get the candy! Carefull, don't let too many get away.

The Bar-This looks familiar... Get the candy from the ghosts! Use the arrow keys to move.

BOSS lvl- Arrow keys to move, space to shoot.
Don't want to spoil the surprise, but I can tellyou one thing. Hit him when He's angry!

Enjoy!

THIS GAME IS FOR THE HALOWEEN CONTEST!!!

I'll start with the positives:

Good variety of minigames to play
Innovative character creation tool
I like that the dialog at the start has a sense of humour
Nice use of the map, so when a person gets stuck on one mini-game they can go and play another

On the minus side:

I found The Park to be very frustrating, as running out of ammo requires you to start the entire minigame again, rather than restarting the level you've just reached.

I found The Bar to be frustrating too. Due to the misaligned grid my character would stop dead for no visible reason (obviously my character was colliding with a misaligned circle), then I'd get eaten by a ghost. This could be fixed by using 'snap to grid' feature to fix the alignment and removing the fine detection check box on the circles.

I wasn't impressed with the use of Jigsaw. It's important when developing games to ensure the content is either original or free, otherwise its copyright infringement. Why not come up with your own bad guy, instead of 'borrowing' from a popular movie franchise?

I found the game to be quite dark/sinister, and I think the theme of 'happy halloween' was overlooked.

Still, a good effort.
