Costume Party

Loved the aesthetics and the animations. Super polished given the constraints. I wish there were some more unique mechanics though. Either way great work.

The art of this game is so fun. I love the aesthetic. The filter you have on it is so perfect and not too much that I find it distracting or headache inducing. Gives a really nice warm halloween feeling. The music also pairs with this perfectly. Awesome and spooky! I just really love the art and animations. It's so polished and distinct. Really can't overstate how warm and welcoming and just plain fun the art/animations are. I really love it. Controls also felt nice and I liked finding new power ups.

The art is great, especially the backgrounds, and the music as well. Nice Halloween atmosphere! There's a good amount of content for a jam game and it was very entertaining even for a novice gamer. Great job!

As the gm48 king of metroidvanias, nice job!

I can see where the time restantins really hit you hard. Missing sprites for breakable walls, the wall jump having too much horizontal speed but almost no vertical.

That all being said, the amount of cool things you stuffed in here is great, and I was pretty impressed.

Also you used a lot of the code you made for the gm48 resources page didn’t you lol

This is so cool! Having the collectibles be full new costumes is so overkill for a jam game :D
Like Tydecon Games, the lack of polish in certains aspects is weird, but mainly because most of the game is that impressive.
I just wish there was a way to keep exploring after finding grandma, because I think I missed a zone in the center of the map. (I then tried loading a save from the start of the game, and it crashed 😬)

Had a lovely halloween with Grandma :)

Nice job! I really like how you did the animations, that's a pretty creative way to do something like that! Also like how you incorporated the "discovery" theme in a metroidvania style. The costumes were quite funny too! Overall pretty good game!

Wow! Incredible that this was done in such a short time, it looks and sounds amazing. I love Halloween and this definitely gave me some good vibes!

The idea of changing costumes was a lot of fun. Hope to see more of your games in the future!

A really comprehensive metroidvania including unlocked abilities and costumes. It's honestly very impressive what you achieved with multiple enemy types, characters with dialogue, an expansive map and a nice range of animations that felt really nice. It's perfect for the spooky season and wish the theme of the jam was more like that. You should be really happy with that output.

I thought it looked visually pretty good (did you put together a whole skeleton system in a game jam?) but wasn't sure how much it actually fit the discovery theme aside from being a metroidvania. I liked the characters a lot, though.

This was a really fun entry and I'm impressed with the game-pad support and the different areas and places to explore. I find the pixel art beautiful though I find it odd that there's so much effort in some areas and then the breakable wall and bullets were just solid orange blocks? I don't know if the time limit prevented some further brushing up on the art in some areas.
I found the platforming floaty with a little lag in the shooting, though I imagine that's by design and it did add a little challenge to the whole experience, which I enjoyed. And the costumes idea is great fun, especially sticking with the halloween theme! And the spine animations are quirky and fun.
Overall, this is a great entry and I enjoyed playing! :)

There was a lot of fun stuff here! It was really well put together overall and a solid platformer for 48 hours. LIke some others have mentioned, I found the wall jumping to be a bit awkward, but overall I thought it was all pretty polished. The moving platforms especially looked really cool, I thought. I did think it would have been nice if the candy stuck around for a bit longer to give you a better chance of picking it up, especially since some of the pieces go flying super far.

This Game surprised me with its Content, Costume Party packs a lot for a GameJam-Game. There are several Mechanics to find which all are fun to use. It nails the Theme of Discovery with the Costumes and Movement upgrades pretty well. Playing it was a fun experience and even supports xbox Controllers (which i tested and it works). The Sprites look good and are even animated. Even tho i could not vibe with the Music, in the setting it made perfect sense. The only thing that i could complain about was that the Player looks a little goofy when you execute the Dash ability on the Ground.

This was hella fun and perfect themed with halloween. Great job!

Feedback:

• Some checkpoint a bit far
• Did the costumes have any effect (or just purely visual?)
• Freaking loved the music and art style
• Shared 8 candy with grandma yay!

Nice animations and mobs! i really enjoyed the style, the wall climbing was a pain though. I didn't feel much discovery but I did feel a lot of immersion!

Solid game, really impressed with the costumes. How did you animate them?

Very well done! I couldn't figure out how to change costumes though!

Still, the amount of features and how nice it felt was crazy for a game jam. Very hollow knight vibe which is what I assume you were going for, and pulled off really good feel for such a short period.

Really solid entry. Great work to pull this off with just 48 hours. The animations and costumes were great. The wall jumping was a little weird, but I finally found a way to make it work.
