A Huge Hallows Eve 2
A downloadable game
Grimimic and UrgUrgUrg collaborate once again to bring you another Halloween treat!
Play as Gong or Fizzy as you quest across the world of humans to save your best friend and get a bunch of cute monster people stuffed fulla candy while doing it!
How do I play?
Collect candy, use that candy to buy upgrades. Upgrades help you get more candy. We were very inspired by the gameplay loop in Emmet's Anamantite Heart (we also recruited him to do a bunch of mapping!)
Is this a sequel?
Yep! To this thing here
Who did what?
Writing duties were split between Grim and Urg.
Grim drew all the portrait and cutscene art and the candy and store items, Urg mostly focused on making sprites for the NPCs (though Grim helped out with that a lot too)
Emett did three great maps for us.
The sick title screen art is by StrobeHouse over on Twitter and DeviantArt. Don't sleep on checking out his work!
What is this, a crossover episode?
It is! Characters from Grim's previous games The True Meaning Of Foodmas and A Gropesmas Story appear to delight and amuse you (and extort you for candy)

That was a lot of fun! The game is paced really well with the ending set at right about the point where the loop may start to become repetitive. Level design felt good with a variety of little paths and stages to explore.
I think that the character speed in town should be at a higher setting to avoid scaring people out of playing before they discover the shoes upgrade. My other point of criticism is the candy pickup sound which can be a little grating. Potions can make use of the RPG Maker inventory system, but I suppose that the current set up works too.
Only two bugs I've found was the the bus timer occasionally freezing and the strength potion giving me a lot more capacity than usual.
Great game! Good concept and polished execution.
Thanks so much for playing! This was thoughtful stuff :)
