I'm loving the game, and it's really awesome you included a 3DSen file. I'm playing that way.
Reporting a bug. I'm not sure if it occurs in other areas, but in the fourth area leaving the screen will make candy disappear. It happened with the candy near the skull on the right on this screen when I left out the bottom-left exit. I've noticed it elsewhere in Area 4, but I wasn't certain until I tested it here.
Im glad to the 3dsen file being used. I'm happy you are enjoying it. The candy disappearing is part of the game if you collect a single candy in the room and you leave they will all disappear. This is due to to the nes being limited on how it handles background tile objects. It's also to prevent going back and infinitely collecting candy. There are some in game achievements at the ending for collecting a lot of candy and or finding hidden objects.
Oh interesting! Good to know.
That is awesome of you! Lets make some noise in the 3dSen Discord or the Steam forums to let people know. :)
Very nice and cute game with good playability and beautiful graphics. Our German-language preview can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 02:00:58. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Thank you so much for your support. I'll check it out!
Can you please edit it for me so I don’t have to buy Mischief Castle. I really want this game for free! Say yes to me! You can say yes to me if you correct me!
Maybe this could be the best game of this year ! Congrats ! A full demo gameplay in honor to your effort.
I really appreciate the support. Thank you.
Ooh! This looks great!
I'm kinda half-expecting Skid & Pump from 'Spooky Month' to be secret playables! Skeloo and Jackolie have that vibe!
I actually had know idea Skid & Pump existed till someone had showed me it after I first put the game on itch.io
great demo!
Thank you!
I have introduced your game in my homebrew article serie (german). :-) https://www.dasklapptsonicht.de/homebrew-ecke-mischief-castle-soko-banana-goodbo...
German or not, I appreciate the support. And feedback. Thank you
You did it, I'm nostalgic now...
Thank you. I hope you enjoyed the game.
Hello there
I enjoyed the demo had a bunch of fun with it. Purchased me a copy of it. Great job and hope to see a physical version sometime.
Awesome glad you like it. I hope you have fun.
Where have I been? I'm just now seeing this (it was on the itch io front page). Looks great!
Awesome, Glad it caught your attention. I hope you enjoy it.
I REALLY enjoy this game. The levels are massive, the character and background art are beautiful, and the soundtrack rocks. Gameplay is very fun and challenging. The Halloween atmosphere is always a win, and executed well here. Will most definitely be picking up the physical edition too. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate it. thank you!
