Get the candies!
An entry in a Halloween BKZX in 2006. This game is the origin of POOP ROAD and so I feel it should be included in the archive. It is akin to the Break the Targets levels of Super Smash Bros, except you collect all the candy to progress.

Get the candies! is nothing more and nothing less than what it's advertised to be. It's a simple platformer where you attempt to collect all of the candies without dying. This could easily have been a 3 star game except for quite a few gameplay flaws, probably due to the nature of the competition it was created in.
Objects randomly fall from the sky and explode to damage the player. They are completely random, and seem to fall and hit the player whenever it's most inconvenient. By the end of the game, you'll be savescumming so that you don't have to play the whole thing over again. The final level has an enemy that shoots at you while you try to collect heaps of candy that were lazily dumped in a couple of spots.
Said falling objects can move the candies around, causing them to be knocked out of reach and making a level unbeatable. I never personally experienced this to a degree that I couldn't beat a level, but the possibility was certainly there. Why were the candies pushable?
The player controls are pretty terrible. The player jumps in the classic triangle arc, but it's hard to control the player's horizontal movement mid-jump for some reason, and you have to be careful jumping from edges lest you walk off of one accidentally.
That being said, this game is much more playable and fun than half of the Vault's contents. 2/5
