Halloween 2014 Trick Or Treat Contest

#1 by hanako - Oct 17 2014

It's about time for... another FREE GAME GIVEAWAY! And this year's theme will be DELICIOUS CANDY.

How To Enter:

The basic entry is this: post in this thread and describe a candy themed around any game (or character from a game) that is or has been sold on hanakogames.com. For this part, it doesn't matter if it's an affiliate game or not.

For example, you might say "Long Live The Queen is like a tiny chocolate with a hard-pink shell that looks cute and innocuous but when you crack it, poison leaks out." (Except, as I've just said that, any description of LLTQ poison chocolates is now Unimaginative.

Try harder!)

Each forum user is allowed ONE candy entry, and winners will be selected at random. However, there are things you can do to boost your chances! In the raffle, you get:

1 ticket for entering by posting your candy description
1 ticket if you draw a picture of your candy, too.
1 ticket if I think your candy description or picture is particularly apt, funny, or cool. It pays to be creative.
1 ticket if you are the first entrant to describe a particular game/character. Don't just go for the obvious targets!
1 ticket if you publicly tweet or blog about the contest - put a link in your entry post so we can verify.

What You Win:

Games, of course! As usual, the exact number and quality of giveaway games depends on how many people enter the contest. If I only get a handful, then there'll be one free downloadable game, done. If hundreds of people pour into the forums to take part, there will be lots of prizes and even a hard copy or two.

Most likely it'll be a free download or steam key for any game I sell myself, including Science Girls but not including other affliliate titles that I don't have the right to give away. And it'll also be valid for a free copy of the IN PROGRESS games that you may have seen mention of in the Secrets forum....

Winners will be selected on or around Halloween, so check back then to see if you've got a treat!

(removing doubles) I think Long Live the Queen is more like that "chocolate roulette" game where you have a bunch of chocolates--but one of the chocolates has a really hot pepper inside.

If that doesn't count because of the chocolate, I'd say Cute Knight Deluxe reminds me of a candied apple: sweet and comforting and a nice twist on a traditional favourite (that is, raising sims like Princess Maker 2 and RPGs).

(ruled out because of double) Magical Diary is kind of like Galaxy chocolate is to someone who grew up eating Hershey's chocolate. It looks like the chocolate you're used to at first, and in the end it's still just plain chocolate, but it's a lot better than you were expecting at the outset. I'm not sure if that counts since it's kind of more a metaphor than an original candy, so just in case I'll append this:

The Royal Trap is like one of those gamble chocolates except inside is four other gamble chocolates so you don't even know what it's made of for half the time you're eating it.

Also I posted about the contest on my blog

Okay, Summer Schoolgirls is like shoestring licorice. It's multicolored , but each thread is a single color. It's sweet. And the [story] threads tend to tangle up together if you're not careful.

Magical Diary is like a delicious multi flavor rock candy encased in Chocolate. The smooth creamyness of the milk chocolate with the nice sparkling multicolored little Candy rocks inside make for a wonderful treat you can share with your friends. But make sure that the flavors of the candy doesn't conflict with the flavor of the chocolate. or it might turn out bad.

Eh, since he posted two I'll count you as the magical diary one.

One candy only, people! Don't post two, it confuses the count!

Future entries trying to cram multiple candies into one post may be disqualified. If you're not sure if something counts, ask first and let me deal with it.

Magical Diary is that box of chocolates where all but one are nasty coconut combinations but the last one is raspberry filling and you know you should be polite and not hog the only good candy but damn it, raspberry and coconut aren't even on the same PLANET so you do it anyway. Every time.

The raspberry may be representing Professor Grabiner.

Okay, yeah, it's representing Grabiner

Lucille is a lot like White Rabbit candy. It's sweet, comes wrapped in frills, and you fondly grew up with it. Unfortunately, it's also poisoning you, so you'll probably have to exile it out of your realm.

Date Warp is like a packet of Starbursts--you pick the red and pink ones at first, the traditional cherry/strawberry sweets, but the constant presence of lemon and orange makes you want to try for the overall rainbow. You put them in your mouth. Candy gold.

More trick than treat.

Science Girls is like a bag of homemade hard candies from your cousin : They could be sweet, they could be sour, taste like feet, taste like flour; you'd wanna take them to your bed, but they just might explode your head.

Lucky Rabbit Reflex is like one of those giant chocolate bunnies; so much to take in but you're gonna finish it all anyway because damnit you want all those endings/cgs you're a glutton for punishment.

Don't make fun of my horrible paint bunny. A lot of love went into those pixels.

To me, Magical Diary was a caramel, walnuts and candied bacon brownie. It looks like a treat you've seen a hundred times in bakeries and shops -- good and comforting, but conventional. However, when you take a bite, it has all those hidden depths, great complexity and stuff you didn't expect to be in there.

Black Closet (I can use games in progress right? >_>) is like that wrapped box of candy from your favorite relative/friend who really knows your tastes, sitting under your holiday plant until that special day. The wait feels like forever... but you know that it will be all the sweeter for it

Link and pic forthcoming (hopefully before tomorrow), just thought I should get this in early.

Juliana, Duchess of Ursul (from LLTQ) is like [SPOILER]... li hing mui (or "crack seed"), a potent, salty-sweet Chinese candy that makes your taste buds freak out and your hair stand on end the first time you encounter it. Once you've gotten to know it, though, you're going to keep on reaching for more!

"Long live the queen". To me this is like brightly coloured, citrussy, sickly sweet candy shells, with a layer of chewy sweetness (like skittles, only slightly sweeter) and filled with gingers, hot sauces, sherbert (baking soda, icing sugar &citrus powder) and sour lemon fillngs in unknown combinations. A sweet treat with a kick in it's center. A contrasting candy that keeps dragging people back for more with it's unexpected surprises.

To me ,Magical Diary was a small mixed grab bag of sweets.
one delicate and light sweet chocolate cookie with cream cheese frosting in light and happy colors.
the next one is a sour jaw breaker that's got a fruit sweet center and gothic coloring shaped as a star.
The final one would be a lightening bolt that is sweet and rich at first popping (pop rocks style) ,
you get to small spicy pieces mixing in ways that are impossibly good with out alittle magic to it .

I hope this isn't like anyone else's entry; it's what I thought of for LLTQ which is the only one I've played so far. ^_^;

Long Live The Queen is like a freshly spun stick of cotton candy, a mix of pink, blue and lime green. You expect sweetness, and it's there, but there's also a sour twist! It's unique, and you constantly want to explore which piece is sweet and which is sour and how they blend together. It's a winning combination! Elodie spun the cotton candy and infused a little bit of Lumen magic into the sweets to make sure everyone who has a taste enjoys their day... and worships their Queen.

'Nicole' is to me a very refreshing piece of gum, with a gooey spicy centre: the taste is first overwhelming but it has hidden layers, the taste gets more refined after each chew. Also it gives you fingernails a rest during the tense moments of the game...

Long Live the Queen is a little like Harry Potter Jelly Beans, sometimes you might get a great one, but you have just as much chance of getting something less than pleasant. But you keep on eating/playing anyway searching for a good 'one'.

Madeleine from The Royal Trap is like a piece of taffy in which she can stretch herself (figuratively speaking), depending on the role she has to play, whether that is simply being Oscar's valet or acting as secret spy. ^^

This here candy is like Damien....

Oh look at it, it's blue! such a soft color...but it's so weird.....is that blood? Everyone says it's blood on there. Like, but look at that fluffy outside, it seems so soft and squishy. NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN IF YOU BITE INTO IT! But then you do and you realize the red is MELTED LICORICE AND IT COULD BE BLOOD, CRAP, and then when you bite in, no it's okay, it's chocolate, it's chocolate that melts in your mouth..BUT IT'S A TRICK TO MAKE YOU BITE HARDER ON IT AS THE BOTTOM IS A THICK CHOCOLATE TOFFEE THAT MAKES IT HARD TO CHEW, AND ARE THOSE SOUR PIECES, BITS OF CITRUS, IN IT? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING THIS WAS SUCH A BAD IDEA OH GOD PLEASE STOP! THERE'S EVEN MARSHMALLOW IN THE TOFFEE TO REMIND YOU OF HOW YOU FELL FOR THIS CANDY'S SWEET TRICKERY AND HOW STUPID YOU WERE FOR FALLING FOR IT! YOU IDIOT!
