Type for Treat! Get your Halloween goodies and practice your typing at the same time! 

Play as a ghost (I promise it’s not a kid with a blanket over his head) going trick or treating around his neighborhood with his mom and dad.
Collect candies from each house by typing out words then catching them in your goodies bag. But be careful, some of your neighbors are giving away tooth brushes and tooth paste too, yuck!
Upgrade your gear with the goods from the vampire (AKA dad). He only accepts candy, so you better stock up. 

If you need help, mom, I mean, the vampire queen is just around the corner with some tips!

Had a blast making this game and learned a ton. Super happy I went into this challenge despite barely having enough time. Excited to share more about what I learned in the future when things slow down.
All the designs come from Ivan Dubovik (https://www.instagram.com/vandubovik/?hl=en). All of the game mechanics + Shaders were made using Rive CLI in Cursor. Animations by me. 

Hope you have fun with it, and let me know what your high score is!
Great job, Caleb! I gave it a try, but it’s really hard to play, even though I’m familiar with touch typing. I think the candies should fall more slowly, or maybe the bowl at the bottom should be removed to make it a bit easier.
I created a Halloween Zip Game, built with Rive + Codex in say 90 minutes! 👻💎
It looks easy… until you take the wrong turn. 😉

Growing up in Russia in the 90s Halloween was familiar to me only via movies on bootle VHS. This was the inspiration for my entry for this challenge.
Candykids 2 is a tower defence game that lives on a worn-out tape. Kids and teens are trick-or-treating their way to your door, and your scarecrows are two-sided signs. One side scares the little ones; flip it, and the other side roasts the teenagers. You have to keep flipping as the crowd changes, because teens will happily wreck a scarecrow that’s showing the wrong side. Every visitor you scare off drops candy, which you spend on more scarecrows. But that candy is also all that stands between you and the kids. Run out, and they eat you.
I built it with the Rive CLI, working with Claude: the game logic, rules and scene are all RML and Luau scripts. GPU Canvas does the fun parts: the 3D tape sliding into an old TV/VCR, and a CRT/VHS shader over the whole game. Then I went over all generated placeholders to give it personal touch in the Rive Editor.
It was my first time trying Rive CLI + Claude and in the end had less time than I expected and much more hurdles to go through but it was a great learning experience and I will definitely use this workflow in the future.
