Doodle Hunt: Halloween Rush

Cute artwork with a few fun music tracks. I love that the objects aren't obscured by other things or hidden in places. I find myself always looking for that last thing. There's a low variety of stages. Every 4 - 5 stages, they repeat again, but you get more new objects to find. Once you've heard all the music tracks, that's all there is. They're fun jams, but not exactly something I want to listen to for a long time, admittedly. I am a big fan of the one that sounds a bit like a trap mix.

There are definitely big issues. At least there were for me.

There isn't a settings menu. You are only presented with 3 different game modes to play. You cannot adjust volume, resolution, screen size, contrast, or even UI elements. I used my volume mixer to turn the game's audio down.

I only played Classic Mode, so that's what I can speak for. You only get one hint per stage, which seems a bit limiting. It would nice if it could have a short recharge time. For me, it would help whenever I can't find the last to last two objects. The hint gizmo you get is a compass in which the North arrow takes you to the object.

The UI for Classic Mode still has the timer UI at the top of the screen, which annoying covers search areas. More frustratingly, there's a big pause button in the upper left-hand corner that can hide objects. I had to maneuver the area around while zoomed to see any potential objects behind it. Sometimes there were.

The escape would be perfect for pausing the game instead of having that big button there. If it needs to be there, there should be some white space around the actual puzzle area so nothing can be visually blocked at any zoom level.

I love the art style and the gameplay is just relaxing! very good for all ages :)

This is a nice little Halloween themed find-it type of game. The black and white line drawings are cute and the costumed characters in the pictures move a bit, so you're not just looking at a static picture. Items fill with color as you click on them. There is a sidebar on the right side of the screen that shows the items and amounts you need to find. The item groups color in and fall to the bottom as you complete each group.

You can play with or without a timer. There is also a hint button that points you in the direction of one of the remaining items you need to find. It does recharge but takes a while. The music is appropriately Halloween-y, I just wish there was the option to adjust the volume. I usually prefer to play with the music very low or even off. I like this game a lot. It's perfect for Halloween.
