Carl Candy Crusade

Halloween night is Carl's one shot at glory, and Carl Candy Crusade makes the most of it. Carl's back is giving him trouble, so he's enlisted a crew of eager schoolchildren to help sweep the neighborhood for every last piece of candy before midnight. The clock is ticking, the streets are full of treats, and not everything lurking out there is friendly.

Coordination matters here. Guiding Carl and the kids through winding neighborhoods means thinking about who goes where and when. Shadows hide things that would rather see your haul go to nothing, and the timer waits for no one.

What makes it work is the odd charm of the whole setup — a bad-backed man, a gang of candy-hungry children, and one very chaotic Halloween evening. Strategy creeps in naturally without ever feeling heavy, and the sense of scrambling against the clock gives every run a genuine edge.
