About Jack and the Candy Corn
Jack and the Candy Corn is a puzzle platformer for the NES, written in assembly so it runs on the real console. You play Jack, a wise-cracking jack-o'-lantern with a craving for candy corn, and you need ten pieces to satisfy his sweet tooth.
Jack can throw his head and jump on it like a platform. If he throws it into a sack, his eyes are hidden, and that's when the scarecrows move. Scarecrows can work seesaws and buttons, so the puzzles are about when to look and when not to. There are ten levels.
It was made for the Comfy Jam: Autumn and is free on itch.io. You can play it in your browser, or download the NES ROM to play on an emulator or real hardware.
