[Announcement] MakeCode Arcade Mini Game Jam #14 - Halloween Jam!

I’m here to share my unanimously agreed upon opinion that is always right (kidding ofc).

@richard is right—autumn solos :person_shrugging:.

As someone who lived many years in Northeast America (fun sized arctic), winter is so… annoying. It’s literally everything that sucks about summer, but too far to the other side:

  • -2000 degrees all the time where I (used to) live
  • Snow and cold weather is nice and all, but it gets annoying so quick (blizzards, roads are iced over, your ears and nose will hurt all the time)
  • No sun, just overcast 100% of the time
  • the cold sucks

But I’ll give you some credit, the holiday season is THE BEST. And it only has that nice, joyful effect in cold places (their is no holiday spirit in Florida, it’s literally the Elf plot but instead of Manhattan it’s just a state.)

I’d much rather freeze all the time than get an absolutely massive sweat stain and be eaten by a dozen mosqitoes on my way home from school on my bike

A typo. Whyyyyy. :anguished: :weary: :tired_face: :disappointed_relieved:

Yeah, it feels easier to beat the cold than to beat the heat. (And it’s even harder to beat the mosquitoes…)

Spring is just the better summer.

i think winter is good for being like 3 months of the year because its the best season, but if i had to be in winter for the entire year i would hate it since i like to go outside.

Introducing “Reaper Race” - The Ultimate Speed Running Challenge!

Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping experience like no other as you enter the thrilling world of “Reaper Race,” a game that will push your reflexes and speed to the limit. In this heart-pounding adventure, you find yourself trapped in a treacherous castle, relentlessly pursued by the Reaper. Your only chance of survival lies in your ability to outrun the Reaper and complete three intense levels.

As you embark on this high-stakes journey, you’ll face a myriad of challenges, navigating through castle environments filled with danger. The path ahead is filled with various spikes that appear and disappear, adding an extra layer of tension and precision to your every move. Each step you take must be calculated with utmost care, as a mistimed jump or a misjudged spike can spell instant doom.

The Reaper will also be hot on your heels, ensuring that every second counts. The pressure is on as you move through narrow corridors, leap over spikes, and navigate treacherous platforms. Can you maintain your composure and stay one step ahead of the relentless pursuer?

Your goal is simple: complete the three castle-based levels as quickly as possible. With spikes lurking around every corner, you must exhibit impeccable timing and quick reflexes to avoid them. The spikes will appear and disappear in unpredictable patterns, challenging your ability to adapt on the fly and make split-second decisions. Only the most agile and focused players will be able to master these hazardous environments and emerge victorious.

At the end of each run, your performance will be rewarded with a time. This time becomes your benchmark, motivating you to push harder and faster with each subsequent attempt. Speed runners, in particular, will relish the opportunity to refine their techniques, shave precious seconds off their runs, and climb the Reaper Race Forum Leaderboard (will add!).

But the challenge doesn’t end there. “Reaper Race” offers a true test of skill and determination with two unlockable difficulty modes: Impossible and Ludicrous. These modes will push even the most seasoned players to their limits, presenting near-impossible challenges that require flawless execution and split-second decision-making. Only those who have mastered the game’s mechanics and possess lightning-fast reflexes will be able to conquer these formidable difficulties.

“Reaper Race” is not just a game; it’s a testament to the pursuit of speed, precision, and determination. Push yourself to the limits as you strive for the fastest times, unlock challenging difficulties, and prove your worth as the ultimate speed runner. Can you escape the clutches of the Reaper and etch your name into the annals of gaming glory?

Experience the thrill of the chase, the rush of adrenaline, and the satisfaction of conquering seemingly insurmountable challenges. “Reaper Race” awaits, daring you to enter its world and emerge victorious. Are you ready to outrun the Reaper and claim your place among the fastest speed runners in the forums? The race begins now.

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying! When you’re outside in the cold, you can always put on more layers, but you can only remove so much when it’s hot outside…
