(The gif doesn’t work that well)

For this edition we’ll start by bringing some attention to @Bilangus’s SHAPE SMASHER!

Updates may slow down as i finally finish the first version of Feesh Frenzy: Forever, so for now, this is it! I hope you enjoy.

I really like this game, the amount of options.

This week’s game of the week is… BOOM! By @Not_a_Potato.

BOOM! is an overhead adventure game where a happy little cube named Bob wanders out farther than his village and is accidentally assigned to save the world. Unfortunately, this is only the demo version, and only has the first world, but there will definitely be more later. For now, though, I hope you like it! More details below: (Spoilers) Story: Ideas: My friend (who started this) Me Very …

BOOM! (The demo) Is a game where you play as Bob the cube on an adventure to save the world.

Do you need a game for Halloween?  
Try Carving a pumpkin by @MyCraft_Steve.

> Hi people! I’ve been seeing some people make Halloween games and thought I’d make one myself. Use it for fun, easy pumpkin carving and possibly even profile pic making. A to carve, B to un-carve. Hope you enjoy it! Also, feel free to post your own Halloween games here!!!

Carving a Pumpkin is a really simple but fun game that’s perfect for halloween.

New game jam!  
The MakeCode Arcade Heist jam has officially begun! (_Like a month ago_)

> [full-banner] Hey folks! We’ve been teasing it on stream, and it’s finally time! We’ve just launched the site for our next game jam! The theme this time around is Heists. In other words, we’re looking for games about thievery, rogues, and crime! Does that mean your game has to be about robbing banks? Not at all! Your game could be about metaphorically stealing something (like hearts or minds), or it could simply have a plot that is set in motion by a heist that happened before the game even …

We’ll talk about the game jam more in the next edition on November 6.

**Halloween!**

Today is October 31, and what day is that?  
It’s Halloween! (Or MakeCodeen)  
To celebrate I’m putting a mini weekly topic in this post…

**Weekly Topic: Favorite type of Jack-O-Lantern 🎃**

What kind of face do you like to carve on your pumpkins?  
This year I made a cat… Kind of.  
Pease feel free to talk about the unique (Or simple) things you make for Halloween!  
Unless you don’t celebrate Halloween…

> That’s it for this edition of Channel 0 News, see you next time!
