Page Title: Halloween Point n' Click-a-ma-jig!
|
this year's halloween thing!  This year's costume teaser is the title screen! Everybody dressed up as characters from classic adventure games so it was natural that, instead of a toon, this year's Ween update would be a playable game in the style of those old point n' clicks! Help Homestar find the other characters so he can get their costumes wrong like always! Made in Unity with the great Adventure Creator plugin, the game is currently hosted on itch.io with the hope of getting it up and running here on the website proper soon |
Fun Facts
Trivia
- The itch.io description reads "A short Halloween point n' click starring the dumb animal characters of HomestarRunner.com".
- The "More information" box lists the status as "Prototype", the platforms as "HTML5", the author as "Videlectrix", the genre as "Adventure", and the tags "Halloween", "homestar-runner", and "strong-bad".
Remarks
- The pause menu contains "Resume", "Options", and "Quit". In the options menu, you can adjust speech volume, music volume, and SFX volume, set the language, and toggle subtitles. Changing the speech volume or subtitles does nothing, and the language can only be set to "Original".
- You can ask The Poopsmith about Homsar, even if you have already found him, with no reaction from The Poopsmith. However, Strong Bad does note if you already found The Cheat.
Glitches
- Pausing the game using the "Pause" button causes the inventory to disappear until you enter certain rooms.
Inside References
- The gameplay music is a remix of the theme from 3 Times Halloween Funjob.

- Homestar mentions witch's brew to Strong Sad and Strong Mad.
- Homestar says "I found you totally found you" to Strong Sad, a line previously said in hiding.
- The Strong Mad Oyster Smoothie Breath Caked Armpit Latte comes from The House That Gave Sucky Tricks.
- Coach Z was previously shown to be a resident of the Gremlin in sbemail206.
- The theme from Jibblies 2 plays when Strong Mad is shown the Jibblies Painting.
- Homestar tells Bubs a tale about Taco-Man, continuing a joke from Halloween Potion-ma-jig.
- Homestar's line "Busted his head, man. Busted his head." is from The Baloneyman, when he was talking to Strong Bad about kids getting hurt on bikes.
- As in The Homestar Runner Enters the Spooky Woods, Marzipan dresses up as what Strong Sad told her to, and Strong Mad attempts and fails to make a correct reference to his costume.
- Homestar mistakenly thinks Coach Z is dressing up as Queen Latifah "again", referring to his costume in Happy Hallow-Day.
Real-World References
