Candyman: Be My Victim (NES) DEMAKE

This was my return to slasher games in 2006. It was only a demo on the PC, but now a complete game for the NES! Play as Candyman & eviscerate anyone that dares to say your name 5 times in front of a mirror.

This was originally made in The Games Factory in 2006 by Steve McCall and then ported to play on an NES in 2022 by Steve McCall (programming & misc graphics), Kevin81 (transcribed all sounds & music), and Lilith Brendan (a majority of the graphics).

For more information on the original windows game, visit the official page here.

Alternate download link.

{PC Demo released: June 10, 2006. NES demake released: February 1, 2023.}

-=List of easter eggs and codes=-

• On the credits screen.. Press the select button 14 times to jump to the Final Bonus Level instantly.
• On the second level after you kill the girl that tries to step on your mirror, go left to the next room. In that room hold right + select to see a tribute to Dimebag Darrell. 
• During the "Fista Productions" logo at the beginning.. Do the button combination down, up, left, left, A, right, down before it changes to the title screen for a secret surprise (the combination is a reference to the DULLARD code from the Sega Genesis port of Mortal Kombat).

-=Tips=-

• When the victims are hiding, do not walk in front of them or past them. They will run away causing a "Game Over."
• Bonus stage JV. Stay as far away as possible. Alternating going up and down the screen shooting hooks.
• Bonus stage MM. Stay in the middle, alternating going up and down shooting your hooks at the enemy.
• For Bonus stages JV & MM. If you throw a hook at them when none of their weapons are being thrown on the screen, they will throw a weapon right back at you. This sometimes leads to two weapons being thrown at you because of their patterns. However, if you throw a hook at them when one of their projectiles are still flying in the air, they will not throw a weapon back at you, sticking to their standard pattern.
• Bonus stage FK. There are two main strategies you can use. 1. Go in a rectangular pattern, staying away from the enemy, all the while shooting hooks at him. 2. A method discovered a month after I released the game: Stand in place, spam hooks, and let him run into you; you'll win in time.
