You've spookified your home, and put on your scariest costumes ready for the revelry afforded by mass produced candies and suburban living. Soon children will flood your door and sing out this question: "Trick or treat!?". Well friends, there's another "TRICK" sneaking around in the shadows of your home. That's right, Halloween season is TAKELING season, and these pests do love candy. Be vigilant, or this may be the scariest Halloween yet!
Features
To celebrate Halloween this year we've added spooky seasonal skins for Hal and the Takelings and Halloween themed environments and decorations.
Takelings Scare Party will run from October 27th to November 26th, then the House will return to normal, so get your scary on while it lasts!

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Load Times Bug
Fixed bug that was causing very long level load times.
Adjusted Pause Menu and Score Screens to always appear in front of the VR player so they no longer accidently pause the game without realizing it.

Phone Controller App Update
This is a small patch addressing reliability of the smartphone app. This update will break compatibility with old versions of the smartphone app so make sure to update to the latest version.
Game Update 07/24/2020
Updates
Improvements:
Improvements to grab detection on Takelings that can't be seen directly.
Extra Lives no longer remove kills from kill counter or points from Hal.
Added better feedback for when a scene change is triggered.
Improved collision detection on fast moving Takelings. Should be harder to phase through walls now, especially when using the fire pepper speed boost.
Improved hammer precision (Still needs more improvements).
Only the hammer head can break the wall now, no more accidentally hitting the wall with the handle.
Height calibration button moved out of settings menu and into the main pause screen for better visibility and access.
Additions:
Physical button added to score screens to initiate new level.
SafeZone for Takelings added to basement. No more Takelings disappearing out of bounds.
Bug fixes:
Fixed issue where pause menu sometimes would not work in attic.
Fixed bug where sometimes Takelings would spin out when grabbed, and possibly clip through the floor.
Fixed visual bug where pieces of the wall wouldn't properly disappear after breaking.
Fixed bug where wrong controller icons would be assigned.
Fixed bug where hands would go wobbly when grabbing objects with both the grip and trigger in the Kitchen.
Fixed window in Kitchen being considered out of bounds causing Takelings and objects to teleport.
Removed extra outlet next to waffle iron.
Game Update 05/30/2020
Updates
Fixed issue where Quest Link users were stuck in the floor.
Fixed issue where sometimes Takelings would get yeeted into the stratosphere disappearing from the game until the next round.
Added back in the "Application has lost focus" warning so players are aware of when the Takelings window has lost focus and controller input will not be working until it's re-highlighted.
Game Update 05/20/2020
Updates
Changes to address ambiguity with scoring!
Takeling player score are now always displayed in their HUD player cards.
Takelings now emit a coin particle when receiving points.
Takelings now receive points for rescuing friends from being cooked!
Other updates:
Hal can no longer shove his head through geometry. Added a fade-in vision blocker when stepping out of bounds, no more clip peak cheating in the basement!
Added controller type awareness to action prompts and player setup. Now instead of prompting "X" for every controller type, it will now correctly prompt the appropriate action button for that player.
Takelings now receive actions prompts whenever near an interactable object.
Added Takeling electrocution shader back into their electrical charge animation in the basement.
Added flame on particles to the stove for a more dramatic effect.
Takelings now teleport to the last grounded position in the kitchen rather than a random position when falling onto the floor. Similar behavior now to the Attic.
Bug fixes:
Fixed apples not highlighting when a Takeling hides in them.
Fixed bubble gum balloons remaining in world if the piloting Takeling dies before it pops.
