Happy Halloween!!
Posted byCarnivale (#6) on Oct 16, 2013
Okay, so, it might not be Halloween yet, but darnit, it's one of Alacrity's favorite holidays, and we like to keep the festivities going for at least a couple weeks! ;D
We've brought back our annual Survivors vs. Zombies game, as well as updated the Backyard Dig game, where you can find candy, money, and pumpkins! Use your adorable little jack-o-lantern currency to purchase awesome new Halloween items from the Shop!
We have changed what were previously the Super Survivor Cape and Zombie Sword into more appropriate items for the holiday! Along with far superior art! You can purchase the new Survivalist Backpack and Shotgun from the Scoreboard page, where we keep track of which side is dealing more damage in the zombie apocalypse!
Note: Well, it's been more of a challenge than we thought, but bugs should be squashed and everything should be working! The Halloween tab should also finally make its appearance on our mobile layout asap!
And, of course, we've brought back trick-or-treating on Staff member pages! You can trick-or-treat once every four hours for the rest of the month, on any staff member's page. Be sure to keep a look out for two brand new items, obtainable only by trick-or-treating; the Spider Pendant, and Halloween Cupcake!
The Headless Horseman's Bundle is available in the monthly shop, along with a very beautiful, but ominous, All Hallows Eve Background! This background is also available in the Halloween Shop for a whole lotta pumpkins, so if you have no luck earning enough pumpkins, you can still grab this awesome background for bones!
There will be more Halloween updates in the near future, but in the meantime, get those dogs dressed up with items from previous years! We want to see all those creepy canines strutting their stuff! :D
