Costume Party: the horde dressed up

Every enemy can now show up in a Halloween costume, two bosses came dressed up too, you can play as a skeleton, and the main menu has a song of its own: Graveyard Shift.

Halloween is a few days away, so the horde dressed up. They fight exactly the same, it's just clothes, so you'll still know what's coming at you.

🎃 Costume party

Placeholder: a jack-o'-lantern, a bedsheet ghost, or Frankenstein's monster, stitched together from other people's assets.
T-Poser: a witch, or a scarecrow, the only costume that ever fit the pose. It brought a crow.
Hotload Clone: a black cat. Kill it and you get two kittens.
Shader Compiler: the devil. Compiling shaders: 666/13,000.
QA Dummy: a mummy, wrapped in its own patches.
Null Ref: a vampire. No reflection, no reference.
Breaking Change: a candy bucket. Pop it and the candy goes everywhere.
1GB Export: a spider. Eight legs, one gigabyte.
ERROR: candy corn, down to the last letter.

👹 The bosses dressed up too

THE REWRITE carved itself a jack-o'-lantern head, and the carving glows a different colour every phase. SOON™ came as a bat. Still hanging around.

💀 So can you

Set DRESS to SKELETON on the title screen. It's there for everyone this season, whatever your career rank. In co-op, player 2's skeleton wears a cyan cap, so you can still tell who's who.

🎵 Graveyard Shift

The main menu has its own song now: a music box over a walking bass, a skeleton xylophone, then a theremin over a haunted organ and a wolf somewhere in the distance. Leave the menu open for a minute.

Also:

Kill feed: it shows what each enemy came as, and the game over screen tells you who got you ("killed by a QA Dummy dressed as a mummy").
Wave 13: when the power goes out, pumpkin heads and candy buckets light up the dark.

The costumes and the song are here until Nov 8.
