Charming and spooky artwork complements this side-scroller runner. You run at the exact speed as the pumpkin, which means every second not moving has to be made up with the uncommon “pocket-watch” power-up. Needless to say I ended up as pump-king food pretty quickly, if I practiced more I think I could beat it. Once again the hallowed-nights art is very nice.
Thank you for playing and for your valuable feedback!
The enemy’s speed was intended. The game is challenging by design, and I thought it was right. However, I realized it’s not as accessible as I would like. I’ll be working on rebalancing the game. I don’t like to spam people, so please follow me if you want to be updated 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed the game! Though I got stuck at the ending, I'm eager to see this game continued. Subscribing to my YouTube channel would be awesome—I'd love to play any future games you create!
We loved your video! Thank you for giving it a try :)
Hey this is great! well done :) The Pumpking is so awesome :D
Thank you for playing it!
