I liked the simple artstyle and animations! Maybe something to keep in mind if you continue developing the game is the balance of attacks. Right now, I don't see any reason I would use the melee attack instead of the ranged one, since the ranged attack can be used much more frequently and travels further. Another thing I found kind of strange was that player could move faster than the projectile, which you don't often see. Overall this was a nice, simple game that I enjoyed!

Hello! Yes. I wanted to do something about the attacks because I noticed it wasnt right even while the character is moving, i can still perform attack. I wanted to change this aspect however I lack the time so I just coded simple movement and combat script for the player. I just wanted to focus on the story of the game this game jam. Thank you for the feedback! :)

Omg :) I had a smile on my face throughout the whole game.

I think it is because of the contrast between the silly art and inspiring audio track.

Would love to see what MR PumkinMan is up to next.

Keep up the good work!

Developer

Given the chance and if I have time, I might rework and add more story to the game and to mr pumpkin man. Thank you for the feedback! :)
