How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
I went after a more funny/halloween theme with mummies candy and nobody can forget Pumpkins

I found it to be more effective to just jump over enemies than to throw projectiles at them. Not sure if that was the intent.
The platforming was a little heavy, and the lack of iframes a bit flummoxing in tight spaces, but a solid entry nevertheless.
It was not clearly shown with points appearing out of enemies but you do gain points when you beat enemies thus increasing your overall score. iFrames would make a nice tweak if not at least for a little while. Thanks for the feedback though!
I liked the art for the floating pumpkins and mummies, they were cute!
Dawson is adorable. They should be in costume!
Good point. Thanks for the feedback!
without stomping it just isn't complete, big oversight
quite fun! I enjoyed trying to do a pacifist route where I'm only allowed to jump over to lead enemies into the holes! it's cool that your game allows for both types of play. thank you for building and submitting!
A simple, cute, fun platformer with a basic and easy to understand attack... hard to go wrong! My only feedback, it seemed like the pumpkins liked to get under my feet when I was jumping down from platforms. Might be good to make enemies stompable, in a sorta Mario way. That's my only suggestion, though! Can't wait to see what you all come out with next. :D
Thank you so much,I love that stomp enemies idea so much
Stomp update when?
Sad we didn't think of that
