I enjoyed this.  I like the premise and will be fun to see what you will do with the Pumpkin Lord. You have a fun game and a great hook as far a lore is concerned. Who is the pumpkin lord? Why must I feed him?  Delightful music.  This is really well put together.

Wow I love the graphics, that's beautiful ! The game is cool, that's funny to see the pumpkin lord grow up :o

The visuals were very strong, loved the parallax effect for when you are walking around.

The gameplay felt frantic but also frustratingly slow. The timer counting down on the milliseconds made me feel like it was going really fast, even though I never had an issue with the time, but at the same time, when nighttime happened it felt a little frustrating that I just needed to wait it out. The timer doesn't even move during nighttime!

We are given 6 locations to plant crops in but because of how quick crops die off and only being able to store one crop at a time, I ended up just using 2-3 locations for my whole play through. Maybe if I was able to anticipate the pumpkin lords needs I could plant new crops beforehand and get the timing right where the crops are ready as soon as he has a new request.

Overall a very strong visual style but the gameplay could have been tweaked a bit to have a more satisfying feel.

Thank you for the strong feedback! We had a difficult time balancing the game

I got zero points. Oh well. Strong visuals and keeping up with the plants is satisfying!

I liked the color pallet and art style!

Fun game. I found the planting menu a little bit complex with the arrow key controls instead of the mouse though. Excellent work!

Mouse for some reason didn't work so we quickly decide to use wasd to navigate. Thank you for the feedback

I tried playing several matches, but for some reason its somewhat complex, still managed to get some points on my 3rd try, pretty cute game, visuals and music!

what made it complex?

Im not a big fan of text tutorials on the description of the game, I’m more a “hidden tutorial inside the game” kinda of guy as you can tell by my game. Only after a couple attempts trying to figure out how to play, I noticed the text under the game, and then it became clearer!
