Great job! The pumpkin dying particles were super enjoyable, but unfortunately in the horde part the game started lagging so much that I had to quit it. Otherwise, great job!

Submitted

Flat gameplay, but loved the particles! :>

The resolution in the browser was huge, which made it a bit hard to play. But the pumpkin death animation was so satisfying. 

Developer

You can set it to the full screen, button in the lower right corner and thanks for playing 

Submitted

The shotgun was veeeery satisfying. The size of the horde shocked me, but were no match for Ol' Betsy and me. Nicely done.

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

Cool but hey, it was hard, hahah

Submitted

Cute little game, the cutscene was really nice. Good job.

Submitted

The cutscene is awesome. I like the game. Good job!

Developer

Thanks

I really enjoyed playing this game! Pretty funny cutscene at the beginning :D

But too many pumpkins, not sure if i can win, too many for me hahaha

Good work!

Developer

Thanks

Funnest game I have played so far. 

Developer

Thank you and I'm glad you liked the game

That cutscene at the beginning alone deserves praise. Made me giggle :)

One feedback from me would be to change the pacing of the game. I thought the game would be more chaotic with gigantic weapons and so on.

Amazing job, keep up the good work!

Developer

Thanks

Cons:

In fullscreen (1440x 2560) the hurt splash screen didn't cover the whole screen. Looked like it was set up for a 1080p screen only. 

Second half lagged a bit and caused issues with firing a weapon. Took a second to realise I pressed fire.

Second half also felt boring quickly as there was no change in the game play and repetitive. 


Pros:

Killing pumpkins was fun and satisfying.

Melee and the guns kept it fun enough to not feel like a restriction to only use 1. Though the shotgun was fun to spray with.


I hope this helps you and your next game will always be one step better then your last.

Developer

Thanks for feedback

Would rip and tear again, it was an enjoyable point and kill especially once you get the guns.

ooo tooo many pumpkins !!! 

Our hero needs more cookies!!! :D

nice job! Optimize it after the voting period!

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

not sure what to do at the end, seems like they just spawned forever

Developer

No after a while, they stop spawning and thanks for playing

Submitted

I loved the intro. The gameplay was pretty basic and fell apart towards the end (framerate drops) - but good job putting this together!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game and I apologize for the poor optimization of the game but unfortunately I didn't have time to solve it but I still hope you liked the game
