Well made but it's quite hard! I also had to come to the comments to find out there's no "normal" mode? Hard usually isn't the baseline so that was kind of confusing lol. 

Thanks for the fun game and congrats on completing the jam!

Thanks for the feedback!

Fun game concept.  

I have a terrible sense of rhythm and timing for lining up when the action was allowed (right in front of the player).  Maybe a yellow indicator line or square on the ground, or the pumpkin sprite getting a little brighter (or something) indicating when the action could be completed would have made it easier to line up the timing to be able to start a streak if you can keep with the beat.  

Unfortunately my sense of timing was not good enough to even know if the music kept beat with the pumpkins...but the music didn't really assist me in keeping a beat.  That said, I was still able to string together an 11 pumpkin streak.

When modes were named hard and nightmare...I was wondering where 'easy' was.  The 'hard' game mode was appropriately labeled...it was hard.   

Nightmare mode is where the look direction mattered.  The instructions could have pointed out that W/S were for nightmare mode only.  Initially in hard mode I kept pressing W/S to try and figure out what I needed to look at.  I'm guessing nightmare mode was pretty impossible for me.

I like this game and can't fault you for my not being good at this type of game.

Thank you for the feedback, we're aware that an easy/tutorial mode would've helped a lot, we'll keep it in mind for the future! We're glad you could still enjoy the game

Fun game! Im terrible at it, but it was very well made! I was having trouble figuring out/remembering which key did what, perhaps having an indicator of which key to press under the pumpkin would be helpful for someone starting out with the game. Could be a feature to remove for harder difficulties. Great job! 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! That's a great idea and we'll take it into consideration, thank you!

SO COOL!!! The gameplay is really fun and the animations/sounds make the game 200% better! (Btw I missed like 90 pumpkins 😅)

It's so much fun, makes me remember when i used to play rythm game. Banger music, and unique gameplay makes me want to play more. But maybe you can give like an offset option because i keep hitting faster than the pumpkin.

Thank you! That's a really helpful idea, we'll consider adding it!

Great game! Although the difficulty level is pretty hard, it is worth it on the graphics design and the code behind it. The music is nice and the game fits the theme perfectly. Best of luck with the game jam!

Developer

Thank you so much! Good luck to you too :)

Nice game. I liked how the pumpkin lighting, carving, and destroying went right with the music! However, I think there should be an easier mode. It is very hard for me to remember what key to press, and I keep ending up with black pumpkins. Overall, nice game!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, we'll be sure to consider adding an easier mode or a tutorial to get used to the controls.

As a rhythm game fan, I loved it. I just found very difficult to remember which key did what!
And definitely needs an easy mode for getting used to the input system.

Overall, one of the greatest game of the jam!

Great rhythm game, concept and style. I liked that the party gets going the longer you hold your streak. There should have been an easier game mode IMO since not everyones used to rhythms but it was fun!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked it! We are aware of the issue with the difficulty and will consider this for future games

Developer

Omg thank you so much!

Cool rhythm game, though I'm not very good at it @_@ Best score I managed was 99. 

It seems like the window to hit the right button for each pumpkin could be a little longer or more clearly indicated. I missed a lot from pressing in the wrong rhythm

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, we'll have it in mind!

Simple, but I really like the aesthetic, couldn’t find anything to nitpick except for my own skill - I’m really really bad at these types of games!

Developer

Thank you :D
