  • Neat little Halloween-themed arcade clicker game. I like the idea of protecting the pumpkin patch. You could take this game in so many directions in future โ€“ enemy waves, different ways to defeat enemies โ€“ the list is endless!

This is a fun game! One thing that you should probably fix in the future is to make it so that if a ghost dies, it won't possess a pumpkin.

The music and graphics was amazing!

It felt really intuitive that you had to click the ghosts before they reched a pumpkin, but it took me a while to realize you only needed to hit them once...

I also think the game could benifit from getting increasinly harder. I realized that there was only ever three ghosts on the screen at a time. I think it would be a good idea to have 4 ghosts at a time after level 30, then maybe 5 at a time at level 60?

Cute game!

The ghosts turning the pumpkins into Jack O'lanterns was a very cute touch!

Good job!

Love the art and the music but the mechanics in my opinion are very simple, overhaul of the mechanics will make it a very fun minigame, Good job overall, was fun to play.

Great game. I really like the art style and the background music of the game. It does get a bit repetitive after a while. But thats about it. I played this for way to long and got to a score of 300!

Great game, Keep it upโ™ฅ

Really clean game. 2 things I noticed, the ghosts seem to spawn always from the same spot. Other thing is that if you kill a ghost the dead ghost can still possess a pumpkin.

Hope you can expand the game a little bit further

I love the pixel art style and music, also ghost animation was so juicy. You need to work on the dificulty when reaching some point beacouse they are spawning in the same place all the time with the same pace. More randomness and it will be so cool to play. if you want u can check my too

Nice little game! I liked the art and music; theremin is perfect to do the ghosty notes!

I stopped at 111 points. Once I got that the ghosts always spawn at the same place, at the same pace, it became impossible for me to lose. To balance this, I suggest you make them spawn randomly along the side of the screen but not as often as they do now and make the game go slower so it's not too hard.

Also, sometimes I thought I missed a ghost because their death animation is so close to the normal one. Maybe making them stop moving or adding a slash would have made this a little bit more obvious!

I missed about 10 pumpkins before I realized I needed to click on them :)

hey, first I loved the art style, it was very cute, despite being horror! The music was also very fitting for this gameplay, maybe it was missing some slash sounds when you hit the ghosts. After I got the hang of it, it kinda got repetitive, because the ghosts are spawning always left, top, right so I was anticipating. But for what it is, I found it very entertaining and I had a good time playing it! Keep it up! <3


I got 69 points.

Very hard, but nicely done game on a "cute but spooky" side. Got only 38 points :D
Nice job!
