The extra-blocky graphics for some of the text game more Atari 2600 vibes than GB vibes. It also made the text very hard to read.
The browser version was scaled at a factor of 2.5x, which made for some janky distortion in the sprites. It properly nearest-neighbor scaled from 160x144, but it wasn't a clean scale across the screen due to scaling a non-integer factor.
The controls for which direction the up/down pumpkins would throw seemed inconsistent, or at least unintuitive. A better approach would probably have been to make one pumpkin on A, the other on B, and choose your direction with the D-pad.

The gameplay was simple, though the difficulty seemed to come from trying to throw lanterns in the correct direction. With some more polish, I think this could have been a more enjoyable experience.
