Pumpkin Panic

Love this game to death. Couldnt put it down. I do hope a survival mode gets added for replayability, maybe with increasing difficulty some kind of hunger mecanic? Either way, scared me shitless and was super fun!

this game would actually be fund and good, but the clown ruins everything. Try to do something with the music please, i cant find him in time.

(231) pumpkin panic speedrun (29:11) - YouTube there was no in game audio but i just wanted to post smth here

Hey, I was wondering if you could post the main menu theme on spotify? Its super good! And I want to listen to it on there, if not I understand!

Loved it. Still had some issue tho. Felt really crappy to lose to a deer because he decided to eat some grass in front of the doorway and I stuck inside because of it.

I literally made an account to say that I love this game and I hope you keep developing ♥

Dude this is one of the best game I ever seen I wish I can play it but I only have mobile I enjoy all of the videos that I see about it and everything you're the best dude for real thank you for this great game

ps is this game going to maybe be in Mobile in the future

bruh I beat the game. its nice to find stuff like this still being made, I would love to see more done to this game like more creatures, and more areas or even more story.  cause well... I max out every thing already and beat it with in 30 min

This game is so fun but I can never get passed the first day it gives me to much anxiety. But hopefully one day I can make it.

I really hope this comes to Switch or Mac it looks really cool!

I saw someone mention something about a pumpkin panic discord, is this a for sure gonna happen thing or just a possibility. I know it could make getting notified of new updates and making a strong community for it a lot more convenient. so I’m personally in favor but I have no idea how hard it is to host a discord server or any of the logistics so if it doesn’t ever happen thats find I was just curious on your thoughts about it

This game has such potential to be the next hidden gem for this decade and I recommend making this game more challenging, like making this game have a well-written lore, story, or even adding more characters. I recommend Bilalaika make more maps and consider these maps as a level like the backrooms. Every time the pumpkin farmer manages to succeed at the level, the objectives should be harder every level like adding mechanics, hostile mobs, or mini-quests as you did with the clowns at night it's really impressive by the way. Your art style is perfect, not many games have that art style and as far as I observed through the internet, the art style attracts people around the internet including me. Add more music, especially that would make the player feel much more tense to enhance the horrific experience. If my messages manage to get the attention of Bilalaika, I would pay for this game.

I saw a video on this game, and it looks great! Looks challenging and has great graphics, I can't handle horror well so I'm probably not gonna play it but I just wanted to ask you, what's up with the well monster?

The game is both cute and scary, it's pretty nice.

It would be nice to have a more 'casual' game mode, one where you can save the game at the bed or something, everything else would still be there, but maybe as a penalty you would get less money per crop, forcing you to play for longer, but without the threat of losing everything and starting over, only losing a bit of progress or money or w/e would be balanced.  

Or you could even have it become a rogue-lite game, where the character is basically stuck in a loop, forced to experience the same horrors over and over, and only leaving the island might end it. 

Make upgrades be 1/25 or 1/50 instead of 1/10, and more expensive for the higher levels, but make them and coins permanent, allowing you to slowly progress further, but always being forced to suffer a horrible fate over and over until you eventually succeed.  

Either that, or keep the upgrade system the same, but add a skill system where you get better at doing things as you keep doing them. This seems pretty hard to make and balance though as it would need to implement a whole new system into the game, especially since it would 'force' players into grinding certain skills instead of simply playing the game as was intended without proper balancing, but well done can add an extra layer to the game, where the player can rush certain upgrades in order to maximize EXP gain for certain skills. You can also go the inverse route, where upgrades are permanent, but skill reset each run, making players get better over time every run, possibly grinding some skills for the best effect early-game in order to give them an advantage mid or late-game.

In the end it's up to you if you want any of these changes, just some ideas to help you decide. The 'long term' gameplay mode would also help you add more things to the game, since once the first goal of getting a boat is achieved, you can re-use the same map and add some new things, giving players a new goal since the boat didn't solve the loop problem.

I finally finished the game (After raging lol) it's so cool & I saw a comment where you said you wanted to add levels or go to another map after we leave on the boat.. that would be so dope & it would be cool if the monsters got more violent or if there was a new one.. I like that you allow the player to figure out how to deal with the monsters instead of telling us how to beat them.. 12/10

pls make multiplayer this game is so good

Ever since I saw your game the first time you released it here I had the idea of playing your game on my channel, I just had so much to do and was off YouTube for more than a month! Now, I am back and it is a pleasure to try out your game concept... I love it and would love to see more content inside your game!

This game is really good I got super confused on the red clown part lmao I didn't accept his ballon so in turn I got killed by the blue clown.

its not letting me in ngl, it sayus its denied and I cant even extract stuff to play :/

When are you going add more resolutions opitions

how do you like avoid the deer things? i dont really understand them

I made an itch.io account just to come here and tell you what a great job you did! The learning curve was just enough to make me wanna keep trying. The Monsters were fun and scary when unexpected! I got stuck on the clown, but then had to facepalm once I saw the flyer by my door. Haha.
Being able to switch from keyboard to controller was flawless. I have a pc but some games i use a controller because my brain just works better that way. Thank you for that.

In my game I got all fish, all clothes, and maxed all power ups and survived at 40:18!

The only problem I had with it is when you were selecting the items at the work bench. I was playing with controller. When I used the d-pad to move between items it would actually move the player also and may move you out of range of the workbench, effectively closing the window on you. That made it kinda hard when I was trying to be quick about it.

Other than that, it's fantastic! Thank you so much!

the game art is beautiful 

Hello, I saw your game on this vtuber stream, she couldn't managed to finish it and then somebody else came to play and they couldn't managed either, looks like I hard game that I would enjoy playing XD

Man, am I bad at avoiding the monsters. Good game, and that's really all I can say. However, a suggestion: A tip book for the monsters.

So, I have some problems with the game, first of all, sorry if my english is kinda broken, its not my native language, and second, its very laggy and choppy for me, my PC configs are these that I know of

intel I5

12 gb RAM

64x bit

Windows 10

I really want to play this game! Please I need some help ;(

btw lovely graphics!

This was a perfect game! Even though it's a horror game, I felt very relaxed playing it! It even inspired me to make my own farming game! (though, with construct 3's limitations) best of luck with anything you are working on, future or present!

Great game so far. I'd love to see a save/checkpoint system as it's annoying to have to restart from tutorial every time I die. And, like other commenters, I've had a bit of issue following sound cues without headphones. I'm playing on a laptop with my partner so we need to use the speakers.

Aside from that, the gameplay and player progression is simple but very addictive. Keep up the excellent work!

okay so ... this is the best game I played since long. it's casual and at the same time it's not :D the sounds at night are scary as fu.. and the deers are fu scary. it's simple and cute. I am so hyped for more updates and maybe someday a launch on steam bcs I need achivements and the option to save xD <3

t doesn't work for me, I get the error "corrupted archive" 

Es un juego muy divertido, me gustaría que se pudiera guardar el progreso porque a veces el juego es algo difícil

Love this game so much Farming and Horror what more could you want beautiful music and great ambiance keep it up 10/10

I'm blown away that this game is free!

I've gotta say... I've spent a LOT of my streaming career looking through, and playing hundreds and hundreds of itchio games, and every so often I stumble upon a gem on here.

Pumpkin Panic is one of those gems. This was a ton of fun to play. Thank you!

Tossed you $10 for the game. I hope to eventually see this game expanded upon one day, but if not, it was blast playing 1.1!

10/10 Thx

just wondering, is this the only form to play pumpkin panic or will it be on other forms too? Because I cannot download things so i cant play which is so sad.

Your game is AMAZING!!! Though it would be nice if you have some sort of encyclopedia of monster which updated each time you have an encounter with it. Or you could made the game over tell us how we died. Keep up the good work! :D

Love this game a lot! Just beat it, probably took me ten tries or so. Love the art style, sound design, and creepy monsters. It is also pretty challenging and is a bit intense at night especially. 

The only issue I had was the intro... I wish it would be possible to skip past the whole section where the raven is teaching you the mechanics. It can be frustrating to die then have to start all the way at the beginning like this. 

Also as a side note, with the game as it is now, being fairly short, a save feature definitely is not needed. But if it gets too much more difficult or much longer I think it may need one!

Really can't wait to see what is next in store for this game! I would love to get more of a backstory as to why Pumpkin Man is on this island.
