Pumpkin Panic

Would you ever consider adding a multiplayer aspect to the game? I would love to play this with my husband haha. Love the game so far though!!!

love it, reminds me of "Only Up" gameplay-wise. No saves and hard af but can't find any mods on it yet, hopefully soon?

This game is awesome!

The mix between 3d and 2d is weird, and takes some getting used to but i ended up really liking it. as for the actual style of the game, it is really cute and playful and un-assuming at first.

Everything ties together so well. The crops being so beautiful but having a touch of decay and creepiness, the sound effects happening throughout, the random events that don't actually impact game-play., everything is creepy and mysterious and unknown.
I love how to game has both immediate threats and more 'docile until provoked' kind of threats, yet everything seems to want to kill you. You can never take a break and you're always on the edge of your seat. (Also why i think there shouldn't be a save button)

However, it's not nearly as challenging as videos made it out to be.  I finished the game my first time playing it, and i only came across 3 different threats and very quickly learnt how to get around said threats. I found that some of them became less creepy/scary after only a couple encounters.

I wish there were modes/levels where (for example) events happen more/less often, crops need more/less water, crops yield more/less money or cost more/less. Maybe you have more lives if on easy mode, maybe there are more steps to escape on hard mode.

(SPOILER: I liked how the deer is always a threat but i wish the clown and crawling guy happened more often. I also wish the music for the crawling guy was shorter and more immediate. Everything became predictable quickly, but i think it would help if the frequency of events was increased as you progress and distance of triggering the deer was further)

Here are some threats and events that i think would fit in well but definitely don't have to be added: 

1. killer bunny that are found feeding on your crops. if you let them eat a crop they are fine and you loose a crop no matter what progress its at, but if you approach them (similarly to the deer) they turn into a killer bunny.
2. Fake clown #1. A clown that looks a bit different to sad clown and will try to take the balloon from you.
3. Fake clown #2. A clown that gives you a blue balloon instead of a red one, and if you try to give it to the sad clown, the sad clown kills you.
4. Disease. A mist that covers a patch of crops and when you walk into it, triggers an immediate event, like the crawling guy or triggers the deer. Also makes the crops not be able to water.
5. Nightmare. A shadow figure that chases you into the house at night time, but goes away when you approach the bed.
6. Friends/Family come to save you. They rarely show up at the docks on a boat offering to take you home. If you get on the boat they turn into another creature and kill you.
7. Rain. waters your crops.
8. Sun. you need to water your crops more frequently or they will die, and if you don't dispose of dead crop they will catch fire and spread to other crops.
9. Witch. appears randomly and must make an offering of (say pearls) or she will try and kill you.
10. Wendigo husband. A bigger and faster version of the normal deer.
11. Full moon. Some random nights are a full moon where werewolf/s attack you at the start of the night. Some full moons they don't attack and can instead be seen running in the trees
12. Greed mushrooms. They grow randomly and you can eat and collect a full inventory (max seeds, max water, max lantern fuel) If you eat too many times you die.
13. Alternative mushroom. You can eat to still collect full inventory but have a rare chance to die.
14. Vampire fish. If pulled up on the fishing line (rare), renders the fishing line useless for the rest of the game-play (or de-spawns after a bit). If collected, you die.
15. Calico cat. A cat friend that sits buy the docks. If you give it a fish it will help you by watering your crops slowly over time and slightly decreasing the chance of events triggering.
16. Black cat. A cat that also sits by the docks but if you don't feed it before you leave, it will come with you back home and unlocks a new ending where it kills you when you escape (maybe your family too)
17. Dog. The crow drops a bone at some point and a dog spawns by the selling bench. if you feed the dog the bone, it will stay in your house and decrease how fast the bed monster spawns.

I love this game, yeah it could use a "save" option, but still - design, mechanic and the whole idea is so awesome. I adore design of main character, so simple yet so nice and adorable. Hope you like the fanart :D

This game is honestly amazing, It's so rare to find a free-to-play game that's this good. Here is my feedback (only meant as constructive criticism)

In my opinion the clown character needs more time to be found and to give the balloon to. It is also possible for the deer to stay right outside the door standing still while in the eating animation when you're supposed to be finding the clown, this makes it feel a lot more luck-based than skill-based.

I don't think the deer should be allowed to stand still right outside the door, especially during the clown music. I know that you can trigger the deer and then hide in the house, but this feels like it shouldn't be a required thing to survive.

I also think it would be very nice to have easy/normal/hard categories for the game. For example <easy> could be where it takes longer for monsters to attack, the candles last longer, maybe you gain more money from selling crops, and maybe you only need 1 or 2 gears for the boat, that sort of thing.

A way of keeping the deer occupied would also be cool, so imagine if there was a hook on the map that you could hang meat on, meat purchased from the shop. This would keep the deer busy for maybe 20 something seconds? Enough time to safely install the gears to the boat, or to try and find the clown without running into the deer.

Another feature that I really think should be added is rain, that waters the crops. As well as having specific sound options, so if I want to hear the clown music louder, I can specifically toggle that instead of having to change the entire game's audio.

I loved this game , it was very spooky but amazing to play 

Fun game!

This game is such a cool concept! 

I kept seeing this game on Tiktok Livestreams and was dying to know what game it was, the artstyle is AMAZING! So I looked on Google Lens and found it! Will it get Linux support ever? I really wanna play this on my Steam Deck!

I seen a short on YouTube. Want to play. Looks like it could be fun with coop too. 

Make it android too!!

Whoever struggles with beating the game, I made a guide on beating the game in under 30 minutes :)

Where did you find MY sleep paralysis demon and put it in the game

i hope this comes to steam

I did not do well my first run through, but i definitely will give it another go! 

hi

I’ve been playing this for a month now speed running or just having fun. This feels extremely selfish to ask and I’m glad you’re even continuing to add more content. Do you have a time estimate on any new updates? I’m dyingggg for more! 

Do you plan on releasing this for more than pc? I’d love to play this on my switch.. if not, may have to steal some time on my husbands pc 👀

sorry, if i could, i would pay a hundred dolars for this game.

great game , we need part 2

I had to give this game a second try ! It is so good!

telling everyone to play it

hype for any updates in the future

Really awesome game that truely got me scared. Especially the time i tried to pet that deer...

Are you planning on releasing more levels ? i'd love to play more of this :3

Is there any chance you'll release the game for linux?👀

I noticed sound cues are very important for this game, perhaps a deaf friendly version that finds ways around this?

I did my best to put a creature walkthrough together since I get so many questions :3 still so excited for the next level!

Hey guys! Serious question, is this good?

Simplesmente um dos melhores jogos que eu já joguei, a imersão e tensão que o jogo passa é indescritível... me passou uma vibe de Don't Starvey, amei! Meu jogo preferido.

Tudo é perfeito desde a trilha sonora a arte, uma verdadeira obra de arte.

Not sure if this is a problem with my pc settings but my 3070 (prebuilt) goes crazy when i play this game, i think its because its constantly trying to get the highest fps amount, so an fps cap setting would be nice 

It is planned to add a multiplayer mode?

I really want to test the game, but I'm going to save some money first to help the developer

Are there any plans to update this? It seems like a really fun game.

This is a masterpiece. This game deserves more love, please add more, I beg.

I really enjoyed the game, and had a couple of quick time action jump scares thanks to the "CREATURE" would love to see more

Amazing experience 

i just got it to work again  awesome game
