This game was kind of repetitive, but still fun and easy to play. Some more weapons or something to give the game some variety in the gameplay would be cool. The graphics were great for the most part. Music was spectacular and fit the game perfectly to create a spooky halloween atmosphere.

Firstly I must say I love the title art, the orange and black contrast wonderfully as a Halloween colour scheme. The game itself felt well made, fun to play (although sometimes repetitive, but that's to be expected in a small game) and the use of an alpha-channel active framing the main player helped to create a good atmosphere. The graphics were quite nicely made, and the game overall is well "polished" (lol) The music is also very good, which makes sense being Johan's speciality. Smiling

I liked the concept of the game and the music and sound were great! But the gameplay was lacking features like, jumping, other weapons, or other types of enemies. The graphics were nice but overall the game lacked in some essential features.

When I kill the pumpkin, it says Game Over. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I have the same problem! The game starts in an enclosed room with a pumpkin. Once I kill the pumpkin, the game is over and I can't get out of the room. What do I need to do?

Also in the readme, it says to kill the pumpkins.

I killed the pumpkin in under 3 seconds! Can anybody beat that?

Aww crap. I knew there was gonna be something wrong when you stress together a game in one day.
Sorry guys, I had put the character there for testing purpose and forgot to put him back to the starting position. I suppose this screwed my whole contribution up, which is kind of sad since I made the whole game, but I just forgot to place the character.
Anyway.. The updated version is up and running on the same link, so if you wanna have a shot at the real game - download it again!

Nice game. Pretty fun. I like the way you made a platformer withougt uses jump, almost made it seem like a railshooter. I expected some epic music though, and I was a little bit dissapointed. Sad
