This is epic Win. The concept is genius!

This game was pretty. That's pretty much it. I'm not too much of a fan of casual games.

Yes, it was a very pretty game, near-perfect graphics. The music reminded me of the smooth transitioning day-night music in The Legend of Zelda, which is a good thing ;). Aside from those, I personally thought it was a bit boring, having only one minigame, then 2 other options. I couldn't stand much more than level 4 of letting my pumpkin hit a soccer ball. It also seemed like if your pumpkin got thirsty at night and you had to give it water, it would then be tired all day, points go down, and you're screwed. ;) I think with more time this could've been a very good game.

This game is fun and enjoyable. The only problem with it is that there is little to do.

With that said, its a wonder that its getting more votes than the rest of the games in the contest. So much for not judging a book by its cover. It gives me a vibe like most sims based around "The Sims". They seem really cool and fun at first but they get boring and obnoxious really quick. With that said, the creator is definatly ready for corporate Game Development.

LOL. I think we shouldn't judge the creator, because they obviously are experienced in making games, and this game would appeal to many many people if it had more to do and was more enjoyable. I think given more time, the creator could've taken this somewhere, and I hope the creator does go somewhere with their games, because they LOOK sellable, they just need to BE that good.

It ended up amounting to just repeating 1 minigame over and over, unfortunately. It just got a bit repetitive. I noticed as soon as I posted the comment, that it displays my vote incorrectly. I gave it 4/10.

Its pretty good, the matching game was fun, but the things were often right next to eachother.
Like most said, not much to do.

Pretty good still, you obviosly put a lot of work into it.

I like how my vote was changed to 100%, even though I was the 1 person who voted it down for a legit reason other than it being over-rated. Any one remember the game Poke The Bunny? That's basically this with one extra button, and a mini-game (that is more interesting than the actual game).

Please stop with the attitude. You're new to the site and just laying in to people and their games. It was supposed to be a light-hearted, friendly competition and you're just making it sour and unpleasant for people. Several people have approached me upset with some of your comments, I don't wish to hear any more complaints.

OMGGames, are you saying me voting it down was not a legit reason? ;) I brought my vote up from a 1 because Adam is right, and everyone should vote for what they think no matter what the other votes are.

Chill out brah. It's a friendly competition, no need to make people feel bad, especially when they put lots of effort into it. I'm not saying I disagree with some of your points, but you don't need to express it that harshly.

The only negative attiude I've had was about this game. Not necessarily about this game or the creator, but the reaction. About the game, however, I feel like it's main focus was the art. If people have a problem with what I say I apologize (which I seem to be doing over and over again because it seems like people are misunderstanding what it is I'm talking about), and all they need to do is ask me about it, and I hope they do come to me and let me know so I can re-itterate it to them. Plus this is the ONLY game I've made a negative comment about, please tell me about the other games I have made negative comments about, unless of course you are just exaderating me to attempt to make the situation (which there is none) worse. Why is it everyone assumes I'm being negative and angry? What about the people who've been negative towards me? I really must've done something to enrage someone, because ever since I came to here and TDC I've felt like I've had to defend myself to a select few people, I really don't like it, knock it off and let's get over it, please.

I really am not trying to be a jerk, so can we please stop making me out to be one? I'm really trying to be very accomidating to everyone, so can we also stop acting like I'm not?

I meant voting it down to one to balance out the votes, which you stated was your reason for voting it down, I on the other hand voted it down specifically because I felt it really wasn't a good game, but I felt the need to express it for the sake of the fact that it was getting more attention than the other games (which is my goal if I haven't stessed that enough).
I am chill. I don't see how I'm not. I'll try to say things a little nicer. It could be worse, I could be swearing at him or making death threats, but there is no point, at least what I have said has a point. I stressed what I didn't like and why I felt I didn't like it, however I could and should have included how I felt they could have redeemed it (which I'm not the only one guilty of that problem, appearantly very few people on either website are accustomed to doing just that). There's a method to my madness.

Please, If I have offended anyone or made anyone unhappy, let me know, because obviously if I don't know I can't fix it, and if you tell the admins, they obviously won't do anything about it, because this is the first I've heard of any of this.

So look at that, it's everyone's fault, even mine. Life is great, can we move forward now?

Graphics just aren't everything. This game looked very anticipating , but was a great disappointment. To me, this was more of a simulator not a game :(

Hey, could you put a mmf2 version in the zip folder so I can see the programing? I was thinking about making a game like this.

P.S. Don't think I'm copying you, I had the idea before I saw this game.

I thought this game had an excellent concept, graphics where stunning. For those of you who says its a simulator, who cares as long as you have been entertained and i was entertained by this game so good job! Now the only negative i have about this is the that i wish there was more costumes and mini games. Keep up the good work though!
