I brought this on steam initially while back. But never got around to playing it. So when I saw it on discount on switch, I felt I had to get it and thought i should attempt the PC verison after. I personally feel this game works much better with a controller, as using the keys on the computer, can be hard to master at times. The premise is pretty simple, your an undead pumpkin man who has been tasked by the devil to kill a good wizard. It's your typical platform based game, with basic combat and jump mechanics, very reminicent of platformers from the PS2 era. The noises the character make I found to be very irritating and the initial interactions you have with the crow and owl, reminds me of that boss fight from the first Sly Racoon where you gotta make all the weird positions to dodge the crocodile witches weird spells by pressing a random assortment of buttons and copying her. Hardly worth paying attention too half the time. It also has similar thing to that one specific episode, where it has a bunch of ghost enemies you fight, you must kill and the only way to stop them respawning is to kill the source. I.e the gravestone or pile of bones or den, in this game. It's also got a similar vibe to the Ratchet and Clank games with the grind rail section, where you must destroy an item on the track to proceed forward while you ride along the track and not get hit and knocked off. A lot of the levels require something similar to this. It also gives off Scooby doo vibes, as you battle random ghostly creatures and monsters. Each level has a gimmick similar to crash bandicoot (funny that one of the in game trophies, even references this) with random races and challenges spread thoughout the level. Some are alright, but most are often frustrating and extremely repatative, specifically the racing segments. You also have segments where you go headless and must do some medial mini game to progess forward. Similar with the gimmick, some are ok and other rather annoying . I also found the game to be rather short, for what it was worth. But for what is there, it's a solid game. I'd personally just wait till it goes on sale, as $43.95 AU as it is not worth it, full price, for a pretty average and short platformer.

Se ve bonito el juego pero no te dejes engañar si viniste por que era un juego ligero y sencillo, tiene errores fatales como que cada ves que haces un cambio en los ajustes y lo guardas se abre otra ventana de el mismo juego como si lo hubieras abierto de nuevo pero esta ves con los nuevos ajustes y si llegas a morir o sorpresa se cierra la ventana que se abrió de el mismo juego y se borran al parecer tus ajustes y pierdes fps bajando incluso a 17 fps y ya no digas si te sales del juego es igual y lo peor es que en los ajustes parce que se guardo tu configuración pero es mentira por que a pesar de que parezca que si se guardo es una vil mentira pues tienes que mover algo guardar luego volverlo a acomodar y guardar de nuevo para que se componga... no gastes tu dinero si no quieres batallar con algo con bugs como estos, ya si tienes una pc muy buena podrías intentar pero ya es cosa tuya.

Half game, half amusement park ride, Pumpkin Jack upholds a rule that seems forgotten by many games lately; Theatrics. THIS is how you do a Villain Protagonist. TLDR; Combat is a tad simplistic, but the game makes up for it with a variety rollercoaster rides, quirky writing, and an excellent soundtrack. THE GOOD STUFF: + Aesthetically, this game is a 10/10 reminiscent of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Tim Burton's imagination + Fitting soundtrack that perfectly captures the ambiance you would expect from a game that looks like this + Jack is the perfect villain protagonist, as he is witty, charming, and unabashedly evil. It doesn't pull the "complex villain" or "tragic villain" routine that is so overdone lately. Nope. Jack is just an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and we love him for it. + Amusing boss battles, where they are closer to "amusement park" bosses than actual challenges (not a bad thing) + I gotta give praise to the developer for his placement of collectibles and secrets. No obscure, painstaking BS. Just hidden collectibles that incentivize being sharp and looking around corners. + VERY Completionist friendly + The antagonists are similarly charming + Combat is serviceable, but far from the game's highlight + Surprisingly high enemy variety + Pumpkin Jack is not trying to challenge you, but to entertain you, which is something that is incredibly underrated in today's gaming scene THE BAD STUFF: - Keep in mind that this game is short, especially if you collect everything on your first playthrough - Not a lot of replay value after completing the game, outside of going through the main story again - Some minigames, particularly the last one, can be somewhat annoying to complete - It's not particularly challenging, which will turn off some people CONCLUSION: I loved this game. It reminded me of old Xbox/PS2 era games. Yes, it's short. But it is also a great example of Quality over Quantity. An easy recommend for gamers who are not cynical or expecting a soulslike experience. Honestly, I'd argue that this is an ideal palate cleanser. 9.7/10

氣氛不錯 缺點是重複設計太多，而且容易摔死
