Smash Halloween Pumpkins: The Challenge

I clicked “Start Game” thinking I’d just smash pumpkins for a few minutes. That was the whole plan. Instead I got dropped into what feels like a full-time pumpkin demolition job where everything is either exploding, chasing me, or trying to ruin my high score. You move, you shoot, you try to survive… and then suddenly there’s 15 pumpkins on screen and your brain just says “good luck bro.” It’s very simple, almost too simple, but somehow still manages to get stressful once everything starts speeding up. One mistake and it’s basically over, so you end up playing like your life depends on digital pumpkins. The loop is addictive though. You fail, you restart, you say “last try,” and then somehow it becomes 2AM. It’s not deep, it’s not complicated, it’s literally just smashing pumpkins—but it works in that weird arcade way where your brain refuses to quit. Recommended if you enjoy simple arcade games that turn “one quick run” into an hour-long regret session.

Smash Halloween Pumpkins: The Challenge feels like something you would find in one of those "Over 1000 Games" shovelware CDs in the 90s that was loaded with shareware\Freeware\demos. It would probably be one of the better titles, but that’s not saying much. There isn’t a lot of content – most of the levels are very small and aren’t much of a challenge at all. There are only a few actual levels with some moving platforms and strategy involved (showcased in the game trailer.) Only 2 weapons – shotgun and rocket launcher. The boss battles are simple as well – just mash the fire button at them while collecting health and ammo that respawns. It starts out with a story and a short cut scene, but there is no more after that – completing the game just brings up the credits screen. The biggest challenge is trying to play the game while it hides half of the screen with info boxes. Pick up ammo, health, or even starting a level causes a large info box to popup for a couple of seconds. It has other bugs like when an enemy is hit the flashing sprite stays in place so it looks like there are more enemies than there really are. Overall, it might be a short time waster if you can get it in a bundle, just like how it would have been sold back in the early 1990s.

Don't bother. This game should run fine on a potato, but manages to not work properly on my 6-month-old gaming rig. The first level is impassable because the enemies don't spawn fast enough. I can't imagine the rest of the game will work as it should. I believe this will be the second game I've refunded.

It looks and plays like the game form 90's, and not in a good way. It's dated in every possible way, the controls are basic, the animation almost non existent, the overall quality of art and style is mediocre to low, especially the enemies that looked like the child drew them. It's not necessarily a bad game for the lovers of this genre, but for me there was nothing interesting in it, uninstalled it after a couple of levels. The game came in a 2$ 50-games-bundle from e-bay, otherwise I would never pay for a game like this, not even a cent, to be honest I don't think I would play it even if it was free but that is just my personal taste. I've got one more game from the same developer in that bundle and basically it is the same game but this time with Christmas theme instead of Halloween. There are better games to find for free, with all due respect to developer, the quality is too low to be charged for... 2 / 10

This really isn't a very good game. Each level (except for a couple of boss levels) is just killing a certain number of pumkins (which keep spawning until you reach your quota) and then rushing to the exit. There story is barely there. There are a few different types of pumpkin footsoldiers and only two weapons. The engine isn't great and can be a bit buggy, and every time a punpkin touches, you, it's an insta-kill. This is like an early-2000s freeware game. If you were on the Clickteam/Gamemaker scene at the ime, you've seen many games like this, and better than this, for free. Not super bad or unplayable, just amateur and too generic. The sort of game programmers make to get experience and hone their skills

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Треш платформер про хэллоуин. 15 уровней-арен, где нам нужно за определенное количество времени убить несколько десятков зомби и добраться до дверей. В игре есть три неплохих босса и несмотря на свою трешовость игра получилась довольно динамичной и драйвовой. Такие недочеты, как полет пули через весь экран и сохранение патронов при смерти делают игру еще более интересной и их можно даже назвать - маленькие фишечки. Игра понравилась и она отлично передает дух праздника мертвых. Рекомендую.

非常垃圾的游戏 屎一样的手感，尤其那跳跃，低一点的地方按住↑就像抽疯一样 每一关都是非常傻逼的内容，不停杀从门里出来的弱智僵尸，杀够数量然后找门 整个游戏从头到尾的关卡子弹数量是继承的，千万别手欠乱开抢，不然没子弹只能送死

Fun game, occupies my time, Great for that halloween energy

見ての通りのクソげーなのだが、少し頑張ればクリアできそうな絶秒のバランスなのがやらしいところ

Smash Halloween Pumpkins: The Challenge，进包类小游戏，满bug。 玩法就是捡枪、杀，杀满人进门通关。 首先子弹通关、死亡继承，所以你前一关用完下一关就没子弹，如果你不小心死了，就更惨。 不过也可以捡子弹然后自杀，所以这点还行。 比较麻烦的是虽然有血量，但扣血不准，会出现明明血条空的被打还不会死。 最重要的是： 物件碰撞，会卡边缘，起跳会被卡，运气不好还会卡死，贼烦。 关卡设计也都差不多，前两关还算看起来像是关卡，后面基本全部都是一平面。 玩起来挺无聊，虽然进包，还是资料受限。 刷全成就简单，但是不会显示。
