About
"100 Pumpkins" is a platformer game where you play as a scarecrow on a mission to find 100 lost pumpkins in an interconnected world. Each screen contains one pumpkin, and you'll encounter cheesy spooky enemies and environments along the way. With simple stage layouts, a helpful minimap, and checkpoints on every screen, the game features 4 endings based on the number of lives lost and includes boss battles.





- The game offers a charming Atari-like aesthetic and simple sound design that evokes nostalgia for early computer games.
- It's a fun and quick exploration platformer with light puzzles and just enough challenge to keep players engaged.
- The game is easy to replay due to its short playtime, making it appealing for those looking for a casual gaming experience.
- The game is inaccurately tagged as a metroidvania, lacking unlockable abilities or progression mechanics typically associated with the genre.
- Many rooms are either empty or too basic, leading to a lack of challenge and depth in gameplay.
- The game is very short, with some players feeling it could be completed in under 30 minutes, which may leave some wanting more content.
