Fun Halloween themed game, that contains a lot of jank. The artstyle is gorgeous, the music is excellent, and the story and character dialogue is quirky and appropriately cartoony spooky. The platforming isn't exactly precise, and could use more polish and tighter controls, and the on rails events can lead to many frustrating deaths. Basically you're going to die a lot because of this. Puzzles are light and weapon variety is limited, and so is the combat, but they are fun to dish out. The other part that you're going to die a lot is the final boss battle, where the dev really ramps up the difficulty level. The game also taunts you and counts the number of deaths, which depending on your outlook, can be funny or irritating. I died a total of 51 times. Overall, Pumpkin Jack could use more refinement, but it's still a good pick up on sale for this season.

Age Range: 5 year olds - to maybe 16.
It's very kiddy, stupid, and not what I thought.
Pumpkin Jack has about 6 linear levels, there's no exploration like I assumed there might be from watching the gameplay/trailers, but that's my own fault.
I thought it was akin to something like Banjo Kazooie, with a whole level of exploring and collecting, but it holds your hand a lot and you just walk in a straight line the entire game. There's only 3 buttons too; Attack/Jump/Dodge.
It's fine for the younger generation, they'll enjoy it more than adults, a 5 year old could complete the whole game minus some difficult parts even I had trouble with - the graveyard minigame wasn't hard but it took a long ass time. The Santa minigame was the first and only frustrating thing of the entire game.

Amazing game! Perfect for the Halloween vibe.
The gameplay is spot-on, the story is fun, witty, and the visuals are spooky and atmospheric.
Highly recommended!

Pretty fun and short action-platformer; themed perfectly for the spooky season and short enough to 100% in 10 hours or less.

A wonderful little game to get into the Halloween mood. Don't come expecting triple A polish though... there's some jankiness here, but it is endearing.
The game is very easy. But it's a button masher and a bit of a platform puzzler, and I found everything very relaxing and fun. The music is super cute and on point, and the visuals throughout the first couple levels are really great. I love the lighting.
This is a wonderful change from the usual heart pounding roguelite or souls-like games I play. It's all fun, no stress, and pure Halloween spirit. Everything I hoped it would be.
