Pumpkin Jack is a game I would describe as "good enough."
It's not an especially amazing platformer, but it's good enough. It's a mashy, brainless combat game, but it's good enough. The art direction skews on the side of being a little TOO colorful, but it's good enough. There's a lot of dialog and most of it is forgettable, but it's good enough.
And there aren't a lot of games that fill this niche; it may in fact be one of the best non-horror Halloween games. And that, too, is good enough, isn't it?

Fun 3D platformer with simplistic combat controls, great art style, nice story and a variety of easy mini-games in each level. Every level has it's own puzzles and racing events, hidden crow skulls to collect, different themed environments to explore and end of level boss encounter. Bosses has three different phases of progressively harder attack sequences with the final boss being the hardest. With each boss defeated, you unlock a different weapon to wield and freely choose from at the beginning of the next level. Some negatives would include clunky controls especially noticeable during platforming sections and a few lack-luster mini games. Overall, if your looking for an easy laid back platforming hack-n-slash experience, then I would recommend giving this game a try especially if you can pick it up on sale.

Cool little game for Halloween. It mimics some of the old 3D platformers with its gameplay, story and music.
It also didn't overstay its welcome and it's aptly priced, which is something that can't be said about a lot of games
I felt nostalgic playing it and had fun all the way through. Great Work Nicolas!

Sometimes it's nice to just play and relax with a simple and fun game rather than the mega hardcore ones.

A short and very enjoyable 3D platformer with humorous dialogue.
I really enjoy simplistic games that just focus on fun and a decent story. Pumpkin Jack does that very well, easy to run and pleasant to pick up and play
