The pumpkin grew a little too fast to manage the entire field at a time 😂. Cute concept though <3 🎃
You should mention in the description that the arrow controls are also available (they make the gameplay so mush easier)
Thanks for the feedback! :) I didn’t realise I hadn’t put the arrow controls in the description, I’ll make sure to add them.
Solid little shop simulator! I love the transformation of the pumpkins and having to balance the exact right time to pick them. The only feedback I'd have is that they seem to go bad a bit quickly, so its hard to manage more than a couple of pumpkins at once. Great job overall!
Thanks! :)
Very cute! I like that you had the arrow keys included for movement as well as that made it a lot more comfortable to press E and Q when moving around. I agree with some of the other comments about adding something, perhaps a milestone or fixed goal/s to complete? I very much enjoyed the detail of varying gold-amounts depending on the quality of your pumpkin at the time of picking - refining that and timing my planting became my goal ^_^ hopefully that was your intent!
Thank you! That was what I was going for. :)
Very smooth character controller! I got overwhelmed with how quickly the plants grew that I could only manage a small plot of 5-6 pumpkins at most, but it was fun trying to optimize timing
Thank you for the feedback! :)
I feel like the base for this game is very good but it needs something more, whether that's an increase in challenge or an escalation in how much production you can have, but due to the rate pumpkins decay and the time it takes to sell each one, you cant increase production rates no matter how much money you get. I also do like the bankrupt screen, its cute.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that adding more to it is needed to make a full scale game and it’s something I’m looking at after the jam rating period is over. :)
I had a similar idea for a game, but I didn’t like the fact that I would have to make a store so casual, I wanted someone to come in the form of a merchant and offer an assortment of goods, good job, nice to play
Thanks! :)
i love pumpkins going rot. nice touch
Thank you! :)
Cute art part and gameplay (wish there were npc's that do harvesting automatically, but ofc game jams realities are here). Well done!
Thank you for the feedback! :)
Letting the pumpkin rot makes the whole game more challenging and more realistic. And rotten pumpkins will be sold at a lower price. That's so fun. I'd love to play your expanded game after jam!
Thank you so much! :)
Pleasant graphics and atmosphere. Quite an interesting project.
Thank you! :)
We made very similar games for this jam! Fun management pumpkin grower game. I found harvesting the pumpkins at the perfect time to be the winning strategy. It was then fun seeing how long I had to wait between sowing seeds so that I could harvest each pumpkin at its best.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed playing. I’ll make sure to play your submission :)
An actual really fun game - the shopkeep did not care too much for how bad the pumpkins were ;)
But were really fun to play!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed playing :)
Cute and cozy music! Well done :)
Thank you! :)
Would have been great to have more upgrades / things to buy. Maybe a wheelbarrow to collect more than one at a time? I noticed it was impossible to collect all if I planted too much ...
I see a lot of potential to make it a fun game.

Thanks for the feedback! A wheelbarrow is a great idea, I’ll look into adding that. I chose to make it so you couldn’t pick up all the pumpkins if you planted too many to create a management element to the game, but it would probably work better with upgrades. :)
Fun little concept! Would love to see some upgrades for planting and harvesting!
Thanks! I’m definitely looking at adding some upgrades after the rating period is finished. :)
Really liked the animation, music, and menus! Would have liked an ending to the game to work towards though.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree that an ending or goal would be a good thing to add. :)
