Pumpkin Quest: Retro Love Letter

Pumpkin Quest is a retro, 2-D pixel platformer with hybrid RPG and Metroidvania elements added in. Guide Broc on his quest to find five mythical pumpkins and some spices needed for a pie recipe! Meet town folk, pet dogs and jump over platforms! Ward off evil spirits, find loot and fight killer turkeys in this epic adventure from the maker of AXG and Up n’ Atom! Due to the length of development (off and on for the past five or six years) and poor decisions made during pre-production, I will be cutting the game short and focus more on tweaks and minor bug fixes. I learned a lot from working on this project and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with something new. I hope people enjoy playing the game, even though it's not exactly what I envisioned for it. I wanted to pay homage to the classic action/adventure games of the 80's/90's and I think I achieved that in some manner. Great learning experience and I regret nothing. It was a long road, but I finally managed to make it to the end... and I've "leveled-up" (pardon the cringe) The full game will be available on October 31, 2023!!!

Enjoy!
