Pumpkin Smashing
A downloadable game for Windows
The pumpkins are coming! And their god couldn't be happier!
Nestled in the castle of the Skeleton Kingdom, the Skeleton King's personal Skeleton Chef tamed the god of the Pumpkins. He did this by feeding him pumpkins. How the Skeleton Chef discovered that the god had a taste for his own kind, no one knows.
Angry at this affront, the pumpkins have come to enact revenge on the Skeleton Kingdom. Famine followed in their orange wake as they consumed the Boneseed crops of the skeletons. God and Chef both seeing opportunity, they send their line cook to destroy the pumpkins, bring back their insides, and cook a mass of pies to feed the starving kingdom with.
You play as this humble line cook, bullied by your boss and the cannibalistic god he conspires with. With your tenderizer mallet, go forth and do their bidding!
HOW TO PLAY
Smash pumpkins and bring their smashed remains back to the skeleton chef for him to bake pies with. Make sure the meter is full, otherwise the chef will berate you. You cannot pick up more smashed remains while the meter is full. The chef will reward you with a slice of pie for your efforts that will refill some of your health. Once you meet the pie quota, you will move onto the next level. New levels means new challenges, including new enemies to face.

Hey! I played your game on my stream! Watch it to see the live review! Here's the link for it: https://www.twitch.tv/spacematterplay 😄
You could have done better for the game! Keep it up! && I would appreciate if you rated my submission into the contest as well!
The game was pretty fun overall. I would try to make the hitboxes much larger in the future. I know that it is much harder in SFML. Sometimes it helps to draw a rectangle with low opacity or just the rectangle outline to see the hitboxes. That being said, the voice acting more than made up for the small hitboxes. I enjoyed it.
