Very cute, liked the art and audio a lot! It was a little confusing figuring out the spells and why I was losing health. I assume I lost health due to touching the monsters but I never felt like I got super close to them so maybe the hitboxes are a bit big? It could use some audio or UI feedback if you decided to keep working on the game. Also sometimes felt like my spells weren't working for some reason but I was probably just misinterpreting something. Really liked it overall though, it was a nice take on the 10 seconds theme and felt like a good amount of difficulty. And I love it being themed around the spooky season! Nice job
WASD had some trouble at the beginning, but worked it out. Great idea with the coloring of the spells. Super cute pumpkin and witch. Music fits the mood well.
Awesome game!
Nice, I like the art here! The gameplay is simple, but fun at the same time. I also like that you have to swap between three different colored spells vs just having a one-use attack, it adds a bit to the complexity. It definitely got chaotic at points, though I feel it could be a little bit more difficult as I never lost a pumpkin to the monsters. Well done overall!
Could have really used a control explainer, took me forever to figure out i needed to use the mouse lol aside from that cute spooky graphics and a fun time.
Really loved the art and audio. As said before, the gameplay is simple and not challenging at all. But the idea is pretty nice.
Cute art and like the overall mood - the taking out the monsters mechanic worked well but I was only able to pick up a pumpkin once during the tutorial - after that the e button didnt seem to work again!
Simple cute and has a really nice music game I like it)
Nice little idea, controls are a little tricky (perhaps mouse scroll could change your spell?). Perfect music. Great job!
Cute little game. Love the graphics. :) The gameplay is quite simple, but still fun.
The controls felt a little bit slow/sluggish, though. Also, some more animations and effects could have helped, for example when casting a spell onto a monster, the monster just disappears without any visual effects.
Apart from that, good job! :)
i was so close to win ! really intresting gameplay that monsters are killed by the spell of their color. Art is cute ^^

Very cute game! I think if she moved a little faster it would be more engaging (she moves sooo slow)... also, it would be good if there was a penalty for using the wrong spell on the wrong monster, like then that monster would get a little faster or more dangerous. As it is now it's very easy to just grab a pumpkin and knock out all the monsters, then drop it off and you'll be back to knock out the next set before they even get close.
Stylistically, I think it would look nice if the pumpkins and witch had thicker lines to match the thick outlines of the monsters and trees. As it is now it looks like two slightly different graphical styles blended together, which mostly works.
Other than that though, nice work!!
Cute looking game, but I'm not sure why it opens with the ominous silhouette. Haha. It's a bit slow, and it's awkward having to press a number key for each spell. Maybe it would be better if the mouse wheel was used?
I like this, very nice for halloween. I wish I could maybe hold 2 pumpkins at once because 20 seems like a lot with battling enemies at the same time, but overall great job.
Cute game, love the graphics! :)
Cute game! the graphics are cute! I couldn't really tell what the spells did so maybe some feedback (either with sound or animation) could have helped make it a bit more intuitive? the pumpkin picking part of the game was nice and the mood and graphics felt cute. Good job!:)
This is very well designed. I found the controls a little tricky, many times I clicked the monster with the right spell and nothing happened, maybe it has a very little action box or something.
A really cute game. You'd definitely benefit from some kind of sound effects for picking up/placing pumpkins and casting spells. The art is stellar though.
