This was fun and (in a good way) sressful game to play! Really loved the overall feeling this game had and the day/night cycle was so well executed. I was worried that you'd need to run far away from the house to get more sticks but the regrowing of the trees work really well and eased the sress a lot. I would only improve the controls so the main character wouldn't be so slippery in their movements.
I love the simple style of this game and the character is cute! Music is nice and simple and it matches the artstyle. I got the red theme (jump height altering theme) three times in a row so I was stuck for 30 seconds right at the beginning. Personally I would drop that mechanic altogether because it doesn't make the game just a bit harder but rather impossible in some parts. Maybe there could be another level where jump height isn't a key mechanic to make progress? Other than that I think your game works really well. As someone mentioned before the controls work really nice which is always super important in a platformer.
I think this is a neat game! At first I confused the Jack-o-lanterns with enemies but other than that the gameplay was straightforward and I really enjoyed playing. I would love to see these game mechanics used in a dungeon crawler! Only weak point in my opinion is the Halloween theme which is only seen in the lanterns but I do realize that is very tricky to build a solid story in such a short time (especially when the other areas of the game are so well executed).
This is a solid entry! You incorporated the "in every 10 seconds" theme so well in this game without making it too busy or overwhelming. Only thing I would add is a few more rounds so that you'd have a chance to interact with the characters again. Right now the ending is a bit sudden. I absolutely love the art style, the music and the sound effects! All the little details makes the game feel polished and enjoyable to play.
