The art was charming:) It all was cohesive with each other. There was a point where we could only hop in the center of the game and not much change after.

My high score is 100 bounces "glitch less". Surprisingly addictive. Nice job!
Not very theme related, but kind of fun and satisfying, more so than i'd thought. But yeah, once you just stand and jump in the middle there isn't much challenge to it, it would have been great if the pumpkin jumped in more unpredictable patterns, or occasionally sped up or changed something, or became dangerous to touch - there's expansion potential to make this a more fun minigame!
Also would have been nice if the bounce sound effect changed occasioanlly, even just up-and-down on the pitch a little, so that there's a bit more variety.
I'm not sure how it relates to the game jam theme of "Haunting Memories" but it is a bit fun although if you stand in the center then jump and hit the pumpkin so it bounces towards the right corner, you can catch it in an infinite loop to gain as many points. Something I would like to see is some more challenge to it, maybe have skeletons fall from the sky that you have to dodge and maybe you have to prevent the pumpkin from hitting the ground in certain parts.
