The Biggest Challenge
This was our first game jam using AI for almost everything: code, 3D models, video, music and sound. The biggest challenge was learning what to hand off and how to ask for it. Our job became deciding what the game should feel like, play testing, and giving clear feedback.

AI Tools Used
Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5), Claude, Tripo AI, Runway

Areas Where AI Was Used
Code and shaders (Claude Code), 3D models (Tripo AI, cleaned up in Blender), intro cinematic, cover art, music and Grandma’s voice (Runway), sound effects (Claude, plus our own recordings), UI icons (Claude Code)

Hahaha! 😄

I've seen plenty of games where you walk on a sphere, but walking on a giant pumpkin? How fun is that!! And there's even a rutabaga growing there! What a wonderfully bizarre world! It's the best💖

The game itself is a lot of fun, too. When I actually played it, I realized I had to move around much more energetically than I'd imagined before playing. But that doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. You can tell the game's balance is very well thought out.

It was a wonderful gaming experience!!

I'll definitely play it again♪ 😆

I was captivated right from the opening movie!

I absolutely love the innovative concept of walking on the surface of a pumpkin, the unique control feel, and the way the rutabagas move and sound when you pull them out.

It felt so satisfying to stomp on the beetles in quick succession!

I thought it was a fantastic game!

Such an original idea! Great job

Walking around on a giant spinning pumpkin is a genuinely original idea — I don’t think I’ve played anything like it. Grandma Rudy’s voice is great too, it gives the whole thing real personality, and the squelchy goo and pop sounds are very satisfying 🎃 Nice work!

So unique! I never thought about walking on top of pumpkins before. 

 I didn't notice the beetles at first, and I really struggled because it was tricky to hit them even when jumping. My high score was 10 beetles! 

 I had a great time playing this!
