Pumpkin Patch is a mini game written over a day for the PlayBasic Halloween Mini Game Challenge. The challenge was to make a pumpkin themed game over the Halloween weekend (in 48 to 72 hours). Pushed for time and artwork, I recycled some graphics and threw together Pumpkin Patch.
The game play is clearly Boulder Dash inspired, but with a few small differences. Namely it's far less polished, and the game only features two interactive character types. Those being Rocks and Pumpkins. The players objective is to collect enough pumpkins to open the exit. However the level doesn't have enough Pumpkins on it's own, so the player must create them. New pumpkins can be created by dropping rocks on them. This makes them explode . Much like the dropping a rock on diamond in Boulder Dash. All the player has to do is explode enough pumpkins and get to the exit safely. Sounds easy..
