Pump King (PRE-ALPHA)

In a spooky Freaky Friday twist, Bacon handles the programming, Vinnie handles the art! What's the worst that could happen? (A great looking, buggy, unfunctional game. That's the worst.) Wonderful sound is from Buttons, as always.

CONTROLS A - Move Left D - Move Right Space - Jump Left Shift - Plant Pumpkins

SPECIAL DEBUG CONTROLS C - Generate Candy LMB - Super Invisible Gun (use to test enemy's hp)

Pumpkins cost 25 candy to plant and have a shortened grow time (in the finished game, growth cycles would take 15-20 seconds). There are 5 different types of pumpkins that can be spawned:

• Vertical Shooter (shoots 1 bullet vertically every 1-2 seconds)
• Diagonal Shooter (shoots 2 bullets at an angle every 3-4 seconds)
• Magic Pumpkin (damages ground enemies and looks good while doing it)
• Candy Generator (generates a steady stream of candy)
• Boomkin (rockets into the air when airborne enemies are nearby)

Originally intended to be a shooter with multiple waves, in its current embodiment, there are no fail states. There's not even a way to win. (Which I guess is a good metaphor for life.)

Right now, only two waves exist - the initial wave with flying enemies and the wave with ground enemies. I ran into some weird bugs two hours before submission and spent a lot of the time figuring those out instead of building out the waves.

This was a fun exercise but I hope to have an actual game to back it up next time. I'm hoping to edit this to make it into an actual playable product and will link it below when it's ready (I know that it won't be the judged submission).

Thanks for playing (or like, opening the game and then closing it soon after)! /- Bacon
