Another short game for the holidays time, and one that's kind of fitting in theme, too. A bit late for Halloween sure, but there's more than a few references to Christmas here, so that's fun

Pumpkin Jack is a 3D platformer in the classic (mascot) style, although modernised a touch, and quite a bit shorter. Just six levels, with a boss at the end of each. You'll be pretty much jumping on platforms the whole way, smashing enemies sometimes, and occasionally performing the odd one-off mini-game or puzzle

Narrative is simple and forgettable; visuals and sound are pleasing but straightforward; nearly every aspect of this game is well-done, but also basically washes past you, kind of like a sweet treat - i know i just enjoyed it, yet i feel a bit.. unfulfilled

But if you go into it expecting the short fun, candy-coated ride that it is, you'll have a good time
