It was really fun to see the crowd come out on Halloween night. This year, the pumpkin count has tripled from last year, and we're now at 18k pumpkins!

i highly recommend this if you feel like playing a lightly spooky “metroidbrainia” with chill vibes overall! you’ll probably have to keep a little notebook to actually beat it, but personally that’s fun to me (i haven’t actually beat it yet)
