Petunia Pickle's Pumpkin Preview
================================
Info
----
* Designed & Coded by Ant Stiller, Published by Pond
* Preview available for download from the Pond Homepage: http://pondsoft.uk/pumpkin.html
Story
-----
* Petunia's cat has been catnapped by the vile Jack Rotheart
* And so she goes on a pumpkin blasting quest…
* At least in the full version ;)
Gameplay
--------
* The preview shows off the endless score attack mode
* Goal is simply to rack up as many points as possible before dying.
* Either by running out of lives (lost when colliding with a Pumpkin), or running out of Magic Power.
* Magic is restored by picking up a pumpkin from the ground, and popping it in a cauldron.
* Cauldrons can only hold *9* Pumpkins though, so you need to juggle those.
Controls
--------
* Joystick - Move
* Tap fire - Short Zap (fast, but does little damage)
* Hold Fire - Mega Zap (slow, limited range, but lots of damage, and eats lots of magic)
What I Like
===========
* Excellent pacing, you do have to balance prioritising pumpkins, and the baddies.
* The presentation, graphics are very charming and spooky indeed!
What I Don't
============
* Those bats! But that's why they're so great.
