Pro tip: Add outlines to objects you can interact with and update or remove that boring hint game, its not fun or challenging. Really wanted to like this title :S. I have mixed opinions about this game. The graphics are nice and the music is good and atmospheric, but when I first launched the game I was wondering if it was developed by the same people as Tiny Bang Story. To my surprise, apparently not, although Mr. Pumpkin Adventure is extremely similar to it. Others have pointed out that it's also similar to Amanita Studio's works. What I'm trying to get at is that this game is not very original.The puzzles feel too random at times, half the time there are no clues from the actual level, but you just have to sit there and spend ages trying to decipher each individual puzzle. This bothers me a lot since it makes the game incohesive, as if they just started out with nice graphics and then slapped on some puzzles for good measure. On the other hand, that also means there is a great variety of puzzles if you only came for that aspect.If you care about a good story then steer away from this game. The fact that the game is developed by a Chinese studio is no excuse, since there are other brilliant Chinese puzzle games that have better translation, such as Flood of Light, and other games by non-native English speakers that are way better than Mr Pumpkin Adventure. The comic strips open a window of opportunity for the development of a good story, but the writing makes no sense.. it is great puzzle game. Delightfully bizarre.. Delightfully bizarre.. Mr. Pumpkin Adventure is a very math and programming heavy bizarre Chinese-made point and click adventure with way too many references to everything the creators clearly loved. On one hand, it has a really great strange style, that can remind you a bit of Machinarium, but is, at the same time, distinctly Chinese. It looks and sounds interestingly and it's weird surreal story with little comic book cutscenes between chapters are extremely charming. But then, there are puzzles. Which start as something interesting and fun, but later devolves really heavily into advanced math knowledge, references to movies and things that you might not know and will have to search and committing other "game design sins" of puzzle making.Which, in the end, really killed the game for me. I went about halfway without even considering to use a walkthrough, but using internet for help, because getting a set number out of a formula of 4 other set numbers is not a task I can solve on my own. But then had to almost exclusively play with the walkthrough in the later parts of the game, apart from some more obvious and not too obscure puzzles. It's charming, it's bizarre, it has all the potential to be amazing, but unless you are into the same things the creator of this game was, I don't think you'll enjoy this journey.
