Do The Devil’s Work in Upcoming Platformer ‘Pumpkin Jack’
In what seems like a platformer in the vein of the recent Medievil remake, publisher Headup Games and developer Nicolas Meyssonnier have announced Pumpkin Jack. The 3D platformer will arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam in Q4 2020. There’s even have a demo on Steam for you to try.
The story for the game has the Boredom Kingdom, with its happy citizens and peaceful calm, has sent the Devil himself into a flying rage! In response, ol’ Scratch has unleashed the dreadful Curse of the Eternal Night upon the land. The human inhabitants have in response summoned a mighty wizard with the power to put an end to the evil curse.
Not to be outdone, the Devil summons the spirit of Jack, the Pumpkin Lord, to fight against the wizard’s army of beasts. It’s up to you as Jack to do the Devil’s work and stop the wizard.
In addition to platforming, players will have to solve puzzles that focus on physics, gravity, and reflection. As you’ll see from the trailer below, you can detach your head and use it to access areas that you normally wouldn’t be able to reach with your body.
You’re not alone in this battle, either. As you can utilize a haughty owl to guide you, as well as a snarky crow that can deal long-range attacks.
