Pumpkin Jack News

Spooky scary greetings, friends!

Folks, I am still totally blown away by the overwhelmingly positive feedback I received since the launch of the game – and the constructive suggestions, of course. So, this new update for Pumpkin Jack (1.3.8) is mainly based on the feedback I received from the community!

And this is what the new update brings to of you all:

• Added a FOV parameter to the video options
  
• Added HDR support to the video options (only effective for HDR compatible displays)
  
• Added Portuguese - Brazil language to Pumpkin Jack
  
• Added a new timer mode for speedrunner: The full game timer
  - This mode enables you to have a timer that takes previous levels in considerations, and give a clean timer for completing the full game from A to Z
  - When this mode is enabled, ending a level will put you at the beginning of the next one, no matter if you had a save in this level or not
  

• Fixed a bug where achievements didn’t unlocked properly on level 1
  
• Fixed the speedrun timer look
  
• Fixed a bug where the timer was still counting during mini-game cutscenes
  
• Fixed a bug where the continue button was loading the final boss scene, even if there was no save in level 6
  
• Fixed a bug where opening level 6 from the level selector was opening the final boss scene, even if it was already done. This was blocking people from replaying the level 6 for collection purpose.
  

Oh, and I almost forgot: From now on the Steam Trading Cards for Pumpkin Jack are also available! Have fun collecting them!

Thank you all very, very much for your ongoing feedback and support - it's really appreciated! ❤️

All the best and stay healthy everyone!
