Play as a scarecrow in Sleepy Hollow as you defend the great pumpkin from fiendish shadows. Plant crops and sell them to build towers and bring the great pumpkin back to former glory in this semi-endless tower defense game! (Note: There is a victory condition for each stage.)

Controls

Arrow Keys	Player & Menu movement
Z	Confirms selections, Opens menus, and can be used to upgrade the great pumpkin when close.
X	Quickly sells fully grown crops or towers without opening the menu.
Enter	Pauses the game. Can quit to menu from there.

Instructions: It's suggested you go to the in-game help page for insight and lore first, but if you need more direct info it's here. This is a tower defense game with a shared resource system. On any stage, enemies will travel down the path to your pumpkin, The Great Pumpkin. Should the enemy reach the Great Pumpkin, it's HP will go down and should it hit zero... well that's game over.

To not let this happen, you need to plant crops (Pumpkins, Corn, Gourds, Hay). When they are fully grown you can select them to be sold for seeds or spend seeds to upgrade them into towers. Towers will attack enemies and protect The Great Pumpkin. So balance how much seeds you'll want to spend on crops-to-towers-to-great-pumpkin.

To Win: Oh yah. You can also spend seeds on upgrading The Great Pumpkin. If you approach the Great Pumpkin and press Z, you can upgrade the pumpkin. The Great Pumpkin exerts an aura that gives you a seed and a speed boost when nearby. This radius increases per upgrade. Upon the last and final upgrade (tier 5), you beat the stage! Of course, you could always not and go for a higher score. Or maybe you want to beat the stage as fast as possible? It's up to you.

It might be awkward at first, but the game is relatively easy once you get into a rhythm and know what you are doing.

List of Known Bugs:

• Upgrading the Great Pumpkin doesn't decrease your seeds but still requires a threshold. (Will be fixed after game jam)
• Sound isn't implemented. There's no sound effects so don't expect them.
• Sometimes the UI for the menus freaks out for one frame.

Feel free to reach out if there's more problems found out.
