A cozy leaf collecting game for Cozy Fall Jam 2022.

STORY

Welcome to Autumnia, a city that loves the Fall season. What the people don’t know though, is that there are magical creatures in the city that control Autumn. Through a leaf ritual, these creatures make the beautiful colors of Autumn last longer.

In 5 specific points in this city, scarecrows await to be controlled by a pumpkinhead in order to start the ritual. Invisible to people, they magically rake leaves and send ‘em above. One pumpkinhead though, disregarded its magical invisibility and keeps children away from jumping at the leaf piles.

HOW TO PLAY

Mouse Left click

  • On the pumpkinhead menu at the right bottom corner, selects/deselects any of the pumpkinheads to put in one of the scarecrows
  • On the scarecrow, places the selected head in a scarecrow. If it already had a head, trades places with another scarecrow

Keyboard keys 1, 2 and 3

  • Selects/deselects a head from the pumpkinhead menu by order

The 3 pumpkinheads that the player can trade positions are:

  1. The collector: rakes leaves that fall around the place for the pile. Once he rakes a leaf, it appears above the pile.
  2. The jeepers: keeps alert around a pile, in order to keep children away. Since it is sort of a scary scarecrow, the children interest gauge in the pile diminishes over time. 
  3. The ritualist: makes the ritual of leaves flying to the sky. Takes a few seconds performing the ritual and cannot have its head taken to another position while the magic is taking place.
