Our take on 100 Pumpkins 2
Rather than using a continuous level structure, the game divides its interconnected world into screens with one required pumpkin each. Progress also depends on returning those pumpkins, while endings reflect both time and lives lost.
What is 100 Pumpkins 2?
Explore an interconnected world containing more than 100 screens, each requiring one pumpkin to be found and returned.
Solving puzzles and fighting bosses are part of the journey, with checkpoints on every screen and maps that show locations and completion status. Returning pumpkins unlocks item rewards, including double jump. A pitchfork-based platform mechanic adds another movement element. Endings vary according to lives lost and completion time. The game also includes compact layouts, upgraded bosses, music, control remapping, warping, faster retries after falling, and more dynamic layouts. It is the second game in the 100 Pumpkins series.
