Ninja Pumpkin

A pumpkin that knows kung fu — Ninja Pumpkin is exactly as ridiculous and entertaining as it sounds. You jump, dash, and stomp through platform-filled stages while dodging a surprisingly hostile cast of enemies who really do not want you to reach the exit.

Not all enemies play by the same rules. Red ones go down easily, yellow ones bounce around unpredictably, and the black ones cannot be defeated at all — they just have to be avoided entirely. That last type has a way of showing up at the worst possible moments.

Coins are scattered throughout every stage, and gathering thirty of them earns an extra life. It sounds straightforward until the level design starts placing those coins directly next to things that want to flatten you. Worth it anyway.
