Headup has announced that the “comically creepy” 3D platformer Pumpkin Jack will be getting spooky on a Switch near you from 23rd October.
The game, developed by Nicolas Meyssonnier, has you jumping, dodging and carving your way through enemies and puzzles in a battle of evil against good. You’ll come up against a variety of dangerous situations, rollercoaster-like minecarts, and more, and you can even use your trusty owl companion to unleash long-distance attacks. Here’s an official description:
