Congratulations on graduating from Pumbo University, class of 30XX! Now it’s time to put your degree to real world use and prove that you’re the best Pumbo Grower Ph.D. by growing the biggest pumbo you possibly can! But beware - birds and bugs like pumbos just as much as you do! If you find the provided supplies inadequate, the university shop has some fun upgrades you can buy between seasons.

Now, make us proud and go grow the biggest pumbo in the world!

Tips if you are having trouble:

  • The composter bucket cannot be picked up. You simply put any collected weeds (tracked in the top right) into it by pressing the use button (X or K). It will process them and spit out fertilizer packets which can be picked up and applied to the pumbo.
  • Platforms can only be placed against the pumbo, and not on the ground or in mid-air.
  • Most actions can only be done with an empty hand, so drop that watering can or hose before trying to shoo pests or pull up weeds!

Controls:

  • Arrow Keys (or WASD): Movement
  • Z (or J): Pickup and drop items
  • X (or K): Use items, dig up weeds, shoo pests, and compost weeds to get fertilizer
  • C (or L): Attach platforms to the pumbo

Fun game, I got a 356m pumbo, would love to see this game go further with possibly new mechanics!

Well done, that’s a huge Pumbo! We’d love to add new mechanics, pests, and upgrades to make even larger Pumbos possible!

Loved the shop 

Glad you liked it! We had more ideas but didn’t get to them, so look forward to potential future updates!

That's a very big pumpkin.

Fantastic game!  Really enjoyed the feedback loop!  Bought all the upgrades and feel like I made the pumpkin as big as I could. Really nicely done! 

Wow, yep, that is a huge Pumbo! That is indeed about as big as you can go with the current set of upgrades available in the shop. We’d like to make it possible to go even bigger, so look forward to potential future updates!

Great idea done super well!

Thank you!

A simple concept done extremely well. Great game!

Thank you!

Genuinely one of the best games I've played on Itch. Great job!

Wow, thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
