Pumpkin Playground Release Notes & Launch Baseline

This changelog documents Pumpkin Playground in release-notes style. The first major entry is the launch baseline dated 31 October 2026. Later sections append when verified patches or community re-checks land. Parent hub: Updates.

We cite systems from the public experience description and stable wiki facts — not rumor leaks. Place link: Pumpkin Playground on Roblox by Shiny Burger.

13 November 2026 — Codes & content re-check

Community code trackers (cross-checked mid-November 2026) still list the same five strings with no newly published replacements:

Code	Reward	Tracker status
PUMPKIN	Cluster Bomb	Active
BOOM	Pumpkin Nuke	Active
WELCOME	250 XP	Check
EARLYBIRD	Early Bird Prefix	Check
TUNEDIN	Tuned-In Prefix	Check

No verified public patch notes renamed the eleven-power kit, the 300+ catalog pitch, the nineteen-map count, or the elemental set (fire, heat, water, acid, electricity). Wiki editors expanded player guides for elements and environments and vehicles and builds from the launch systems—not from invented patch features.

YouTube note: As of this re-check, no authoritative Shiny Burger gameplay walkthrough ID is embedded on wiki pages. We refuse to invent video IDs; embeds will appear only when a real topic-matched upload is verified.

Retest checklist

1. Redeem path still STORE → CODES → ENTER CODE → REDEEM (how to redeem).
2. Heat view (T) still present in controls messaging.
3. Prefab houses/towers/bunkers and saveable builds still advertised on the experience page.
4. Server size remains 6; free-to-play on PC, mobile, tablet, console.

31 October 2026 — Launch baseline

Pitch

Your own 2D physics sandbox. Spawn pumpkin people, then shoot, blast, burn, freeze, or zap them. Every limb reacts on its own: stumble, limp, break, and fall apart.

Systems that shipped

• 300+ items — guns, swords, katanas, bombs, nukes, cars, tanks, and more in the Tab catalog
• 11 powers — publicly highlighted examples include tornado, meteor shower, earthquake, time stop, gravity flip, and UFO
• Wiring — batteries, motors, and lights into player-built machines
• Elements — real fire, heat, water, acid, and electricity with heat view support
• 19 maps — from a quiet workshop to lava, the sea, and the Moon
• Structures — ready-made houses, towers, and bunkers, plus saveable builds
• Server size — 6 players
• Platforms — PC, mobile, tablet, and console on Roblox
• Business model — free-to-play experience

Design implications for players

Launch content already supports multiple fantasy loops without third-party tools:

1. Chaos director — explosives + powers + pause
2. Engineer — wiring kits + prebuilt bunkers + undo/copy
3. Stunt driver — cars/tanks across sea and Moon maps
4. Scientist — heat view and elemental interactions
5. Co-op host — six-player etiquette on shared saves

Depth pages: powers, items and weapons, building and wiring, maps, players.

Tier list seeding

Day-one usefulness opinions live on items tier list and powers tier list. Expect drift if physics coefficients or cooldowns change in later patches.

Post-launch tracking policy

When Shiny Burger ships a notable update, this page should gain a new dated heading with:

• Player-facing summary (items, powers, maps, UI)
• Broken or moved flows (codes button, catalog filters)
• Retest checklist pointers back to Updates Hub
• Links to revised guides only after editors verify in-client

We will not fabricate patch numbers, invent power names, or paste “fixed scripts.” Script policy remains on the Scripts Hub and safety guide.

Known research gaps (honest)

• Full proper-noun list for all eleven powers beyond the six highlighted examples
• Complete 300-item encyclopedia (use in-game Tab; wiki highlights roles instead)
• Exact XP curves and every prefix beyond EARLYBIRD / TUNEDIN
• Long-term roadmap (defer to official Shiny Burger channels on players)

Editors should fill gaps from primary play, not from unverified slideshow channels.

How to use this changelog in practice

1. Before a big wiring project, skim the newest entry for physics notes.
2. After any client update, run the retest list on the Updates Hub.
3. If a code fails, check expiry notes on codes before assuming a bug.
4. If a power feels different, compare with the powers guide and adjust your tier list expectations.
5. For tool-assisted cheating rumors after patches, reread sandbox tools feature types — then skip the malware.
