Whacker of Thy Weeds by Fezezen
You must protect your farm and precious, prized jack o' lantern from the evil weeds. Plant and harvest pumpkins, use them to buy items to aid you from the shop. (For some reason itch doesn't like it when you click off the game, it won't allow you to control, it's not my fault ;-;)
This was hard as hell to get working in HTML because I made this in Love2d.

I did notice a bug where 'using' the bottom left corner of the screen triggered the shop page. Also, the game is extremely easy and you have to really try to fail at it. After getting bored, I let the weeds at the bug pumpkin and it still took three in-game days for them to take it down.
It needs a win condition. I lasted about 10 days, then got bored.
Also, the control layout kind of takes me out of a "flow" while planting and harvesting. Maybe if harvesting were automatic when walking over and using planted, it'd flow better.
Otherwise, a solid entry.
