About

Celebrate Halloween this Autumn on your iPhone in 3D. Carve a 3D Jack o'Lantern in an eerie graveyard using touch, zoom and tap gestures. Rotate the pumpkin, tap "carve" and carve out shapes of any kind on all sides of the pumpkin! Return to the original point to close your shape. Zoom in to hone in better shapes and finer features of your carving.

See your spooky shapes lit up! Rotate the pumpkin around to cast light from the pumpkin to the haunted crypt.

- Three camera angles: A carving angle, a viewing angle to see light cast on the crypt and a graveyard scene.

- Haunting environmental sound effects complete the experience and set the scene.

- Cancel any currently drawn shape by tapping the "X" in the corner.

- Tap "Carve Pumpkin" and "Rotate Pumpkin" to change modes.

- Because the pumpkin is a 3D surface, carving takes a little practice at first. Tap once to start the shape. This will make a large dot. After that, tap on the pumpkin make addtional lines or drag your finger to make curved lines. Trace back to the original dot to close the shape.

- An idea to get the hang of carving in 3D is to start a point by tapping and then dragging your finger nearby to trace and see where the line goes. It cannot be stressed enough that what appears to be "inaccurate touch detection" is actually the result of touching an object on a 3D surface. To carve a good 3D pumpkin it does take practice, just like carving a real pumpkin.
