This will be a tough review

For no other reason than I'm sure that the 300 character minimum for reviews will take longer to read and write than the game itself.
The game is a cute timewaster. You stand in a graveyard and pumpkins jump around all over the place. Your mission is to walk up to the pumpkins and destroy or capture or something them. For each pumpkin you get points and when the time is up the game ends.
At least it works.
This game is horribly uninteresting. It's one of those timewasters you can sometimes see on flash-sites. And they usually come with more levels and at least some sort of interesting things (like pumpkins that are worth more points, or pumpkins that add to the timer rather than give you points. Perhaps even pumpkins that speed up time as long as they're uncaptured) but this is more like a prototype base game.
As a prototype base game the concept itself isn't the worst possible out there but it's nothing special either.
I like the pumpkin graphics though. They are really cute when they bounce around. The controls are not perfect, which is always a problem in point-scoring timed games. You want to be able to do things as accurately as possible and occasionally the player would walk through pumpkins or button presses would not register when beside a pumpkin you wanted to capture. But those really a minor issues and since the game is so bland anyway it's not like it takes away much from the experience.
