the games graphics and just the way the music adds a comical/halloween effect makes it even better.

This is really a game where the little things count, and they are great. The music adds a manic sort of pacing, and the simple approach to physics combined with great animation and overall graphics makes for an awesome Halloween game!
I love the detail in the clouds at the bottom, the way the pumpkins explode, and the theme of tossing rotten apples at pumpkins. Perhaps...maybe...the music could have had more than one song, or just been somewhat longer. Perhaps it could have used better sound effects as well...would have liked to see more than an intrinsic reward for getting 3 stars on levels.

out of 10...
gfx - 9 (cool animations, warm colors)
sfx - 8.5 (killer song, just gets slightly annoying)
design - 9 (great approach, awesome theming)
gameplay - 8 (simple yes, but a blast)

overall, this is a quick game that anyone could beat in about 10-15 minutes...if they didn't care about level stars...which to be honest there isn't much incentive for. Otherwise, a highly recommended Halloween game!!!

+ The graphics are clean and comical.
+ The music had a cute horror-humor sound to it. Very Abbott and Costello-like.

- The gameplay unfortunately suffers due to whenever you go beyond the boundaries of the screen when you pull the hand back to release your pumpkin, it locks up. You know you can pull pumpkin further, but it just won't let you shoot if you do. This I would say needs to be addressed.

Otherwise it can be quite a nice little entertaining time-waster to play.

The click and drag was really annoying because I kept pulling beyond the game... otherwise fun and just the right length for casual play.

good game.
