Controls: Left Mouse Button Click - load pumpkin/start new game Left Mouse Button Release - fire pumpkin

To fire a pumpkin, click and hold the left mouse button. Then, while still holding the button, drag the mouse down and left or right to aim. When you release, the pumpkin will fly in the direction that the sling is pointing. Speed and accuracy are the key; it takes some practice!

Oh no! It's Halloween and the neighbourhood teens are throwing pumpkins at Old Man Bitters house!

You'll have to use your extreme typing skills to smash the pumpkins and save your house. The police will arrive any minute, but untill then, you'll have to hold out on your own!


Type the words that appear at the bottom of the screen as fast as you can to destroy the pumpkins. Your score will increase based on the length of the word and the difficulty. You may change the difficulty in the options menu. You have one minute to destroy as many pumpkins as you can before they hit your house - good luck!
