Pumpkin Carve Overview
Pumpkin Carve was one of those simple Flash games you'd find online in the early 2000s. It fit right in with the era's casual, seasonal browser games, offering a quick digital version of a familiar Halloween activity without any complicated setup or story.
You control a carving knife with your mouse, guiding it to cut shapes into a pumpkin's surface. The main objective is to carve a complete jack-o'-lantern face without breaking the pumpkin. The mechanics involve clicking to select a cutting tool, then carefully tracing your design; if you press too hard or slip, the pumpkin can crack and end the game. The pacing is slow and deliberate, demanding a steady hand more than quick reflexes. It feels like a quiet, focused test of precision, where a single mistake undoes all your careful work.
