--- THE CONCEPT ---

Imagine your Pumpkin as an object floating in the Real World.

Your iPad/iPhone becomes a Movable Window that allows you to see and carve all sides of your Pumpkin from every possible point of view.

STAND UP, hold up your iPad, and spin around your Pumpkin (seriously!) to see and carve all different sides!

Done carving the front of the Pumpkin? TURN ALL THE WAY AROUND the Pumpkin while holding up your iPad, and you can carve the back!

Need to carve the top? Make your iPad flat, look down at the Pumpkin below you, and you can.

Don't forget to carve the bottom! Turn your iPad up, so you're facing the ceiling, and you can carve under the Pumpkin!

It's an unprecedented level of artistic immersion. You must try it to believe it!

• Extremely precise motion control using gyroscope
• Retina Display-enhanced, HD graphics

--- FEATURES ---

Select between three amazing tools:
• Carving Knife:
      Carve out areas of the Pumpkin by hand

• Restore Wand:
      Refill previously carved out areas of the pumpkin

• Photo Stencil:  (MUST SEE TO BELIEVE!)
      Select a photo from your Photo Album.  This will use that photo to create a stencil and carve the pumpkin using the stencil!  You can shade, scale, and position the stencil carving in real-time on the surface of the Pumpkin by adjusting your iPad's orientation.

Pinch to Zoom In and Zoom Out of the Pumpkin at any time and control the fineness of your carvings

Snap a photo of your pumpkin at any time and place it in your Photo Album, using the Camera button.

Share your creations with your friends over Facebook or Email.

Realistic 3D graphics including dynamic lighting effects, and an ambient Halloween-themed environment.

Great for creative people of all skill levels, from kids to professional artists.


--- FUN THINGS TO TRY ---

Sit in a swivel chair, put your finger on the Pumpkin, and spin around in your chair. You'll carve stripes around your Pumpkin!

Try turning your Pumpkin upside down by moving your iPad. You can't! The stem will always point up toward your ceiling!
