Pumpkin 3D LITE is a playful Halloween carving scene for iPhone and iPad. A pumpkin sits on a porch waiting for you; you decide how it is carved, what sits around it, and whether it is day or night. CARVE THE PUMPKIN - Five pages of pieces around the edge of the screen: eyes, noses, mouths and lids, plus pre-carved shapes such as a cat and a witch. - Tap a piece to carve it, tap it again to take it back out. Picking a new eye, nose or mouth swaps the old one out for you. - Four pumpkin shapes to start from: normal, tall, wide, and wide and tall. - Reset puts everything back to the plain pumpkin in one tap. SET THE SCENE - Halloween props and extras to place around the pumpkin: bats, a UFO, a zombie, a dinosaur, a Happy Halloween sign and more. - Day and night: at night the candle inside flickers and the carved face glows. - Spooky music and sound effects with a one-tap mute, and the occasional cat, ghost, witch and wolf as you tap. LOOK AROUND - Hide the menu to see the whole scene, drag to turn around the pumpkin and pinch to zoom. - Save a picture of your pumpkin straight to your photo library. Your pumpkin is saved when you leave and is waiting when you come back. No account needed. Pumpkin 3D LITE is free and supported by a small banner ad at the top of the screen; a one-time Remove Ads purchase takes it away for good.
