Lantern Carver

Carve jack-o'-lanterns on a dusk porch by tracing each dotted stencil — faces, cats, bats, moons and ghosts — before the clock runs out, popping out every closed cut. Accurate, slip-free cuts build a clean-cut streak and finished pumpkins light up for a star rating, while running out of time or carving sloppily costs one of three lives as stencils grow harder and the clock tighter.

Controls: Drag with the mouse to carve, click pickups, SPACE to start / skip the reveal • Touch: drag a finger along the dotted lines, tap pickups and the reveal
