Crazy Pumpkin

Forget cheap jump scares. In Crazy Pumpkin, the real horror lies in momentum. The graveyard isn’t trying to frighten you with sudden shocks—it challenges you with physics that punish hesitation and reward control.

You don’t carry weapons. You don’t eliminate enemies. You simply move and that movement determines everything.

Mastering Movement

The defining mechanic in Crazy Pumpkin is its slippery momentum system. Movement isn’t instant or rigid. Once you shift direction, your pumpkin glides before settling, which forces you to think ahead rather than react late.

Anti-Panic Controls: Why Light Taps Win

New players often hold down WASD or arrow keys in panic. That’s a mistake. Continuous input causes overcorrection, making your pumpkin slide too far into danger.

Instead, short and controlled taps allow you to

Adjust direction with precision
Avoid drifting into ghost clusters
Maintain smoother arcs around tight spaces
Stay flexible when the arena fills

The game rewards calm fingers. The more controlled your inputs, the longer you survive.

The “Curve” Strategy: Herding the Haunt

By moving in broad curves instead of sharp angles, you can gradually group ghosts into a single trailing cluster. Once enemies stack, they become easier to predict and avoid.
