Grumpy Editor used to mark Halloween time with a hair-raising visit to the Haunted House in Disneyland, but that is no longer necessary with Halloween Experience, a scary app for Apple Corp.’s iPhone and iPod Touch users.
Since it came out last year, Halloween Experience has been enhanced and this year made it to Apple’s "U.S. Entertainment Top 100 Paid Apps" list.
With more than 34 million iPhones and more than 20 million iPod Touch active units --- Apple sold 7.4 million iPhones and 10.2 million iPods in this year’s third quarter alone --- users of the multi-game app will find plenty of eeriness, with haunting background music, flying/cackling witches, playing spooky hangman, solving a puzzle, tilting the device in one of eight directions to hear scary sounds and, of course, carving a pumpkin.
Halloween Experience allows:
• Creating a virtual Halloween pumpkin by moving 30 facial pieces via pinch and rotate gestures.
• Working on nine versions of pumpkin creations at different times.
• Playing a Halloween-themed hangman game with more than 150 spooky words randomly displayed, coupled with a percentage score.
• Going to a haunting Tower of Hanoi puzzle game with 10 levels including a display of number of moves and time elapsed.
• Sending an e-mail of a created pumpkin directly from within the program (with 3.0+ devices).
Developer Energize Software has more details plus a demonstration video, and Halloween Experience can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store.
Halloween Experience tops the Halloween list at AppReview.com which also hails the multi-game in its “Apps Worth a Buck” list.
